Leviticus 1

1 And the Lord called Moses again and spoke to him out of the tabernacle of witness, saying, Speak to the children of Israel, and thou shalt say to them,

HERREN kaldte paa Moses og talede til ham fra Aabenbaringsteltet og sagde:

2 If [any] man of you shall bring gifts to the Lord, ye shall bring your gifts of the cattle and of the oxen and of the sheep.

Tal til Israeliterne og sig til dem: Naar nogen af eder vil bringe HERREN en Offergave af Kvæget, da skal Offergaven, I vil bringe, tages at Hornkvæget eller Smaakvæget.

3 If his gift be a whole-burnt-offering, he shall bring an unblemished male of the herd to the door of the tabernacle of witness, he shall bring it as acceptable before the Lord.

Skal hans Offergave af Hornkvæget være et Brændoffer, saa skal det være et lydefrit Handyr, han bringer; til Aabenbaringsteltets Indgang skal han bringe det for at vinde HERRENS Velbehag.

4 And he shall lay his hand on the head of the burnt-offering as a thing acceptable for him, to make atonement for him.

Saa skal han lægge sin Haand paa Brændofferdyrets Hoved, for at det kan vinde ham HERRENS Velbehag, idet det skaffer ham Soning.

5 And they shall slay the calf before the Lord; and the sons of Aaron the priests shall bring the blood, and they shall pour the blood round about on the altar, which [is] at the doors of the tabernacle of witness.

Derpaa skal han slagte den unge Okse for HERRENS Aasyn, og Arons Sønner, Præsterne, skal frembære Blodet, og de skal sprænge Blodet rundt om paa Alteret, som staar ved Indgangen til Aabenbaringsteltet.

6 And having flayed the whole burnt-offering, they shall divide it by its limbs.

Saa skal han flaa Huden af Brændofferdyret og skære det i Stykker,

7 And the sons of Aaron the priests shall put fire on the altar, and shall pile wood on the fire.

og Arons Sønner, Præsterne, skal gøre Ild paa Alteret og lægge Brænde paa Ilden;

8 And the sons of Aaron the priests shall pile up the divided parts, and the head, and the fat on the wood on the fire, [the wood] which is on the altar.

og Arons Sønner, Præsterne, skal lægge Stykkerne tillige med Hovedet og Fedtet til Rette paa Brændet over Ilden paa Alteret.

9 And the entrails and the feet they shall wash in water, and the priests shall put all on the altar: it is a burnt-offering, a sacrifice, a smell of sweet savour to the Lord.

Men Indvoldene og Skinnebenene skal han tvætte med Vand, og Præsten skal bringe det hele som Røgoffer paa Alteret; det er et Brændoffer, et Ildoffer til en liflig Duft for HERREN.

10 And if his gift [be] of the sheep to the Lord, or of the lambs, or of the kids for whole-burnt-offerings, he shall bring it a male without blemish.

Hvis hans Offergave, der skal bruges som Brændoffer, tages at Smaakvæget, af Faarene eller Gederne, saa skal det være et lydefrit Handyr, han bringer.

11 And he shall lay his hand on its head; and they shall kill it by the side of the altar, toward the north before the Lord, and the sons of Aaron the priests shall pour its blood on the altar round about.

Han skal slagte det for HERRENS Aasyn ved Alterets Nordside, og Arons Sønner, Præsterne skal sprænge Blodet deraf rundt om paa Alteret.

12 And they shall divide it by its limbs, and its head and its fat, and the priests shall pile them up on the wood which is on the fire, on the altar.

Saa skal han skære det i Stykker, og Præsten skal lægge Stykkerne tillige med Hovedet og Fedtet til Rette paa Brændet over Ilden paa Alteret.

13 And they shall wash the entrails and the feet with water, and the priest shall bring all the [parts] and put them on the altar: it is a burnt-offering, a sacrifice, a smell of sweet savour to the Lord.

Men Indvoldene og Skinnebenene skal han tvætte med Vand. Saa skal Præsten frembære det hele og bringe det som Røgoffer paa Alteret; det er et Brændoffer, et Ildoffer til en liflig Duft for HERREN.

14 And if he bring his gift, a burnt-offering to the Lord, of birds, then shall he bring his gift of doves or pigeons.

Er hans Offergave til HERREN et Brændoffer af Fuglene, da skal Offergaven, han vil bringe, tages af Turtelduerne eller Dueungerne;

15 And the priest shall bring it to the altar, and shall wring off its head; and the priest shall put it on the altar, and shall wring out the blood at the bottom of the altar.

Præsten skal frembære den til Alteret og knække Halsen paa den og bringe Hovedet som Røgoffer paa Alteret, og dens Blod skal udpresses mod Alterets Side.

16 And he shall take away the crop with the feathers, and shall cast it forth by the altar toward the east to the place of the ashes.

Saa skal han udtage Kroen med dens Indhold og kaste den paa Askedyngen ved Alterets Østside.

17 And he shall break it off from the wings and shall not separate it, and the priest shall put it on the altar on the wood which is on the fire: it is a burnt-offering, a sacrifice, a sweet-smelling savour to the Lord.

Derpaa skal han rive Vingerne løs paa den uden dog at skille dem fra Kroppen. Saa skal Præsten bringe den som Røgoffer paa Alteret paa Brændet over Ilden; det er et Brændoffer, et Ildoffer til en liflig Duft for HERREN.
