Leviticus 1
1 The Lord called Moses and spoke to him from the Tent of Meeting, saying,
And the LORD called to Moses, and spoke to him out of the tabernacle of the congregation, saying,
2 “Go and speak to the Israelites and tell them: When you present an offering to the Lord, you may bring as your offering an animal from the herd of cattle or the flock of sheep or goats.
Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them, If any man of you shall bring an offering to the LORD, ye shall bring your offering of the cattle, [even] of the herd, and of the flock.
3 If your offering is a burnt offering from a herd of cattle, you must offer a male without any defects. Bring it to the entrance of the Tent of Meeting so it can be accepted before the Lord.
If his offering shall [be] a burnt-sacrifice of the herd, let him offer a male without blemish: he shall offer it of his own voluntary will at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation before the LORD.
4 Put your hand on the head of the burnt offering, so it can be accepted on your behalf to make you right.
And he shall put his hand upon the head of the burnt-offering; and it shall be accepted for him to make atonement for him.
5 You are to kill the bull in the Lord's presence, and Aaron's sons, the priests, are to take the blood and sprinkle it on all sides of the altar at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting.
And he shall kill the bullock before the LORD: and the priests, Aaron's sons, shall bring the blood, and sprinkle the blood around upon the altar that [is by] the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.
6 Then you are to skin the burnt offering and cut it into pieces.
And he shall flay the burnt-offering, and cut it into its pieces,
7 The sons of Aaron the priest shall start a fire on the altar and put wood on it.
And the sons of Aaron the priest shall put fire upon the altar, and lay the wood in order upon the fire.
8 Then the priests shall carefully place the pieces, including the head and the fat, on the wood burning on the altar.
And the priests, Aaron's sons, shall lay the parts, the head, and the fat, in order upon the wood that [is] on the fire which [is] upon the altar.
9 You shall wash the insides and legs with water, and the priest shall burn all of it on the altar as a burnt offering, a food offering, to be accepted by the Lord.
But his inwards and his legs shall he wash in water: and the priest shall burn all on the altar, [to be] a burnt-sacrifice, an offering made by fire, of a sweet savor to the LORD.
10 If your offering is a burnt offering from a flock, either sheep or goats, you must offer a male without any defects.
And if his offering [be] of the flocks, [namely], of the sheep, or of the goats, for a burnt-sacrifice; he shall bring it a male without blemish.
11 You are to kill it on the north side of the altar in the Lord's presence, and Aaron's sons, the priests, are to take the blood and sprinkle it on all sides of the altar.
And he shall kill it on the side of the altar northward before the LORD: and the priests, Aaron's sons, shall sprinkle his blood around upon the altar:
12 Then you are to cut it into pieces, and the priest shall carefully place the pieces, including the head and the fat, on the wood burning on the altar.
And he shall cut it into its pieces, with its head and its fat: and the priest shall lay them in order on the wood that [is] on the fire which [is] upon the altar:
13 You shall wash the insides and legs with water, and the priest shall burn all of it on the altar as a burnt offering, a food offering, to be accepted by the Lord.
But he shall wash the inwards and the legs with water: and the priest shall bring [it] all, and burn [it] upon the altar: it [is] a burnt sacrifice, an offering made by fire, of a sweet savor to the LORD.
14 If your offering to the Lord is a burnt offering of birds, you are to offer a turtledove or a young pigeon.
And if the burnt sacrifice for his offering to the LORD shall [be] of fowls, then he shall bring his offering of turtle doves, or of young pigeons.
15 The priest shall take it to the altar, twist off its head, and burn it on the altar. Its blood shall be drained out on the side of the altar.
And the priest shall bring it to the altar, and wring off its head, and burn [it] on the altar: and its blood shall be wrung out at the side of the altar:
16 He must remove the crop and the feathers, and throw them to the east side of the altar into the ash pile.
And he shall pluck away its crop with its feathers, and cast it beside the altar on the east part, by the place of the ashes:
17 He shall tear it open by its wings, but not completely apart. The priest is to burn it on the altar on the burning wood. It is a burnt offering, a food offering, to be accepted by the Lord.
And he shall cleave it with its wings, [but] shall not divide [it] asunder: and the priest shall burn it upon the altar, upon the wood that [is] upon the fire: it [is] a burnt sacrifice, an offering made by fire, of a sweet savor to the LORD.
