Leviticus 1

1 Vocavit autem Moysen, et locutus est ei Dominus de tabernaculo testimonii, dicens:

Nowe the Lord called Moses, and spake vnto him out of the Tabernacle of the Congregation, saying,

2 Loquere filiis Israel, et dices ad eos: Homo, qui obtulerit ex vobis hostiam Domino de pecoribus, id est, de bobus et ovibus offerens victimas,

Speake vnto the children of Israel, and thou shalt say vnto them, If any of you offer a sacrifice vnto the Lord, ye shall offer your sacrifice of cattell, as of beeues and of the sheepe.

3 si holocaustum fuerit eius oblatio, ac de armento; masculum immaculatum offeret ad ostium tabernaculi testimonii, ad placandum sibi Dominum:

If his sacrifice be a burnt offering of the heard, he shall offer a male without blemish, presenting him of his owne voluntarie will at the doore of the Tabernacle of the Congregation before the Lord.

4 ponetque manum super caput hostiæ, et acceptabilis erit, atque in expiationem eius proficiens.

And he shall put his hande vpon the head of the burnt offering, and it shalbe accepted to the Lord, to be his atonement.

5 Immolabitque vitulum coram Domino, et offerent filii Aaron sacerdotes sanguinem eius, fundentes per altaris circuitum, quod est ante ostium tabernaculi.

And he shall kill the bullocke before the Lord, and the Priestes Aarons sonnes shall offer the blood, and shall sprinckle it round about vpon the altar, that is by the doore of the Tabernacle of the Congregation.

6 Detractaque pelle hostiæ, artus in frusta concident,

Then shall he fley the burnt offering, and cut it in pieces.

7 et subiicient in altari ignem, strue lignorum ante composita:

So the sonnes of Aaron the Priest shall put fire vpon the altar, and lay the wood in order vpon the fire.

8 et membra quæ sunt cæsa, desuper ordinantes, caput videlicet, et cuncta quæ adhærent iecori,

Then the Priestes Aarons sonnes shall lay the parts in order, the head and the kall vpon the wood that is in the fire which is vpon the altar.

9 intestinis et pedibus lotis aqua: adolebitque ea sacerdos super altare in holocaustum et suavem odorem Domino.

But the inwardes thereof and the legges thereof he shall wash in water, and the Priest shall burne all on the altar: for it is a burnt offering, an oblation made by fire, for a sweete sauour vnto the Lord.

10 Quod si de pecoribus oblatio est, de ovibus sive de capris holocaustum, masculum absque macula offeret:

And if his sacrifice for the burnt offering be of the flocks (as of the sheepe, or of the goats) he shall offer a male without blemish,

11 immolabitque ad latus altaris, quod respicit ad Aquilonem, coram Domino: sanguinem vero illius fundent super altare filii Aaron per circuitum:

And he shall kill it on the Northside of the altar before the Lord, and the Priestes Aarons sonnes shall sprinckle the blood thereof rounde about vpon the altar.

12 dividentque membra, caput, et omnia quæ adhærent iecori: et ponent super ligna, quibus subiiciendus est ignis:

And he shall cut it in pieces, separating his head and his kall, and the Priest shall lay them in order vpon the wood that lyeth in the fire which is on the altar:

13 intestina vero et pedes lavabunt aqua. Et oblata omnia adolebit sacerdos super altare in holocaustum et odorem suavissimum Domino.

But he shall wash the inwardes, and the legges with water, and the Priest shall offer the whole and burne it vpon the altar: for it is a burnt offering, an oblation made by fire for a sweete sauour vnto the Lord.

14 Si autem de avibus, holocausti oblatio fuerit Domino, de turturibus, aut pullis columbæ,

And if his sacrifice be a burnt offring to the Lord of ye foules, then he shall offer his sacrifice of the turtle doues, or of the yong pigeons.

15 offeret eam sacerdos ad altare: et retorto ad collum capite, ac rupto vulneris loco, decurrere faciet sanguinem super crepidinem altaris:

And the Priest shall bring it vnto the altar, and wring the necke of it asunder, and burne it on the altar: and the blood thereof shall bee shed vpon the side of the altar.

16 vesiculam vero gutturis, et plumas proiiciet prope altare ad orientalem plagam, in loco in quo cineres effundi solent,

And he shall plucke out his maw with his fethers, and cast them beside the altar on the East part in the place of the ashes.

17 confringetque ascellas eius, et non secabit, neque ferro dividet eam, et adolebit super altare, lignis igne supposito. Holocaustum est et oblatio suavissimi odoris Domino.

And he shall cleaue it with his wings, but not deuide it asunder: and the Priest shall burne it vpon the altar vpon the wood that is in the fire: for it is a burnt offering, an oblation made by fire for a sweete sauour vnto the Lord.
