| 1 | Now the LORD called to Moses, and spoke to him from the tabernacle of meeting, saying, | |
| 2 | "Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them: 'When any one of you brings an offering to the LORD, you shall bring your offering of the livestock--of the herd and of the flock. | |
| 3 | 'If his offering is a burnt sacrifice of the herd, let him offer a male without blemish; he shall offer it of his own free will at the door of the tabernacle of meeting before the LORD. | |
| 4 | 'Then he shall put his hand on the head of the burnt offering, and it will be accepted on his behalf to make atonement for him. | |
| 5 | 'He shall kill the bull before the LORD; and the priests, Aaron's sons, shall bring the blood and sprinkle the blood all around on the altar that is by the door of the tabernacle of meeting. | |
| 6 | 'And he shall skin the burnt offering and cut it into its pieces. | |
| 7 | 'The sons of Aaron the priest shall put fire on the altar, and lay the wood in order on the fire. | |
| 8 | 'Then the priests, Aaron's sons, shall lay the parts, the head, and the fat in order on the wood that is on the fire upon the altar; | |
| 9 | 'but he shall wash its entrails and its legs with water. And the priest shall burn all on the altar as a burnt sacrifice, an offering made by fire, a sweet aroma to the LORD. | |
| 10 | 'If his offering is of the flocks--of the sheep or of the goats--as a burnt sacrifice, he shall bring a male without blemish. | |
| 11 | 'He shall kill it on the north side of the altar before the LORD; and the priests, Aaron's sons, shall sprinkle its blood all around on the altar. | |
| 12 | '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 upon the altar; | |
| 13 | 'but he shall wash the entrails and the legs with water. Then the priest shall bring it all and burn it on the altar; it is a burnt sacrifice, an offering made by fire, a sweet aroma to the LORD. | |
| 14 | 'And if the burnt sacrifice of his offering to the LORD is of birds, then he shall bring his offering of turtledoves or young pigeons. | |
| 15 | 'The priest shall bring it to the altar, wring off its head, and burn it on the altar; its blood shall be drained out at the side of the altar. | |
| 16 | 'And he shall remove its crop with its feathers and cast it beside the altar on the east side, into the place for ashes. | |
| 17 | 'Then he shall split it at its wings, but shall not divide it completely; and the priest shall burn it on the altar, on the wood that is on the fire. It is a burnt sacrifice, an offering made by fire, a sweet aroma to the LORD. | |
