Leviticus
1
- The LORD called to Moses and spoke to him
from the Tent of Meeting. He said,
- "Speak to the Israelites and say to
them: 'When any of you brings an offering to the LORD, bring as your offering
an animal from either the herd or the flock.
- "'If the offering is a burnt offering
from the herd, he is to offer a male without defect. He must present it at
the entrance to the Tent of Meeting so that it will be acceptable to the LORD.
- He is to lay his hand on the head of the
burnt offering, and it will be accepted on his behalf to make atonement for
him.
- He is to slaughter the young bull before
the LORD, and then Aaron's sons the priests shall bring the blood and sprinkle
it against the altar on all sides at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting.
- He is to skin the burnt offering and cut
it into pieces.
- The sons of Aaron the priest are to put
fire on the altar and arrange wood on the fire.
- Then Aaron's sons the priests shall arrange
the pieces, including the head and the fat, on the burning wood that is on
the altar.
- He is to wash the inner parts and the legs
with water, and the priest is to burn all of it on the altar. It is a burnt
offering, an offering made by fire, an aroma pleasing to the LORD.
- "'If the offering is a burnt offering
from the flock, from either the sheep or the goats, he is to offer a male
without defect.
- He is to slaughter it at the north side
of the altar before the LORD, and Aaron's sons the priests shall sprinkle
its blood against the altar on all sides.
- He is to cut it into pieces, and the priest
shall arrange them, including the head and the fat, on the burning wood that
is on the altar.
- He is to wash the inner parts and the legs
with water, and the priest is to bring all of it and burn it on the altar.
It is a burnt offering, an offering made by fire, an aroma pleasing to the
LORD.
- "'If the offering to the LORD is a
burnt offering of birds, he is to offer a dove or a young pigeon.
- The priest shall bring it to the altar,
wring off the head and burn it on the altar; its blood shall be drained out
on the side of the altar.
- He is to remove the crop with its contents
and throw it to the east side of the altar, where the ashes are.
- He shall tear it open by the wings, not
severing it completely, and then the priest shall burn it on the wood that
is on the fire on the altar. It is a burnt offering, an offering made by fire,
an aroma pleasing to the LORD.
