The Burnt Offering

Leviticus 1:1-17
1The LORD called to Moses and spoke to him from the tent of meeting, saying, 2Speak to the sons of Israel and say to them: When anyone among you presents an offering to the LORD from the animals, from the cattle or from the flock, you shall present your offering. 3If his offering is a burnt offering from the cattle, he shall present a male without blemish; he shall present it at the entrance of the tent of meeting so that it may be accepted before the LORD. 4He shall lay his hand on the head of the burnt offering, and it shall be accepted for him to make atonement for him. 5He shall slaughter the bull before the LORD, and Aaron's sons the priests shall present the blood and dash the blood against the altar on all sides at the entrance of the tent of meeting. 6He shall flay the burnt offering and cut it into its pieces. 7Aaron's sons the priests shall put fire on the altar and arrange wood on the fire. 8Aaron's sons the priests shall arrange the pieces, the head, and the suet on the wood that is on the fire that is on the altar. 9Its inward parts and its legs he shall wash in water, and the priest shall burn all of it on the altar as a burnt offering, a food offering of soothing aroma to the LORD. 10If his offering for a burnt offering is from the flock, from the sheep or from the goats, he shall present a male without blemish. 11He shall slaughter it at the north side of the altar before the LORD, and Aaron's sons the priests shall dash its blood against the altar on all sides. 12He shall cut it into its pieces with its head and its suet, and the priest shall arrange them on the wood that is on the fire that is on the altar. 13The inward parts and the legs he shall wash in water, and the priest shall present all of it and burn it on the altar; it is a burnt offering, a food offering of soothing aroma to the LORD. 14If his offering to the LORD is a burnt offering from the birds, he shall present his offering from the turtledoves or from the sons of the dove. 15The priest shall bring it to the altar, and he shall nip off its head and burn it on the altar; and its blood shall be drained on the side of the altar. 16He shall remove its crop with its plumage and cast it beside the altar on the east side at the place of the ashes. 17He shall tear it open by its wings without severing it, and the priest shall burn it on the altar on the wood that is on the fire; it is a burnt offering, a food offering of soothing aroma to the LORD.
