Leviticus 1
- 1And the Lord called to Moses, and spoke to him out of the tabernacle of the congregation, saying,
- 2Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them, If any man of you bring an offering to the Lord, you shall bring your offering of the cattle, even of the herd, and of the flock.
- 3If his offering is a burnt sacrifice of the herd, let him offer a male without any defect: he shall offer it of his own voluntary will at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation before the Lord.
- 4And he shall put his hand on the head of the burnt offering. It shall be accepted for him to make atonement for him.
- 5And he shall kill the young 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 the congregation.
- 6And he shall skin the burnt offering, and cut it into his pieces.
- 7And the sons of Aaron the priest shall put fire on the altar, and lay the wood in order on the fire:
- 8And the priests, Aaron's sons, shall lay the parts, the head, and the fat, in order on the wood that is on the fire which is on the altar:
- 9But 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 aroma to the Lord.
- 10And if his offering is of the flocks, namely, of the sheep, or of the goats, for a burnt sacrifice. He shall bring it a male without any defect.
- 11And he shall kill it on the side of the altar northward before the Lord: and the priests, Aaron's sons, shall sprinkle his blood all around on the altar.
- 12And he shall cut it into his pieces, with his head and his fat: and the priest shall lay them in order on the wood that is on the fire which is on the altar:
- 13But he shall wash the insides and the legs with water: and the priest shall bring it all, and burn it on the altar: it is a burnt sacrifice, an offering made by fire, of a sweet aroma to the Lord.
- 14And if the burnt sacrifice for his offering to the Lord be of birds, then he shall bring his offering of turtledoves, or of young pigeons.
- 15And the priest shall bring it to the altar, and wring off his head, and burn it on the altar. Its blood shall be wrung out at the side of the altar:
- 16And he shall pluck away his crop with his feathers, and cast it beside the altar on the east part, by the place of the ashes:
- 17And he shall split it open by its wings, but shall not divide it apart: 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, of a sweet aroma to the Lord.
