Chapter 1
1 Yahweh called to Moses , and spoke to him from the Tent of Meeting , saying ,
2 " Speak to the children of Israel , and tell them , ‘ When anyone of you offers an offering to Yahweh , you shall offer your offering of the livestock, from the herd and from the flock .
3 "‘If his offering is a burnt offering from the herd , he shall offer a male without defect . He shall offer it at the door of the Tent of Meeting , that he may be accepted before Yahweh .
4 He shall lay his hand on the head of the burnt offering , and it shall be accepted for him to make atonement for him .
5 He shall kill the bull before Yahweh . Aaron’s sons , the priests , shall present the blood and sprinkle the blood around on the altar that is at the door of the Tent of Meeting .
6 He shall skin the burnt offering and cut it into pieces .
7 The sons of Aaron the priest shall put fire on the altar , and lay wood in order on the fire;
8 and Aaron ’s sons , the priests , shall lay the pieces , the head , and the fat in order on the wood that is on the fire which is on the altar ;
9 but he shall wash its innards and its legs with water . The priest shall burn all of it on the altar , for a burnt offering , an offering made by fire, of a pleasant aroma to Yahweh .
10 "‘If his offering is from the flock , from the sheep or from the goats , for a burnt offering , he shall offer a male without defect .
11 He shall kill it on the north side of the altar before Yahweh . Aaron’s sons , the priests , shall sprinkle its blood around on the altar .
12 He shall cut it into its pieces , with its head and its fat . The priest shall lay them in order on the wood that is on the fire which is on the altar ,
13 but the innards and the legs he shall wash with water . The priest shall offer the whole , and burn it on the altar . It is a burnt offering , an offering made by fire, of a pleasant aroma to Yahweh .
14 "‘ If his offering to Yahweh is a burnt offering of birds , then he shall offer his offering from turtledoves or of young pigeons .
15 The priest shall bring it to the altar , and wring off its head , and burn it on the altar ; and its blood shall be drained out on the side of the altar ;
16 and he shall take away its crop and its feathers , and cast it beside the altar on the east part , in the place of the ashes .
17 He shall tear it by its wings , but shall not divide it apart. The priest shall burn it on the altar , on the wood that is on the fire. It is a burnt offering , an offering made by fire, of a pleasant aroma to Yahweh .
