Leviticus 1
1 And Jehovah called unto Moses, and spake unto him out of the tent of meeting,
saying,
2 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When any man of you
offereth an oblation unto Jehovah, ye shall offer your oblation of the cattle,
[even] of the herd and of the flock.
3 If his oblation be a burnt-offering of the herd, he shall offer it a male
without blemish: he shall offer it at the door of the tent of meeting, that he
may be accepted before Jehovah.
4 And he shall lay his hand upon the head of the burnt-offering; and it shall be
accepted for him to make atonement for him.
5 And he shall kill the bullock before Jehovah: and Aaron's sons, the priests,
shall present the blood, and sprinkle the blood round about upon the altar that
is at the door of the tent of meeting.
6 And he shall flay the burnt-offering, and cut it into its pieces.
7 And the sons of Aaron the priest shall put fire upon the altar, and lay wood
in order upon the fire;
8 and Aaron's sons, the priests, shall lay the pieces, the head, and the fat, in
order upon the wood that is on the fire which is upon the altar:
9 but its inwards and its legs shall he wash with water. And the priest shall
burn the whole on the altar, for a burnt-offering, an offering made by fire, of
a sweet savor unto Jehovah.
10 And if his oblation be of the flock, of the sheep, or of the goats, for a
burnt-offering; he shall offer it a male without blemish.
11 And he shall kill it on the side of the altar northward before Jehovah: and
Aaron's sons, the priests, shall sprinkle its blood upon the altar round about.
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 which is upon the
altar:
13 but the inwards and the legs shall he wash with water. And the priest shall
offer the whole, and burn it upon the altar: it is a burnt-offering, an offering
made by fire, of a sweet savor unto Jehovah.
14 And if his oblation to Jehovah be a burnt-offering of birds, then he shall
offer his oblation of turtle-doves, or of young pigeons.
15 And the priest shall bring it unto the altar, and wring off its head, and
burn it on the altar; and the blood thereof shall be drained out on the side of
the altar;
16 and he shall take away its crop with the filth thereof, and cast it beside
the altar on the east part, in the place of the ashes:
17 and he shall rend it by the wings thereof, [but] shall not divide it asunder.
And the priest shall burn it upon the altar, upon the wood that is upon the
fire: it is a burnt-offering, an offering made by fire, of a sweet savor unto
Jehovah.
