Leviticus 1

1 Then the LORD called to Moses and spoke to him from the Tent of Meeting, saying,

2 “Speak to the Israelites and tell them: When any of you brings an offering to the LORD, you may bring as your offering an animal from the herd or the flock.

3 If his offering is a burnt offering from the herd, he is to present an unblemished male. He must bring it to the entrance to the Tent of Meeting for its acceptance before the LORD.

4 He is to lay his hand on the head of the burnt offering, so it can be accepted on his behalf to make atonement for him.

5 And he shall slaughter the young bull before the LORD, and Aaron’s sons the priests are to present the blood and splatter it on all sides of the altar at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting.

6 Next, he is to skin the burnt offering and cut it into pieces.

7 The sons of Aaron the priest shall put a fire on the altar and arrange wood on the fire.

8 Then Aaron’s sons the priests are to arrange the pieces, including the head and the fat, atop the burning wood on the altar.

9 The entrails and legs must be washed with water, and the priest shall burn all of it on the altar as a burnt offering, a food offering, a pleasing aroma to the LORD.

10 If, however, one’s offering is a burnt offering from the flock—from the sheep or goats—he is to present an unblemished male.

11 He shall slaughter it on the north side of the altar before the LORD, and Aaron’s sons the priests are to splatter its blood against the altar on all sides.

12 He is to cut the animal into pieces, and the priest shall arrange them, including the head and fat, atop the burning wood that is on the altar.

13 The entrails and legs must be washed with water, and the priest shall present all of it and burn it on the altar; it is a burnt offering, a food offering, a pleasing aroma to the LORD.

14 If, instead, one’s offering to the LORD is a burnt offering of birds, he is to present a turtledove or a young pigeon.

15 Then the priest shall bring it to the altar, twist off its head, and burn it on the altar; its blood should be drained out on the side of the altar.

16 And he is to remove the crop with its contents and throw it to the east side of the altar, in the place for ashes.

17 He shall tear it open by its wings, without dividing the bird completely. And the priest is to burn it on the altar atop the burning wood. It is a burnt offering, a food offering, a pleasing aroma to the LORD.

1 ¶ And the LORD called unto Moses, and spake unto him out of the tabernacle of the congregation, saying,

2 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, If any man of you bring an offering unto the LORD, ye shall bring your offering of the cattle, [even] of the herd, and of the flock.

3 ¶ If his offering [be] a burnt sacrifice of the herd, let him offer a male without blemish: he shall offer it of his own voluntary will at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation before the LORD.

4 And he shall put 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 the LORD: and the priests, Aaron's sons, shall bring the blood, and sprinkle the blood round about upon the altar that [is by] the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.

6 And he shall flay the burnt offering, and cut it into his pieces.

7 And the sons of Aaron the priest shall put fire upon the altar, and lay the wood in order upon the fire:

8 And the priests, Aaron's sons, shall lay the parts, the head, and the fat, in order upon the wood that [is] on the fire which [is] upon the altar:

9 But 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 savour unto the LORD.

10 ¶ And if his offering [be] of the flocks, [namely], of the sheep, or of the goats, for a burnt sacrifice; he shall bring it a male without blemish.

11 And he shall kill it on the side of the altar northward before the LORD: and the priests, Aaron's sons, shall sprinkle his blood round about upon the altar.

12 And 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] upon the altar:

13 But he shall wash the inwards and the legs with water: and the priest shall bring [it] all, and burn [it] upon the altar: it [is] a burnt sacrifice, an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the LORD.

14 And if the burnt sacrifice for his offering to the LORD [be] of fowls, then he shall bring his offering of turtledoves, or of young pigeons.

15 And the priest shall bring it unto the altar, and wring off his head, and burn [it] on the altar; and the blood thereof shall be wrung out at the side of the altar:

16 And 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:

17 And he shall cleave it with 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 sacrifice, an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the LORD.

1 And the LORD called Moses, and spake unto him of the tabernacle of the congregation, and said:

2 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them: Whosoever of you will offer an offering unto the LORD, let him do it of the cattle, of the herds, and of the flocks.

3 And if he offer a burnt offering of oxen, then he shall offer a male without change at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, that it may be acceptable unto the LORD from him,

4 And lay his hand upon the head of the burnt offering, and it shall be acceptable unto him, and make an atonement for him.

5 And he shall kill the young ox before the LORD: and the sons of Aaron the priests shall bring the blood, and sprinkle it round about upon the altar that is before the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.

6 And the skin of the burnt offering shall be flayed, and it shall be cut in pieces.

7 And the sons of Aaron the priest shall make a fire upon the altar, and put wood upon it;

8 And they shall put the pieces, even the head, and the fat, upon the wood that is upon thy fire upon the altar.

9 And the inwards and the thighs shall be washed in water, and the priest shall burn them upon the altar for a burnt offering. This is a fire for a sweet savour unto the LORD.

10 But if he offer a burnt offering of sheep or goats, he shall offer a male without change.

11 And he shall slay it at the side of the altar northward before the LORD. And the priests, Aaron's sons, shall sprinkle his blood upon the altar round about.

12 And it shall be cut in pieces. And the priest shall lay the head and the fat upon the wood and fire that is upon the altar.

13 And the inwards and the thighs shall be washed in water. And the priest shall offer them all, and burn them upon the altar for a burnt offering. This is a fire for a sweet savour unto the LORD.

14 And if he offer a burnt offering of birds unto the LORD, let him offer it of turtledoves, or of young pigeons.

15 And the priest shall bring it unto the altar, and pinch off his head, that it may be burned upon the altar, and bleed his blood upon the wall of the altar.

16 And his crop with his feathers shall be cast beside the altar toward the east upon the ash heap.

17 And he shall cleave his wings, but not break them. And so shall the priest burn it upon the altar, upon the wood that is upon the fire, for a burnt offering. This is a fire for a sweet savour unto the LORD.
