1:1 The Lord summoned Moses and spoke to him from the tent of meeting, saying:
1:2 Speak to the people of Israel and say to them: When any of you bring an offering of livestock to the Lord, you shall bring your offering from the herd or from the flock.
1:3 If the offering is a burnt-offering from the herd, you shall offer a male without blemish; you shall bring it to the entrance of the tent of meeting, for acceptance in your behalf before the Lord.
1:4 You shall lay your hand on the head of the burnt-offering, and it shall be acceptable in your behalf as atonement for you.
1:5 The bull shall be slaughtered before the Lord; and Aaron’s sons the priests shall offer the blood, dashing the blood against all sides of the altar that is at the entrance of the tent of meeting.
1:6 The burnt-offering shall be flayed and cut up into its parts.
1:7 The sons of the priest Aaron shall put fire on the altar and arrange wood on the fire.
1:8 Aaron’s sons the priests shall arrange the parts, with the head and the suet, on the wood that is on the fire on the altar;
1:9 but its entrails and its legs shall be washed with water. Then the priest shall turn the whole into smoke on the altar as a burnt-offering, an offering by fire of pleasing odour to the Lord.
1:10 If your gift for a burnt-offering is from the flock, from the sheep or goats, your offering shall be a male without blemish.
1:11 It shall be slaughtered on the north side of the altar before the Lord, and Aaron’s sons the priests shall dash its blood against all sides of the altar.
1:12 It shall be cut up into its parts, with its head and its suet, and the priest shall arrange them on the wood that is on the fire on the altar;
1:13 but the entrails and the legs shall be washed with water. Then the priest shall offer the whole and turn it into smoke on the altar; it is a burnt-offering, an offering by fire of pleasing odour to the Lord.
1:14 If your offering to the Lord is a burnt-offering of birds, you shall choose your offering from turtle-doves or pigeons.
1:15 The priest shall bring it to the altar and wring off its head, and turn it into smoke on the altar; and its blood shall be drained out against the side of the altar.
1:16 He shall remove its crop with its contents and throw it at the east side of the altar, in the place for ashes.
1:17 He shall tear it open by its wings without severing it. Then the priest shall turn it into smoke on the altar, on the wood that is on the fire; it is a burnt-offering, an offering by fire of pleasing odour to the Lord.
