Leviticus 1

1Yahweh called to Moses and spoke to him from the tent of meeting, saying.

2Speak to the Israelites and say to them, "When anyone among you brings an offering to Yahweh from the livestock—from the herd and from the flock—you shall bring your offering."

3If his offering is a burnt offering from the herd, he shall bring a male without blemish to the entrance of the tent of meeting and present it for his acceptance before Yahweh.

4He shall place his hand on the head of the burnt offering, and it shall be accepted for him to make atonement for him.

5He shall slaughter the bull before Yahweh, and Aaron's sons, the priests, shall bring the blood and sprinkle the blood all around on the altar at the entrance to the tent of meeting.

6He shall skin the burnt offering and cut it into its pieces.

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

8Aaron's sons, the priests, shall arrange the pieces, the head, and the fat on the wood that is on the fire that is on the altar.

9Its entrails and legs shall be washed with water, and the priest shall burn all of it on the altar—a burnt offering, a fire offering, a pleasing aroma to Yahweh.

10If his offering is from the flock—from the sheep or the goats—for a burnt offering, he shall offer a male without blemish.

11He shall slaughter it on the northern flank of the altar before Yahweh, and Aaron's sons, the priests, shall sprinkle its blood all around on the altar.

12He cuts it into its pieces with its head and its fat, and the priest arranges them on the wood over the fire on the altar.

13He shall wash the entrails and the legs with water, and the priest shall present everything and burn it on the altar. It is a burnt offering, a fire offering, a soothing aroma to Yahweh.

14But if from the birds is his burnt offering to Yahweh, he shall bring his offering from turtledoves or from young pigeons.

15The priest shall bring it to the altar, wring off its head, and burn it on the altar; and its blood shall drain out on the side of the altar.

16And he shall remove its crop with its feathers and throw it beside the altar on the east, to the place of the ashes.

17He shall split it open along its wings without dividing it, and the priest shall burn it on the altar atop the wood on the fire: it is a burnt offering, a fire offering, a pleasing aroma to Yahweh.
