The burnt offering

The Lord called to Moses and spoke to him from the tent of meeting: 'Speak to the Israelites and tell them: When any of you brings an offering to the Lord, bring it from the cattle — from the herd or the flock.' 'If the offering is a burnt sacrifice from the herd, bring a male without defect. Bring it willingly to the door of the tent of meeting before the Lord.' 'Lay your hand on the head of the burnt offering, and it will be accepted on your behalf to make atonement for you.' He will kill the young bull before the Lord. And the priests, Aaron's sons, will bring the blood and sprinkle the blood around the altar that's by the door of the tent of meeting. He will skin the burnt offering and cut it into its pieces. The sons of Aaron the priest will put fire on the altar and lay wood in order on the fire. The priests, Aaron's sons, will lay the pieces in order, the head and the fat, on the wood that's on the fire on the altar. But he will wash its internal organs and its legs in water. And the priest will burn the lot on the altar, a burnt offering, an offering made by fire, a pleasing aroma to the Lord. If his offering is of the flock, of the sheep or of the goats, for a burnt offering, he will bring a male without defect. He will kill it on the north side of the altar before the Lord. And the priests, Aaron's sons, will sprinkle its blood around the altar. He will cut it into its pieces, with its head and its fat. And the priest will lay them in order on the wood that's on the fire on the altar. But he will wash the internal organs and the legs with water. And the priest will bring the lot and burn it on the altar. It is a burnt offering, an offering made by fire, a pleasing aroma to the Lord. If the burnt offering for his offering to the Lord is of birds, then he will bring his offering of turtledoves or of young pigeons. The priest will bring it to the altar and wring its head off and burn it on the altar. And its blood will be drained out at the side of the altar. He will take away its crop with its feathers and throw it beside the altar on the east side, by the place of the ashes. He will split it at its wings, but not divide it in two. And the priest will burn it on the altar, on the wood that's on the fire. It is a burnt offering, an offering made by fire, a pleasing aroma to the Lord.

And the Lord called to Moses and spoke to him out of the tent of meeting: Speak to the people of Israel and say to them: When any of you brings an offering to the Lord, you'll bring your offering from the cattle, from the herd or from the flock. If his offering is a burnt offering of the herd, he'll bring a male without fault. He'll bring it of his own will to the door of the tent of meeting in front of the Lord. And he'll lay his hand on the head of the burnt offering, and it'll be accepted for him to cover him over. And he'll kill the young bull in front of the Lord. And the priests, Aaron's sons, will bring the blood and throw the blood round on the altar that's by the door of the tent of meeting. And he'll skin the burnt offering and cut it into its pieces. And the sons of Aaron the priest will put fire on the altar and lay wood in order on the fire. And the priests, Aaron's sons, will lay the pieces in order, the head and the fat, on the wood that's on the fire on the altar. But he'll wash its insides and its legs in water. And the priest will burn the lot on the altar, a burnt offering, an offering made by fire, a pleasing smell to the Lord. And if his offering is of the flock, of the sheep or of the goats, for a burnt offering, he'll bring a male without fault. And he'll kill it on the north side of the altar in front of the Lord. And the priests, Aaron's sons, will throw its blood round on the altar. And he'll cut it into its pieces, with its head and its fat. And the priest will lay them in order on the wood that's on the fire on the altar. But he'll wash the insides and the legs with water. And the priest will bring the lot and burn it on the altar. It's a burnt offering, an offering made by fire, a pleasing smell to the Lord. And if the burnt offering for his offering to the Lord is of birds, then he'll bring his offering of turtledoves or of young pigeons. And the priest will bring it to the altar and wring its head off and burn it on the altar. And its blood will be drained out at the side of the altar. And he'll take away its crop with its feathers and throw it beside the altar on the east side, by the place of the ashes. And he'll split it at its wings, but not divide it in two. And the priest will burn it on the altar, on the wood that's on the fire. It's a burnt offering, an offering made by fire, a pleasing smell to the Lord.

And the LORD called unto Moses, and spake unto him out of the tabernacle of the congregation, saying, 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. 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. 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. 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. And he shall flay the burnt offering, and cut it into his pieces. And the sons of Aaron the priest shall put fire upon the altar, and lay the wood in order upon the fire: 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: 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. 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. 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. 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: 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. 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. 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: 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: 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.
