- 1
- THE LORD called unto Moses, and spoke 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 bringeth an offering unto the LORD, ye shall bring your offering of the cattle, even of the herd or of the flock.
- 3
- If his offering be a burnt-offering of the herd, he shall offer it a male without blemish;
he shall bring it to the door of the tent of meeting, that he may be accepted before the LORD.
- 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 the LORD;
and Aaron"s sons, the priests, shall present the blood, and dash the blood round about against 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, and the head, and the suet, 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 make the whole smoke on the altar, for a burnt-offering, an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the LORD.
- 10
- And if his offering be of the flock, whether 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 the LORD;
and Aaron"s sons, the priests, shall dash its blood against the altar round about.
- 12
- And he shall cut it into its pieces;
and the priest shall lay them, with its head and its suet, 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 make it smoke upon the altar;
it is a burnt-offering, an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the LORD.
- 14
- And if his offering to the LORD be a burnt-offering of fowls, then he shall bring his offering of turtle-doves, or of young pigeons.
- 15
- And the priest shall bring it unto the altar, and pinch off its head, and make it smoke 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 feathers 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 make it smoke upon the altar, upon the wood that is upon the fire;
it is a burnt-offering, an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the LORD.
