“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.” (Le 1:1-17 AV)
