Vayikra 1
1
1And Hashem spoke unto Moshe, and spoke unto him out of the Ohel Mo'ed (Tent of Meeting)#1:1 i.e., Tabernacle saying,
2Speak unto the Bnei Yisroel, and say unto them, If any man of you bring a korban unto Hashem, ye shall bring your korban of the cattle, even of the herd, and of the flock.
3If his korban be an olah (burnt sacrifice) of the herd, let him offer a zachar tamim (male without blemish); he shall offer it that he may be accepted at the entrance of the Ohel Mo'ed before Hashem.
4And he shall lay his hand upon the head of the olah (burnt offering); and it shall be accepted for him to make kapporah for him.
5And he shall slaughter (shachat) the young bull before Hashem; and the kohanim, Aharonʼs banim, shall bring the dahm, and sprinkle the dahm around upon the Mizbe'ach that is by the entrance of the Ohel Mo'ed.
6And he shall skin the olah, and cut it into pieces.
7And the Bnei Aharon the kohen shall put eish upon the Mizbe'ach, and lay the wood in order upon the eish;
8And the kohanim, Aharonʼs banim, shall lay the parts, the head, and the fat, in order upon the wood that is on the eish which is upon the Mizbe'ach:
9But his innards and his legs shall he wash in mayim; and the kohen shall burn the whole on the Mizbe'ach, to be an olah, an offering made by eish, of a re'ach nicho'ach (sweet savour) unto Hashem.
10And if his korban be of the flocks, namely, of the sheep, or of the goats, for an olah (burnt offering); he shall bring it a zachar tamim (male without blemish).
11And he shall slaughter (shachat) it on the side of the Mizbe'ach northward before Hashem: and the kohanim, Aharonʼs banim, shall sprinkle his dahm around upon the Mizbe'ach.
12And he shall cut it into pieces, with his head and his fat; and the kohen shall lay them in order on the wood that is on the eish which is upon the Mizbe'ach:
13But he shall wash the innards and the legs with mayim; and the kohen shall bring the whole, and burn it upon the Mizbe'ach: it is an olah, an offering made by eish, of a re'ach nicho'ach (sweet savour) unto Hashem.
14And if the olah for his korban to Hashem be of fowls, then he shall bring his korban of turtledoves, or of young pigeons.
15And the kohen shall bring it unto the Mizbe'ach, and wring off his head, and burn it on the Mizbe'ach; and the dahm thereof shall be pressed out at the side of the Mizbe'ach:
16And he shall pluck away his crop with his feathers, and cast it beside the Mizbe'ach on the east side, by the place of the ashes:
17And he shall tear it open with the wings thereof, but shall not tear it in half; and the kohen shall burn it upon the Mizbe'ach, upon the wood that is upon the eish; it is an olah, an offering made by eish, of a re'ach nicho'ach (sweet savour) unto Hashem.

Sacrifices Burned Whole
1The Lord called to Moses from the Tent of the Lord's presence and gave him the following rules 2for the Israelites to observe when they offer their sacrifices.
When you offer an animal sacrifice, it may be one of your cattle or one of your sheep or goats. 3If you are offering one of your cattle as a burnt offering, you must bring a bull without any defects. You must present it at the entrance of the Tent of the Lord's presence so that the Lord will accept you. 4You shall put your hand on its head, and it will be accepted as a sacrifice to take away your sins. 5You shall kill the bull there, and the Aaronite priests shall present the blood to the Lord and then throw it against all four sides of the altar located at the entrance of the Tent. 6Then you shall skin the animal and cut it up, 7and the priests shall arrange firewood on the altar and light it. 8They shall put on the fire the pieces of the animal, including the head and the fat. 9You must wash the internal organs and the hind legs, and the officiating priest will burn the whole sacrifice on the altar. The odor of this food offering is pleasing to the Lord.
10If you are offering one of your sheep or goats, it must be a male without any defects. 11You shall kill it on the north side of the altar, and the priests shall throw its blood on all four sides of the altar. 12After you cut it up, the officiating priest shall put on the fire all the parts, including the head and the fat. 13You must wash the internal organs and the hind legs, and the priest will present the sacrifice to the Lord and burn all of it on the altar. The odor of this food offering is pleasing to the Lord.
14If you are offering a bird as a burnt offering, it must be a dove or a pigeon. 15The priest shall present it at the altar, wring its neck, and burn its head on the altar. Its blood shall be drained out against the side of the altar. 16He shall remove the crop and its contents and throw them away on the east side of the altar where the ashes are put. 17He shall take hold of its wings and tear its body open, without tearing the wings off, and then burn it whole on the altar. The odor of this food offering is pleasing to the Lord.
