3“If his offering is a burnt offering#Gn 22:2; Lv 3:5 from the herd, he is to bring an unblemished male.#Ex 29:1 He will bring it to the entrance to the tent of meeting so that he#1:3 Or it may be accepted by the Lord.#Lv 19:5; Heb 9:14; 1Pt 1:19 4He is to lay his hand on#Ex 29:10; Lv 3:2; 8:14,18,22; 16:21; Nm 8:10,12 the head of the burnt offering so it can be accepted#Gn 33:10; Lv 7:18; 19:7; 22:23,25,27 on his behalf to make atonement for him.#Ex 30:15 5He is to slaughter the bull before the Lord; Aaron’s sons the priests#Lv 4:16 are to present the blood#Heb 9:12 and splatter it#Ex 24:6; 29:16,20 on all sides of the altar that is at the entrance to the tent of meeting. 6Then he is to skin the burnt offering#Lv 7:8; 9:11; 2Ch 29:34 and cut it into pieces.#1:6 Lit its pieces, also in v. 12 7The sons of Aaron the priest will prepare a fire on the altar and arrange wood on the fire. 8Aaron’s sons the priests are to arrange the pieces, the head, and the fat#Lv 1:12; 8:20 on top of the burning wood on the altar. 9The offerer is to wash its entrails#Ex 12:9; 29:13,22; Lv 1:13; 3:3 and legs#Ex 12:9; 29:17; Lv 1:13; 4:11; 8:21; 9:14; Am 3:12 with water.

The Burnt Offering
1The Lord called to Moses and spoke to him from the tent of meeting. He said, 2“Speak to the Israelites and say to them: ‘When anyone among you brings an offering to the Lord, bring as your offering an animal from either the herd or the flock.
3“ ‘If the offering is a burnt offering from the herd, you are to offer a male without defect. You must present it at the entrance to the tent of meeting so that it will be acceptable to the Lord. 4You are to lay your hand on the head of the burnt offering, and it will be accepted on your behalf to make atonement for you. 5You are to slaughter the young bull before the Lord, and then Aaron’s sons the priests shall bring the blood and splash it against the sides of the altar at the entrance to the tent of meeting. 6You are to skin the burnt offering and cut it into pieces. 7The sons of Aaron the priest are to put fire on the altar and arrange wood on the fire. 8Then Aaron’s sons the priests shall arrange the pieces, including the head and the fat, on the wood that is burning on the altar. 9You are to wash the internal organs and the legs with water, and the priest is to burn all of it on the altar. It is a burnt offering, a food offering, an aroma pleasing to the Lord.
10“ ‘If the offering is a burnt offering from the flock, from either the sheep or the goats, you are to offer a male without defect. 11You are to slaughter it at the north side of the altar before the Lord, and Aaron’s sons the priests shall splash its blood against the sides of the altar. 12You are to cut it into pieces, and the priest shall arrange them, including the head and the fat, on the wood that is burning on the altar. 13You are to wash the internal organs and the legs with water, and the priest is to bring all of them and burn them on the altar. It is a burnt offering, a food offering, an aroma pleasing to the Lord.
14“ ‘If the offering to the Lord is a burnt offering of birds, you are to offer a dove or a young pigeon. 15The priest shall bring it to the altar, wring off the head and burn it on the altar; its blood shall be drained out on the side of the altar. 16He is to remove the crop and the feathers#1:16 Or crop with its contents; the meaning of the Hebrew for this word is uncertain. and throw them down east of the altar where the ashes are. 17He shall tear it open by the wings, not dividing it completely, and then the priest shall burn it on the wood that is burning on the altar. It is a burnt offering, a food offering, an aroma pleasing to the Lord.
