Leviticus 1
1
Offerings Without Defect
1Now Adonai called to Moses and spoke to him out of the Tent of Meeting, saying:
2“Speak to Bnei-Yisrael, and tell them: When anyone of you brings an offering to Adonai, you may present your offering of livestock, from the herd or from the flock.
3“If his sacrifice is a burnt offering from the herd, he is to present a male without blemish. He is to offer it at the entrance of the Tent of Meeting, so that he may be accepted before Adonai.
4He is to lay his hand on the head of the burnt offering, so that it will be accepted for him to make atonement on his behalf.
5He is to slaughter the bull before Adonai. Then Aaron’s sons, the kohanim, are to present the blood and splash it around on the altar that is at the entrance of the Tent of Meeting.
6He is to skin the burnt offering and cut it into pieces.
7The sons of Aaron the kohen are to place fire on the altar and arrange wood upon the fire.
8Then Aaron’s sons, the kohanim, shall arrange the pieces, the head, and the fat upon the wood that is on the fire which is atop the altar.
9But its innards and its legs he is to wash with water. The kohen should burn it all up as smoke on the altar, for a burnt offering made by fire—a soothing aroma to Adonai.
10“If his sacrifice is from the flock, from the sheep or from the goats, for a burnt offering, he shall bring a male without blemish.
11He is to slaughter it on the north side of the altar before Adonai. Aaron’s sons, the kohanim, are to splash its blood around on the altar.
12He is to cut it into pieces, with its head and its fat. The kohen shall then arrange them upon the wood that is on the fire that is atop the altar,
13but the innards and the legs he is to wash with water. The kohen is to offer it all, and burn it on the altar. It is a burnt offering, made by fire—a soothing aroma to Adonai.
14“If his sacrifice to Adonai is a burnt offering of birds, then he shall bring his offering of turtledoves or young pigeons.
15The kohen is to bring it to the altar, wring off its head, and burn it on the altar. Then its blood is to be drained out on the side of the altar.
16Also he is to cut out its digestive tract with its filth, and cast it beside the altar on the east side, into the place of the fat ashes.
17He shall tear it by its wings, but not divide it up. The kohen shall burn it upon the altar, on the wood that is on the fire. It is a burnt offering, made by fire—a soothing aroma to Adonai.

Laws for Burnt Offerings
1Then#Or “And” Yahweh called to Moses and spoke to him from the tent of assembly, saying, 2“Speak to the Israelites,#Literally “sons/children of Israel” and say to them, ‘When a person#Or “man”—the singular noun is generic, thus the “you” and “your” in the remainder of the verse are all plural from you presents an offering to Yahweh, you shall present your offering from domestic animals, from the cattle#Or “herd” or from the flock.#The Hebrew term refers collectively to both sheep and goats (small livestock animals) 3If his offering is a burnt offering from the cattle,#Or “herd” then he must present#Hebrew “present it” an unblemished male; he must present it at the door of the tent of assembly for his acceptance before#Literally “to the face of” Yahweh.
4“ ‘He#Or “And he” must lay his hand on the head of the burnt offering and it will be accepted#Same root word as “acceptance” in v. 3 for him in order to make atonement for him. 5He#Or “And he” must slaughter the young bull#Literally “the son of the herd” or “the son of the cattle” before#Literally “to the face of” Yahweh, then#Or “and” Aaron’s sons, the priests, will present the blood and sprinkle the blood all around the altar that is at the door of the tent of assembly. 6Then#Or “And” he must remove the skin of the burnt offering and cut it into its pieces. 7The sons of#Or “And the sons of” Aaron the priest will put fire on the altar and arrange the wood on the fire. 8Then#Or “And” Aaron’s sons, the priests, will arrange the pieces of meat,#Verse 6 in the context uses the same word with reference to the meat the head, and the suet on the wood that is on the fire that is on the altar. 9Then#Or “And” he must wash its inner parts#Or “entrails” and its lower leg bones with water, and the priest will turn into smoke the whole animal on the altar as a burnt offering by fire, as an appeasing fragrance for Yahweh.
10“ ‘But if his offering is from the flock,#The Hebrew term refers collectively to both sheep and goats (small livestock animals) from the sheep or from the goats for a burnt offering, he must present#Hebrew “present it” an unblemished#Same word as in v. 3 male. 11He#Or “And he” must slaughter it on the north side of the altar before#Literally “to the face of” Yahweh; then#Or “and” Aaron’s sons, the priests, will sprinkle its blood all around the altar. 12Then#Or “And” he must cut it into pieces along with its head and its suet; and the priest will arrange them on the wood that is on the fire that is on the altar. 13Then#Or “And” he must wash the inner parts#Or “entrails” and the lower leg bones with water and the priest shall present the whole animal and will turn it#Understood direct object into smoke on the altar; it is a burnt offering by fire as an appeasing fragrance for Yahweh.
14“ ‘But if his offering for Yahweh is a burnt offering from the birds, then he must present his offering from the turtledoves or from the young doves.#Literally “the sons of the dove” 15The priest#Or “And the priest” will present it at the altar and must wring off its head and turn it into smoke on the altar, and its blood will be drained out on the wall#Or “side” of the altar. 16He#Or “And he” must remove its crop with its plumage and throw it to the east beside the altar on the place of the fatty ashes. 17Then#Or “And” he must tear it apart by its wings but must not sever it; then#Or “and” the priest will turn it into smoke on the altar. It is a burnt offering by fire as an appeasing fragrance for Yahweh.’ ”
