The Burnt Offering
1Then the Lord summoned Moses # Ps 77:20; Mt 8:4; Heb 3:2 and spoke to him from the tent of meeting: # Ex 27:21 2“Speak to the Israelites and tell them: When any of you brings an offering to the Lord from the livestock, you # Or Lord, from the livestock you may bring your offering from the herd or the flock.
3“If his gift is a burnt offering # Gn 22:2; Lv 3:5 from the herd, he is to bring an unblemished male. # Ex 29:1 He must bring it to the entrance to the tent of meeting so that he # 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 sprinkle 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 must skin the burnt offering # Lv 7:8; 9:11; 2Ch 29:34 and cut it into pieces. # Lit its pieces 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 suet # Lv 1:12; 8:20 on top of the burning wood on the altar. 9The offerer must wash its entrails # Ex 12:9; 29:13,22; Lv 1:13; 3:3 and shanks # Ex 12:9; 29:17; Lv 1:13; 4:11; 8:21; 9:14; Am 3:12 with water. Then the priest will burn all of it on the altar as a burnt offering, a fire offering # Dt 18:1 of a pleasing aroma # Lv 2:2; 23:13 to the Lord.
10“But if his gift for a burnt offering is from the flock, from sheep or goats, # Lv 4:23 he is to present an unblemished male. 11He will slaughter it on the north side of the altar before the Lord. Aaron’s sons the priests will sprinkle its blood against the altar on all sides. 12He will cut the animal into pieces # Lit its pieces with its head and its suet, and the priest will arrange them on top of the burning wood on the altar. 13But he is to wash the entrails and shanks with water. The priest will then present all of it and burn it on the altar; it is a burnt offering, a fire offering of a pleasing aroma to the Lord.
14“If his gift to the Lord is a burnt offering of birds, # Gn 40:17; Lv 17:13 he is to present his offering from the turtledoves # Gn 15:9; Lv 1:14; 5:7,11; 12:6,8; 14:22,30; 15:14,29; Nm 6:10; Ps 74:19; Sg 2:12; Jr 8:7 or young pigeons. # Or or pigeons # Gn 8:8-12; Lv 5:7,11 15Then the priest must bring it to the altar, and must twist off its head and burn it on the altar; its blood should be drained at the side of the altar. 16He will remove its digestive tract, # Or its crop, or its crissum cutting off the tail feathers, and throw it on the east side of the altar at the place for ashes. # Lv 4:12; 6:10-11; 1Kg 13:3,5; Jr 31:40 17He will tear it open by its wings without dividing the bird. # Gn 15:9-10 Then the priest is to burn it on the altar on top of the burning wood. It is a burnt offering, a fire offering of a pleasing aroma to the Lord.

Leviticus 1
1
1The Lord called Moses and spoke to him from the tent of meeting. He said, 2“Tell the Israelites: If any of you bring a sacrifice to the Lord, you must offer an animal from your cattle, sheep, or goats.
Burnt Offerings of Cattle
3“If you bring a burnt offering from your cattle, you must offer a male that has no defects. Offer it at the entrance to the tent of meeting so that the Lord will accept you. 4Place your hand on the animal’s head. The burnt offering will be accepted to make peace with the Lord. 5Then slaughter the bull in the Lord’s presence. Aaron’s sons, the priests, will offer the blood. They will throw it against all sides of the altar that is at the entrance to the tent of meeting. 6Skin the burnt offering, and cut it into pieces. 7Then the sons of the priest Aaron will start a fire on the altar and lay the wood on the fire. 8Aaron’s sons, the priests, will also lay the pieces, the head, and the fat on top of the wood burning on the altar. 9Wash the internal organs and legs. Then the priest will burn all of it on the altar. It is a burnt offering, an offering by fire, a soothing aroma to the Lord.
Burnt Offerings of Sheep or Goats
10“If your offering is a sheep or goat, you must bring a male that has no defects. 11Slaughter it in the Lord’s presence on the north side of the altar. Aaron’s sons, the priests, will throw the blood against the altar on all sides. 12Then cut it into pieces. The priest will lay the head and the fat on the wood burning on the altar. 13Wash the internal organs and legs. Then the priest will burn all of it on the altar. It is a burnt offering, an offering by fire, a soothing aroma to the Lord.
Burnt Offerings of Birds
14“If your offering to the Lord is a bird, you must sacrifice a mourning dove or pigeon. 15The priest must bring it to the altar. He will break its neck and burn the bird on the altar. First, he will drain the blood against the side of the altar. 16Remove the gizzard with its filth and throw it on the east side of the altar on the place for the ashes. 17Then pull on the bird’s wings to tear the bird open, but don’t pull the wings off. Then the priest will lay the bird on the wood burning on the altar. It is a burnt offering, an offering by fire, a soothing aroma to the Lord.”
