Chapter 1
1Then AO called Moses to him and spoke from the Tent of Meeting saying,
2“Speak to the Israelites and tell them: When any of you brings an offering to AO, you may bring an animal from the herd or the flock.
3If [one’s] offering is a burnt offering, he is to present an unblemished male from the herd. He must bring it to the entrance to the Tent of Meeting for its acceptance before AO.
4He is to lay his hand on the head of the burnt offering so it can be accepted on his behalf to make atonement for him.
5And he shall slaughter the young bull before AO and Aaron’s sons the priests are to present the blood and sprinkle it on all sides of the altar at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting.
6Next, he is to skin the burnt offering and cut it into pieces.
7The sons of Aaron the priest shall put a fire on the altar and arrange wood on the fire.
8Then Aaron’s sons the priests are to arrange the pieces including the head and the fat atop the burning wood on the altar.
9The entrails and legs must be washed with water and the priest shall burn all of it on the altar as a burnt offering, an offering made by fire, a pleasing aroma to AO.
10If, however, one’s offering is a burnt offering from the flock—from the sheep or goats—he is to present an unblemished male.
11He shall slaughter it on the north side of the altar before AO and Aaron’s sons the priests are to sprinkle its blood against the altar on all sides.
12He is to cut [the animal] into pieces including the head and fat and the priest shall arrange them atop the burning wood that [is] on the altar.
13The entrails and legs must be washed with water and the priest shall bring all of it and burn [it] on the altar; it is a burnt offering, an offering made by fire, a pleasing aroma to AO.
14If, instead one’s offering to AO is a burnt offering of birds, he is to present a turtledove or a young pigeon.
15Then the priest shall bring it to the altar, twist off its head and burn it on the altar; its blood should be drained out on the side of the altar.
16And he is to remove the crop with its contents and throw it to the east side of the altar in the place of ashes.
17He shall tear it open by its wings without dividing [the bird] completely. And the priest is to burn it on the altar atop the burning wood. It is a burnt offering, an offering made by fire, a pleasing aroma to AO.[”]
