Leviticus 1:2–9

²“Speak to the Israelites and tell them: When any of you brings an offering to the Lord from the livestock, you may bring your offering from the herd or the flock.

³“If his offering is a burnt offering^c from the herd, he is to bring an unblemished male.^d He will bring it to the entrance to the tent of meeting so that he^A may be accepted by the Lord.^{e 4}He is to lay his hand on^f the head of the burnt offering so it can be accepted^g on his behalf to make atonement for him.^{h 5}He is to slaughter the bull before the Lord; Aaron’s sons the priestsⁱ are to present the blood^j and splatter it^k on all sides of the altar that is at the entrance to the tent of meeting. ⁶Then he is to skin the burnt offering^l and cut it into 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 fat^m on top of the burning wood on the altar. ⁹The offerer is to wash its entrailsⁿ and legs^o with water. Then the priest will burn all of it on the altar as a burnt offering, a food offering of^p a pleasing aroma^q to the Lord.
