Leviticus 1–3

1^*And the Lord ^acalled unto Moses, and spake unto him ^bout of the tabernacle of the congregation, saying, ²Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, ^cIf any man of you bring an offering unto the Lord, ye shall bring your offering of the cattle, even of the herd, and of the flock. ³If his offering be a burnt sacrifice of the herd, let him offer a male ^dwithout blemish: he shall offer it of his own voluntary will at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation before the Lord. ^4eAnd he shall put his hand upon the head of the burnt offering; and it shall be ^faccepted for him ^gto make atonement for him. ⁵And he shall kill the bullock before the Lord: and the priests, Aaron’s sons, shall bring the blood, ^hand sprinkle the blood round about upon the altar that is by the door of the tabernacle of the congregation. ⁶And he shall ^hflay the burnt offering, and cut it into his ⁱpieces. ⁷And the sons of Aaron the priest shall put fire upon the altar, and ^jlay the wood in order upon the fire: ⁸And the priests, Aaron’s sons, shall lay ⁱthe parts, the head, and ^kthe fat, in order upon the wood that is on the fire which is upon the altar: ⁹But ^lhis inwards and his legs shall he wash in water: and the priest shall burn all on the altar, to be a burnt sacrifice, ^man offering made by fire, of a ⁿsweet savour unto the Lord. ¹⁰And if his offering be of the flocks, namely, of the sheep, or of the goats, for a burnt sacrifice; he shall bring it a male without blemish. ^11oAnd he shall kill it on the side of the altar northward before the Lord: and the priests, Aaron’s sons, shall sprinkle his blood round about upon the altar. ¹²And he shall cut it into his ⁱpieces, with his head and his fat: and the priest shall lay them in order on the wood that is on the fire which is upon the altar: ¹³But he shall wash the inwards and the legs with water: and the priest shall bring it all, and burn it upon the altar: it is a burnt sacrifice, an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the Lord. ¹⁴And if the burnt sacrifice for his offering to the Lord be of fowls, then he shall bring his offering of ^pturtledoves, or of young pigeons. ¹⁵And the priest shall bring it unto the altar, and ^||wring off his head, and burn it on the altar; and the blood thereof shall be wrung out at the side of the altar: ¹⁶And he shall pluck away his crop with ^||his feathers, and cast it ^qbeside the altar on the east part, by the place of the ashes: ¹⁷And he shall cleave it with the wings thereof, but ^rshall not divide it asunder: and the priest shall burn it upon the altar, upon the wood that is upon the fire: ^sit is a burnt sacrifice, an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the Lord.

2And when any will offer ^aa meat offering unto the Lord, his offering shall be of fine flour; and he shall pour oil upon it, and put frankincense thereon: ²And he shall bring it to Aaron’s sons the priests: and he shall take thereout his handful of the flour thereof, and of the oil thereof, with all the frankincense thereof; and the priest shall burn ^bthe memorial of it upon the altar, to be an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the Lord: ³And ^cthe remnant of the meat offering shall be Aaron’s and his sons’: it is a thing ^dmost holy of the offerings of the Lord made by fire. ⁴And if thou bring an oblation of a meat offering baken in the oven, it shall be ^eunleavened cakes of fine flour mingled with oil, or unleavened wafers anointed with oil. ⁵And if thy oblation be a meat offering baken ^||in a pan, it shall be of fine flour unleavened, mingled with oil. ⁶Thou shalt part it in pieces, and pour oil thereon: it is a meat offering. ⁷And if thy oblation be a meat offering baken ^fin the fryingpan, it shall be made of fine flour with oil. ⁸And thou shalt bring the meat offering that is made of these things unto the Lord: and when it is presented unto the priest, he shall bring it unto the altar. ⁹And the priest shall take from the meat offering ^ga memorial thereof, and shall burn it upon the altar: it is an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the Lord. ¹⁰And ^hthat which is left of the meat offering shall be Aaron’s and his sons’: it is a thing most holy of the offerings of the Lord made by fire. ¹¹No meat offering, which ye shall bring unto the Lord, shall be made with ⁱleaven: for ye shall burn no leaven, nor any honey, in any offering of the Lord made by fire. ^12kAs for the oblation of the firstfruits, ye shall offer them unto the Lord: but they shall not ^†be burnt on the altar for a sweet savour. ¹³And every oblation of thy meat offering ^lshalt thou season with salt; neither shalt thou suffer ^mthe salt of the covenant of thy God to be lacking from thy meat offering: ⁿwith all thine offerings thou shalt offer salt. ¹⁴And if thou offer a meat offering of thy firstfruits unto the Lord, thou shalt offer for the meat offering of thy firstfruits green ears of corn ^odried by the fire, even corn beaten out of ^pfull ears. ¹⁵And ^qthou shalt put oil upon it, and lay frankincense thereon: it is a meat offering. ¹⁶And the priest shall burn ^rthe memorial of it, part of the beaten corn thereof, and part of the oil thereof, with all the frankincense thereof: it is an offering made by fire unto the Lord.

3And if his oblation be a ^asacrifice of peace offering, if he offer it of the herd; whether it be a male or female, he shall offer it ^bwithout blemish before the Lord. ²And ^che shall lay his hand upon the head of his offering, and kill it at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation: and Aaron’s sons the priests shall sprinkle the blood upon the altar round about. ³And he shall offer of the sacrifice of the peace offering an offering made by fire unto the Lord; ^dthe ^||fat that covereth the inwards, and all the ^||fat that is upon the inwards, ⁴And the two kidneys, and the fat that is on them, which is by the flanks, and the ^||caul above the liver, with the kidneys, it shall he take away. ⁵And Aaron’s sons ^eshall burn it on the altar upon the burnt sacrifice, which is upon the wood that is on the fire: it is an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the Lord. ⁶And if his offering for a sacrifice of peace offering unto the Lord be of the flock; male or female, ^fhe shall offer it without blemish. ⁷If he offer a lamb for his offering, then shall he offer it before the Lord. ⁸And he shall lay his hand upon the head of his offering, and kill it before the tabernacle of the congregation: and Aaron’s sons shall sprinkle the blood thereof round about upon the altar. ⁹And he shall offer of the sacrifice of the peace offering an offering made by fire unto the Lord; the fat thereof, and ^gthe whole rump, it shall he take off hard by the backbone; and the fat that covereth the inwards, and all the fat that is upon the inwards, ¹⁰And the two kidneys, and the fat that is upon them, which is by the flanks, and the caul above the liver, with the kidneys, it shall he take away. ¹¹And the priest shall burn it upon the altar: it is ^hthe food of the offering made by fire unto the Lord. ¹²And if his offering be a goat, then ⁱhe shall offer it before the Lord. ¹³And he shall lay his hand upon the head of it, and kill it before the tabernacle of the congregation: and the sons of Aaron shall sprinkle the blood thereof upon the altar round about. ¹⁴And he shall offer thereof his offering, even an offering made by fire unto the Lord; the fat that covereth the inwards, and all the fat that is upon the inwards, ¹⁵And the two kidneys, and the fat that is upon them, which is by the flanks, and the caul above the liver, with the kidneys, it shall he take away. ¹⁶And the priest shall burn them upon the altar: it is the food of the offering made by fire for a sweet savour: ^kall the fat is the Lord’s. ¹⁷It shall be a ^lperpetual statute for your generations throughout all your dwellings, that ye eat neither ^kfat nor ^mblood.
