Leviticus 1:2–17

²“Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them: ^c‘When any one of you brings an offering to the Lord, you shall bring your offering of the livestock—of the herd and of the flock.

³‘If his offering is a burnt sacrifice of the herd, let him offer a male ^dwithout blemish; he shall offer it of his own free will at the door of the tabernacle of meeting before the Lord. ^4eThen he shall put his hand on the head of the burnt offering, and it will be ^faccepted on his behalf ^gto make atonement for him. ⁵He shall kill the ^hbull before the Lord; ⁱand the priests, Aaron’s sons, shall bring the blood ^jand sprinkle the blood all around on the altar that is by the door of the tabernacle of meeting. ⁶And he shall ^kskin the burnt offering and cut it into its pieces. ⁷The sons of Aaron the priest shall put ^lfire on the altar, and ^mlay the wood in order on the fire. ⁸Then the priests, Aaron’s sons, shall lay the parts, the head, and the fat in order on the wood that is on the fire upon the altar; ⁹but he shall wash its entrails and its legs with water. And the priest shall burn all on the altar as a burnt sacrifice, an offering made by fire, a ⁿsweet ¹aroma to the Lord.

¹⁰‘If his offering is of the flocks—of the sheep or of the goats—as a burnt sacrifice, he shall bring a male ^owithout blemish. ^11pHe shall kill it on the north side of the altar before the Lord; and the priests, Aaron’s sons, shall sprinkle its blood all around on the altar. ¹²And he shall cut it into its pieces, with its head and its fat; and the priest shall lay them in order on the wood that is on the fire upon the altar; ¹³but he shall wash the entrails and the legs with water. Then the priest shall bring it all and burn it on the altar; it is a burnt sacrifice, an ^qoffering made by fire, a sweet aroma to the Lord.

¹⁴‘And if the burnt sacrifice of his offering to the Lord is of birds, then he shall bring his offering of ^rturtledoves or young pigeons. ¹⁵The priest shall bring it to the altar, ²wring off its head, and burn it on the altar; its blood shall be drained out at the side of the altar. ¹⁶And he shall remove its crop with its feathers and cast it ^sbeside the altar on the east side, into the place for ashes. ¹⁷Then he shall split it at its wings, but ^tshall not divide it completely; and the priest shall burn it on the altar, on the wood that is on the fire. ^uIt is a burnt sacrifice, an offering made by fire, a ³sweet aroma to the Lord.
