1Adonai called to Moses [Drawn out], and spoke to him from the Tent of Meeting, saying,

2“Speak to the children of Israel [God prevails], and tell them, ‘When anyone of you offers an offering to Adonai, you shall offer your offering of the livestock, from the herd and from the flock.

3⁰“‘If his offering is a burnt offering from the herd, he shall offer a male without defect. He shall offer it at the door of the Tent of Meeting, that he may be accepted before Adonai.

4He shall lay his hand on the head of the burnt offering, and it shall be accepted for him to make atonement for him.

5He shall kill the bull before Adonai. Aaron [Light-bringer]’s sons, the priests, shall present the blood and sprinkle the blood around on the altar that is at the door of the Tent of Meeting.

6He shall flay the burnt offering, and cut it into pieces.

7The sons of Aaron [Light-bringer] the priest shall put fire on the altar, and lay wood in order on the fire;

8and Aaron [Light-bringer]’s sons, the priests, shall lay the pieces, the head, and the fat in order on the wood that is on the fire which is on the altar;

9but its innards and its legs he shall wash with water. The priest shall burn all of it on the altar, for a burnt offering, an offering made by fire, of a pleasant aroma to Adonai.

10“‘If his offering is from the flock, from the sheep, or from the goats, for a burnt offering, he shall offer a male without defect.

11He shall kill it on the north side of the altar before Adonai. Aaron [Light-bringer]’s sons, the priests, shall sprinkle its blood around on the altar.

12He shall cut it into its pieces, with its head and its fat. The priest shall lay them in order on the wood that is on the fire which is on the altar,

13but the innards and the legs he shall wash with water. The priest shall offer the whole, and burn it on the altar. It is a burnt offering, an offering made by fire, of a pleasant aroma to Adonai. (2)

14“‘If his offering to Adonai is a burnt offering of birds, then he shall offer his offering of turtledoves or of young pigeons.

15The priest shall bring it to the altar, and wring off its head, and burn it on the altar; and its blood shall be drained out on the side of the altar;

16and he shall take away its crop with its filth, and cast it beside the altar on the east part, in the place of the ashes.

17He shall tear it by its wings, but shall not divide it apart. The priest shall burn it on the altar, on the wood that is on the fire. It is a burnt offering, an offering made by fire, of a pleasant aroma to Adonai.
