¶ And the LORD called unto Moses, and spoke unto him out of the tabernacle of the testimony, saying,

2 S ay to the Israelites, When any man of you brings an offering to the Lord, you shall bring your offering of animals from the herd or from the flock.

Speak unto the sons of Israel and say unto them, When any of you offers an offering unto the LORD of animals, of cattle, even of the cows, or of the sheep ye shall make your offering.

3 I f his offering is a burnt offering from the herd, he shall offer a male without blemish; he shall offer it at the door of the Tent of Meeting, that he may be accepted before the Lord.

¶ If his offering is a burnt sacrifice of the herd, let him offer a male without blemish; he shall offer it of his own free will at the door of the tabernacle of the testimony before the LORD.

4 A nd he shall lay his hands upon the head of the burnt offering, and it shall be an acceptable atonement for him.

And he shall put his hand upon the head of the burnt offering, and he shall accept it to reconcile him.

5 T he man shall kill the young bull before the Lord, and the priests, Aaron’s sons, shall present the blood and dash round about upon the altar that is at the door of the Tent of Meeting.

Then the priests, Aaron’s sons, shall lay the parts, the head and the fat, in order upon the wood that is on the fire which shall be upon the altar;

9 B ut its entrails and its legs he shall wash with water. And the priest shall burn all of it on the altar for a burnt offering, an offering by fire, a sweet and satisfying odor to the Lord.

but he shall wash its intestines and its legs in water, and the priest shall incense it all on the altar, to be a burnt sacrifice, an offering on fire, of a very acceptable aroma unto the LORD.

10 A nd if the man’s offering is of the flock, from the sheep or the goats, for a burnt offering, he shall offer a male without blemish.

¶ And if his offering is of the sheep, namely of the lambs or of the goats, for a burnt sacrifice, he shall offer a male without blemish.

And he shall pluck away its crop and its feathers and cast them beside the altar on the east part, by the place of the ashes with the burnt fat.
