1 T he Lord called to Moses and spoke to him from the meeting tent, saying,

And the Lord called unto Moses, and spake unto him out of the tabernacle of the congregation, saying,

2 “ Speak to the people of Israel. Tell them, ‘When any of you bring a gift in worship to the Lord, bring your gift of animals from the herd or the flock.

Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, If 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.

3 I f his gift is a burnt gift from the cattle, he should bring a male that is perfect. He should give it at the door of the meeting tent, so he will be pleasing to the Lord.

If his offering be a burnt sacrifice of the herd, let him offer a male without blemish: he shall offer it of his own voluntary will at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation before the Lord.

4 H e will lay his hand on the head of the burnt gift and it will be received to take away his sins.

And he shall put his hand upon the head of the burnt offering; and it shall be accepted for him to make atonement for him.

5 H e will kill the young bull before the Lord. Then Aaron’s sons, the religious leaders, will take the blood and put it around on the altar that is at the door of the meeting tent.

And he shall kill the bullock before the Lord: and the priests, Aaron’s sons, shall bring the blood, and sprinkle the blood round about upon the altar that is by the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.

6 H e will skin the burnt gift and cut it into pieces.

And he shall flay the burnt offering, and cut it into his pieces.

7 T he sons of Aaron the religious leader will put fire on the altar and lay wood on the fire.

And the sons of Aaron the priest shall put fire upon the altar, and lay the wood in order upon the fire:

8 T hen Aaron’s sons, the religious leaders, will lay the pieces, the head and the fat on the wood that is on the altar fire.

and 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 is upon the altar:

9 B ut he will wash its legs and inside parts with water. Then the religious leader will burn all of it on the altar as a burnt gift. It will be a gift by fire, a pleasing smell to the Lord.

but his inwards and his legs shall he wash in water: and the priest shall burn all on the altar, to be a burnt sacrifice, an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the Lord.

10 ‘ If his gift is a burnt gift from the sheep or the goats of the flock, he should give a male that is perfect.

And 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.

11 H e should kill it on the north side of the altar before the Lord. Aaron’s sons, the religious leaders, will put its blood around on the altar.

And 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.

12 T hen he will cut it into pieces with its head and its fat. And the religious leader will lay them on the wood that is on the altar fire.

And he shall cut it into his pieces, 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:

13 B ut he will wash the legs and inside parts with water. The religious leader will burn all of it on the altar as a burnt gift. It will be a gift by fire, a pleasing smell to the Lord.

but 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.

14 ‘ If his gift is a burnt gift of birds, he should bring his gift from the turtle-doves or young pigeons.

And if the burnt sacrifice for his offering to the Lord be of fowls, then he shall bring his offering of turtledoves, or of young pigeons.

15 T he religious leader will bring it to the altar and take off its head. Then he will burn it on the altar. Its blood will flow down on the side of the altar.

And 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:

16 H e will take the part of its body where the food it eats is kept and with its feathers throw them on the ashes on the east side of the altar.

and he shall pluck away his crop with his feathers, and cast it beside the altar on the east part, by the place of the ashes:

17 T hen he will tear it by its wings, but not divide it. And the religious leader will burn it on the altar as a burnt gift. It will be a gift by fire, a pleasing smell to the Lord.

and he shall cleave it with the wings thereof, but shall not divide it asunder: and the priest shall burn it upon the altar, upon the wood that is upon the fire: it is a burnt sacrifice, an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the Lord.
