Leviticus 1

1 And Yahweh called to Moses, and spoke to him out of the tent of meeting, saying,2 Speak to the sons of Israel, and say to them, If man among you offers an oblation to Yahweh, you shall offer your oblation of the cattle, [even] of the herd and of the flock.

3 If his oblation is a burnt-offering of the herd, he shall offer it a male without blemish: he shall offer it at the door of the tent of meeting, that he may be accepted before Yahweh.4 And he shall lay his hand on the head of the burnt-offering; and it shall be accepted for him to make atonement for him.5 And he shall kill the bull before Yahweh: and Aaron's sons, the priests, shall present the blood, and sprinkle the blood round about on the altar that is at the door of the tent of meeting.6 And he shall flay the burnt-offering, and cut it into its pieces.7 And the sons of Aaron the priest shall put fire on the altar, and lay wood in order on the fire;8 and Aaron'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:9 but its insides and its legs he shall wash with water: and the priest shall burn the whole on the altar, for a burnt-offering, an offering made by fire, of a sweet savor to Yahweh.

10 And if his oblation is of the flock, of the sheep, or of the goats, for a burnt-offering; he shall offer it a male without blemish.11 And he shall kill it on the side of the altar northward before Yahweh: and Aaron's sons, the priests, shall sprinkle its blood on the altar round about.12 And 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 which is on the altar:13 but the insides and the legs he shall wash with water; and the priest shall offer the whole, and burn it on the altar: it is a burnt-offering, an offering made by fire, of a sweet savor to Yahweh.14 And if his oblation to Yahweh is a burnt-offering of birds, then he shall offer his oblation of turtle-doves, or of young pigeons.15 And the priest shall bring it to the altar, and wring off its head, and burn it on the altar; and the blood thereof shall be drained out on the side of the altar;16 and he shall take away its crop with the filth thereof, and cast it beside the altar on the east part, in the place of the ashes:17 and he shall rend it by the wings thereof, [but] shall not divide it apart; and 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 sweet savor to Yahweh.
