Leviticus 1:1-17 AMPC

[1] The Lord called to Moses out of the Tent of Meeting, and said to him, [2] Say to the Israelites, When any man of you brings an offering to the Lord, you shall bring your offering of [domestic] animals from the herd or from the flock. [3] If 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. [4] And he shall lay [both] his hands upon the head of the burnt offering [transferring symbolically his guilt to the victim], and it shall be an acceptable atonement for him. [5] The man shall kill the young bull before the Lord, and the priests, Aaron's sons, shall present the blood and dash [it] round about upon the altar that is at the door of the Tent of Meeting. [6] And he shall skin the burnt offering and cut it into 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 on the fire on the altar. [9] But 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. [10] And 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. [11] And he shall kill it on the north side of the altar before the Lord, and Aaron's sons the priests shall dash its blood round about against the altar. [12] And [the man] shall cut it into pieces, with its head and its fat, and the priest shall lay them in order on the wood that is on the fire on the altar. [13] But he shall wash the entrails and legs with water. The priest shall offer all of it and burn it on the altar; it is a burnt offering, an offering made by fire, a sweet and satisfying fragrance to the Lord. [14] And if the offering to the Lord is a burnt offering of birds, then [the man] shall bring turtledoves or young pigeons. [15] And the 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. [16] And he shall take away its crop with its feathers and cast it beside the altar on the east side, in the place for ashes. [17] And he shall split it open [holding it] by its wings, but shall not cut it in two. 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, a sweet and satisfying odor to the Lord.
