1:1 Then the LORD called to Moses and spoke to him¹ from the Tent of Meeting,² saying:³ 1:2 “Speak to the children of Israel and say to them, ‘When⁴ someone⁵ among you presents an offering⁶ to the LORD,⁷ you⁸ must present your offering from the domesticated animals, either from the herd or from the flock.⁹

1:3 “‘If his offering is a burnt offering¹⁰ from the herd he must present it as a flawless male; at the doorway of the Tent of Meeting he must present it for its¹¹ acceptance before the LORD, 1:4 he must lay his hand on the head of the burnt offering, and it will be accepted for him to make atonement¹² on his behalf. 1:5 Then the one presenting the offering¹³ must slaughter the bull¹⁴ before the Lord and the sons of Aaron, the priests, must present the blood and splash¹⁵ the blood all around on the altar which (is at) the doorway of the Tent of Meeting. 1:6 Next the one presenting the offering¹⁶ must skin the burnt offering and cut it into parts, 1:7 and the sons of Aaron, the priests,¹⁷ must put fire on the altar and arrange wood on the fire. 1:8 Then the sons of Aaron, the priests, must arrange the parts with the head and the suet¹⁸ on the wood which is on the fire on the altar.¹⁹ 1:9 Finally, the one presenting the offering²⁰ must wash its entrails and its legs in water and the priest must offer all of it up in smoke on the altar²¹—(it is)²² a burnt offering, a gift²³ of a soothing aroma to the LORD.

1:10 “‘If his offering is from the flock for a burnt offering²⁴—from the sheep or the goats—he must present a flawless male, 1:11 and must slaughter it on the northern side of the altar before the LORD, and the sons of Aaron, the priests, will splash its blood all around on the altar. 1:12 Next the one presenting the offering²⁵ must cut it into parts, with its head and its suet, and the priest must arrange them on the wood which is on the fire, on the altar. 1:13 Then the one presenting the offering²⁶ must wash the entrails and the legs in water, and the priest must present all of it and offer it up in smoke on the altar—it is a burnt offering, a gift of a soothing aroma to the LORD.

1:14 “‘If his offering to the LORD is a burnt offering from the birds,²⁷ he must present his offering to the LORD from the turtledoves or from the young pigeons.²⁸ 1:15 The priest must present it at the altar, pinch off²⁹ its head and offer it³⁰ up in smoke on the altar, and its blood must be drained out on the wall of the altar. 1:16 Then the priest³¹ must remove its entrails by cutting off its tail wing,³² and throw them³³ to the east side of the altar into the place of fatty ashes, 1:17 and tear it open by its wings without dividing it into two parts.³⁴ Finally, the priest must offer it up in smoke on the altar on the wood which is on the fire—it is a burnt offering, a gift of a soothing aroma to the LORD.
