The Burnt Offering

1And the Lord called to Moses, and spoke to him out of the tabernacle of the congregation, saying,

2Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them, If any man of you^p bring an offering to the Lord, you^p shall bring your^p offering of the cattle, even of the herd, and of the flock.

3If his offering be a burned 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.   EPH 5:27

4And he shall put his hand upon the head of the burned offering; and it shall be accepted for him to make atonement for him.

5And 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.

6And he shall flay the burnt offering, and cut it into its pieces.   skin
