| 1[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 1The LORD called to Moses from the Tabernacle and said to him, |
| 2[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 2“Give the following instructions to the people of Israel. When you present an animal as an offering to the LORD, you may take it from your herd of cattle or your flock of sheep and goats. |
| 3[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 3“If the animal you present as a burnt offering is from the herd, it must be a male with no defects. Bring it to the entrance of the Tabernacle so you may be accepted by the LORD. |
| 4[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 4Lay your hand on the animal’s head, and the LORD will accept its death in your place to purify you, making you right with him. |
| 5[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 5Then slaughter the young bull in the LORD’s presence, and Aaron’s sons, the priests, will present the animal’s blood by splattering it against all sides of the altar that stands at the entrance to the Tabernacle. |
| 6[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 6Then skin the animal and cut it into pieces. |
| 7[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 7The sons of Aaron the priest will build a wood fire on the altar. |
| 8[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 8They will arrange the pieces of the offering, including the head and fat, on the wood burning on the altar. |
| 9[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 9But the internal organs and the legs must first be washed with water. Then the priest will burn the entire sacrifice on the altar as a burnt offering. It is a special gift, a pleasing aroma to the LORD. |
| 10[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 10“If the animal you present as a burnt offering is from the flock, it may be either a sheep or a goat, but it must be a male with no defects. |
| 11[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 11Slaughter the animal on the north side of the altar in the LORD’s presence, and Aaron’s sons, the priests, will splatter its blood against all sides of the altar. |
| 12[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 12Then cut the animal in pieces, and the priests will arrange the pieces of the offering, including the head and fat, on the wood burning on the altar. |
| 13[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 13But the internal organs and the legs must first be washed with water. Then the priest will burn the entire sacrifice on the altar as a burnt offering. It is a special gift, a pleasing aroma to the LORD. |
| 14[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 14“If you present a bird as a burnt offering to the LORD, choose either a turtledove or a young pigeon. |
| 15[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 15The priest will take the bird to the altar, wring off its head, and burn it on the altar. But first he must drain its blood against the side of the altar. |
| 16[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 16The priest must also remove the crop and the feathers and throw them in the ashes on the east side of the altar. |
| 17[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 17Then, grasping the bird by its wings, the priest will tear the bird open, but without tearing it apart. Then he will burn it as a burnt offering on the wood burning on the altar. It is a special gift, a pleasing aroma to the LORD. |
