Leviticus 1:1-8 ▼

1 Then Yahweh called to Moses and spoke to him from the tent of meeting, saying,

2 “Speak to the sons of Israel and say to them, ‘When any man from among you brings an offering near to Yahweh, you shall bring your offering of animals from the herd or the flock.

3 If his offering is a burnt offering from the herd, he shall bring it near, a male without blemish; he shall bring it near to the doorway 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, that it may be accepted for him to make atonement on his behalf.

5 Then he shall slaughter the young bull before Yahweh; and Aaron’s sons the priests shall bring near the blood and splash the blood around on the altar that is at the doorway of the tent of meeting.

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

7 And the sons of Aaron the priest shall put fire on the altar and arrange wood on the fire.

8 Then Aaron’s sons the priests shall arrange the pieces, the head, and the suet over the wood which is on the fire that is on the altar.
