Leviticus 1
1 And Jehovah called unto Moses, and spake unto him out of the tent of meeting, saying,2 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When any man of you offereth an oblation unto Jehovah, ye shall offer your oblation of the cattle, even of the herd and of the flock.
3 If his oblation be a burnt-offering of the herd, he shall offer it a male without blemish: he shall offer it at the door of the tent of meeting, that he may be accepted before Jehovah.4 And he shall lay his hand upon the head of the burnt-offering; and it shall be accepted for him to make atonement for him.5 And he shall kill the bullock before Jehovah: and Aaron’s sons, the priests, shall present the blood, and sprinkle the blood round about upon the altar that is at the door of the tent of meeting.6 And he shall flay the burnt-offering, and cut it into its pieces.7 And the sons of Aaron the priest shall put fire upon the altar, and lay wood in order upon the fire;8 and Aaron’s sons, the priests, shall lay the pieces, the head, and the fat, in order upon the wood that is on the fire which is upon the altar:9 but its inwards and its legs shall he wash with water: and the priest shall burn the whole on the altar, for a burnt-offering, an offering made by fire, of a sweet savor unto Jehovah.
10 And if his oblation be of the flock, of the sheep, or of the goats, for a burnt-offering; he shall offer it a male without blemish.11 And he shall kill it on the side of the altar northward before Jehovah: and Aaron’s sons, the priests, shall sprinkle its blood upon the altar round about.12 And he shall cut it into its pieces, with its head and its fat; and the priest shall lay them in order on the wood that is on the fire which is upon the altar:13 but the inwards and the legs shall he wash with water; and the priest shall offer the whole, and burn it upon the altar: it is a burnt-offering, an offering made by fire, of a sweet savor unto Jehovah.
14 And if his oblation to Jehovah be a burnt-offering of birds, then he shall offer his oblation of turtle-doves, or of young pigeons.15 And the priest shall bring it unto the altar, and wring off its head, and burn it on the altar; and the blood thereof shall be drained out on the side of the altar;16 and he shall take away its crop with the filth thereof, and cast it beside the altar on the east part, in the place of the ashes:17 and he shall rend it by the wings thereof, but shall not divide it asunder; and the priest shall burn it upon the altar, upon the wood that is upon the fire: it is a burnt-offering, an offering made by fire, of a sweet savor unto Jehovah.
Leviticus 1
Sacrifices Burnt Whole
1 The Lord called to Moses from the Tent of the Lord's presence and gave him the following rules
2 for the Israelites to observe when they offer their sacrifices.
When anyone offers an animal sacrifice, it may be one of his cattle or one of his sheep or goats. 3 If he is offering one of his cattle as a burnt offering, he must bring a bull without any defects. He must present it at the entrance of the Tent of the Lord's presence so that the Lord will accept him. 4 The man shall put his hand on its head, and it will be accepted as a sacrifice to take away his sins. 5 He shall kill the bull there, and the Aaronite priests shall present the blood to the Lord and then throw it against all four sides of the altar which is at the entrance of the Tent. 6 Then he shall skin the animal and cut it up, 7 and the priests shall arrange firewood on the altar and light it. 8 They shall put on the fire the pieces of the animal, including the head and the fat.
9 The man must wash the internal organs and the hind legs, and the officiating priest will burn the whole sacrifice on the altar. The smell of this food offering is pleasing to the Lord.
10 If the man is offering one of his sheep or goats, it must be a male without any defects. 11 He shall kill it on the north side of the altar, and the priests shall throw its blood on all four sides of the altar. 12 After the man cuts it up, the officiating priest shall put on the fire all the parts, including the head and the fat.
13 The man must wash the internal organs and the hind legs, and the priest will present the sacrifice to the Lord and burn all of it on the altar. The smell of this food offering is pleasing to the Lord.
14 If the man is offering a bird as a burnt offering, it must be a dove or a pigeon. 15 The priest shall present it at the altar, wring its neck, and burn its head on the altar. Its blood shall be drained out against the side of the altar. 16 He shall remove the crop and its contents and throw them away on the east side of the altar where the ashes are put. 17 He shall take hold of its wings and tear its body open, without tearing the wings off, and then burn it whole on the altar. The smell of this food offering is pleasing to the Lord.
