利未記 1

燔祭的條例

1 耶和華從會幕中呼叫摩西，對他說： 2 「你曉諭以色列人說：你們中間若有人獻供物給耶和華，要從牛群羊群中獻牲畜為供物。

3 「他的供物若以牛為燔祭，就要在會幕門口獻一隻沒有殘疾的公牛，可以在耶和華面前蒙悅納。 4 他要按手在燔祭牲的頭上，燔祭便蒙悅納，為他贖罪。 5 他要在耶和華面前宰公牛；亞倫子孫作祭司的，要奉上血，把血灑在會幕門口、壇的周圍。 6 那人要剝去燔祭牲的皮，把燔祭牲切成塊子。 7 祭司亞倫的子孫要把火放在壇上，把柴擺在火上。 8 亞倫子孫作祭司的，要把肉塊和頭並脂油擺在壇上火的柴上。 9 但燔祭的臟腑與腿要用水洗。祭司就要把一切全燒在壇上，當作燔祭，獻與耶和華為馨香的火祭。

10 「人的供物若以綿羊或山羊為燔祭，就要獻上沒有殘疾的公羊。 11 要把羊宰於壇的北邊，在耶和華面前；亞倫子孫作祭司的，要把羊血灑在壇的周圍。 12 要把燔祭牲切成塊子，連頭和脂油，祭司就要擺在壇上火的柴上； 13 但臟腑與腿要用水洗，祭司就要全然奉獻，燒在壇上。這是燔祭，是獻與耶和華為馨香的火祭。

14 「人奉給耶和華的供物，若以鳥為燔祭，就要獻斑鳩或是雛鴿為供物。 15 祭司要把鳥拿到壇前，揪下頭來，把鳥燒在壇上；鳥的血要流在壇的旁邊； 16 又要把鳥的嗉子和髒物t除掉，丟在壇的東邊倒灰的地方。 17 要拿著鳥的兩個翅膀，把鳥撕開，只是不可撕斷；祭司要在壇上、在火的柴上焚燒。這是燔祭，是獻與耶和華為馨香的火祭。」
