Lev 1
1
And YHWH called to Moses, and spoke to him out of the tent of meeting, saying,
2
Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them, When any man of you offers an oblation
to YHWH, you 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 YHWH.
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 YHWH: 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
to YHWH.
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 YHWH: 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 to YHWH.
14
And if his oblation to YHWH 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 to the altar, and wring off its head, and burn it on
the altar; and its blood shall be drained out on the side of the altar;
16
and he shall take away its crop with its filth, and cast it beside the altar
on the east part, in the place of the ashes:
17
and he shall rend it by its wings, [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 to YHWH.
