And the Lord called unto Moses, and spake unto him out of the tabernacle of the congregation, saying, (1:1)

Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, If any man of you bring an offering unto the Lord, ye shall bring your offering of the cattle, [even] of the herd, and of the flock (1:2)

If his offering [be] a burnt sacrifice of the herd, let him offer a male without blemish: he shall offer it of his own voluntary will at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation before the Lord (1:3)

And he shall put his hand upon the head of the burnt offering; and it shall be accepted for him to make atonement for him (1:4)

And he shall kill the bullock before the Lord: and the priests, Aaron's sons, shall bring the blood, and sprinkle the blood round about upon the altar that [is by] the door of the tabernacle of the congregation (1:5)

And he shall flay the burnt offering, and cut it into his pieces (1:6)

And the sons of Aaron the priest shall put fire upon the altar, and lay the wood in order upon the fire: (1:7)

And the priests, Aaron's sons, shall lay the parts, the head, and the fat, in order upon the wood that [is] on the fire which [is] upon the altar: (1:8)

But his inwards and his legs shall he wash in water: and the priest shall burn all on the altar, [to be] a burnt sacrifice, an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the Lord (1:9)

And if his offering [be] of the flocks, [namely], of the sheep, or of the goats, for a burnt sacrifice; he shall bring it a male without blemish (1:10)

And he shall kill it on the side of the altar northward before the Lord: and the priests, Aaron's sons, shall sprinkle his blood round about upon the altar (1:11)

And he shall cut it into his pieces, with his head and his fat: and the priest shall lay them in order on the wood that [is] on the fire which [is] upon the altar: (1:12)

But he shall wash the inwards and the legs with water: and the priest shall bring [it] all, and burn [it] upon the altar: it [is] a burnt sacrifice, an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the Lord (1:13)

And if the burnt sacrifice for his offering to the Lord [be] of fowls, then he shall bring his offering of turtledoves, or of young pigeons (1:14)

And the priest shall bring it unto the altar, and wring off his head, and burn [it] on the altar; and the blood thereof shall be wrung out at the side of the altar: (1:15)

And he shall pluck away his crop with his feathers, and cast it beside the altar on the east part, by the place of the ashes: (1:16)

And he shall cleave it with 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 sacrifice, an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the Lord (1:17)
