﻿Leviticus.
Chapter 1.
The LORD called to Moses and spoke to him from the Tent of Meeting, saying, 
“Speak to the Israelites and say to them: ‘When anyone among you presents an offering to the LORD, you shall present your offering from the livestock, from the herd or the flock. 
If his offering is a burnt offering from the herd, he shall present a male without blemish. He shall present it at the entrance of the Tent of Meeting so that it may be accepted for him before the LORD. 
He shall lay his hand on the head of the burnt offering, and it shall be accepted for him to make atonement for him. 
He shall slaughter the young bull before the LORD. Aaron’s sons, the priests, shall present the blood and dash the blood against all sides of the altar at the entrance of the Tent of Meeting. 
He shall skin the burnt offering and cut it into pieces. 
The sons of Aaron the priest shall put fire on the altar and arrange wood on the fire. 
Aaron’s sons, the priests, shall arrange the pieces, the head, and the suet on the wood that is on the fire on the altar. 
He shall wash its entrails and its legs with water, and the priest shall turn the whole into smoke on the altar. It is a burnt offering, an offering by fire, a pleasing aroma to the LORD. 
If his offering for a burnt offering is from the flock, from the sheep or the goats, he shall present a male without blemish. 
He shall slaughter it on the north side of the altar before the LORD. Aaron’s sons, the priests, shall dash its blood against all sides of the altar. 
He shall cut it into pieces, with its head and its suet, and the priest shall arrange them on the wood that is on the fire on the altar. 
He shall wash the entrails and the legs with water. The priest shall present the whole and turn it into smoke on the altar. It is a burnt offering, an offering by fire, a pleasing aroma to the LORD. 
If his offering to the LORD is a burnt offering of birds, he shall present his offering from the turtledoves or the young pigeons. 
The priest shall bring it to the altar, wring off its head, and turn it into smoke on the altar. Its blood shall be drained out against the wall of the altar. 
He shall remove its crop with its feathers and throw it beside the altar on the east, at the place of the ashes. 
He shall split it open by its wings, but shall not separate it completely. The priest shall turn it into smoke on the altar, on the wood that is on the fire. It is a burnt offering, an offering by fire, a pleasing aroma to the LORD.
