| 1Now the LORD called to Moses, and spoke to him from the tabernacle of meeting, saying, | 1The LORD told Moses from the middle of the Tent of Meeting, |
| 2“Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them: ‘When any one of you brings an offering to the LORD, you shall bring your offering of the livestock—of the herd and of the flock. | 2"Speak to the Israelis and tell them that when any person brings an offering to the LORD from among you, whether he brings on offering of animals from either cattle or flock, |
| 3‘If his offering is a burnt sacrifice of the herd, let him offer a male without blemish; he shall offer it of his own free will at the door of the tabernacle of meeting before the LORD. | 3if his offering is a burnt offering from the herd, he is to bring a male without any defect. He is to present it at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting. At the appointed time, it is to be presented in the presence of the LORD so that he may be accepted. |
| 4Then he shall put his hand on the head of the burnt offering, and it will be accepted on his behalf to make atonement for him. | 4He is to lay his hand on the head of the burnt offering, and it will be accepted for him as an atonement on his behalf. |
| 5He shall kill the bull before the LORD; and the priests, Aaron’s sons, shall bring the blood and sprinkle the blood all around on the altar that is by the door of the tabernacle of meeting. | 5Then he is to slaughter the young bull in the LORD's presence." "Aaron's sons, the priests, are to bring the blood and sprinkle it around the altar that stands at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting. |
| 6And he shall skin the burnt offering and cut it into its pieces. | 6He is to skin the burnt offering and cut it into pieces. |
| 7The sons of Aaron the priest shall put fire on the altar, and lay the wood in order on the fire. | 7Aaron's sons, the priests, are to build a fire on the altar and arrange the wood over the fire. |
| 8Then the priests, Aaron’s sons, shall lay the parts, the head, and the fat in order on the wood that is on the fire upon the altar; | 8They are to arrange the pieces of meat—including the head and the fat—on the wood over the fire that burns on the altar. |
| 9but he shall wash its entrails and its legs with water. And the priest shall burn all on the altar as a burnt sacrifice, an offering made by fire, a sweet aroma to the LORD. | 9Then he is to wash its entrails and legs with water. After this, the priest is to offer all of it on the altar—a burnt offering by fire, an aroma that will be pleasing to the LORD." |
| 10‘If his offering is of the flocks—of the sheep or of the goats—as a burnt sacrifice, he shall bring a male without blemish. | 10"If his offering is a burnt offering from the flock, whether lamb or goat, he is to bring a male without any defect |
| 11He shall kill it on the north side of the altar before the LORD; and the priests, Aaron’s sons, shall sprinkle its blood all around on the altar. | 11and slaughter it at the north side of the altar in the LORD's presence. Then Aaron's sons, the priests, are to sprinkle its blood around the altar. |
| 12And 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 upon the altar; | 12He is to cut up its head and fat into separate pieces arrange them in rows on the wood over the fire that burns on the altar, |
| 13but he shall wash the entrails and the legs with water. Then the priest shall bring it all and burn it on the altar; it is a burnt sacrifice, an offering made by fire, a sweet aroma to the LORD. | 13wash its entrails and legs with water, and then offer all of it on the altar—a burnt offering by fire, an aroma that will be pleasing to the LORD." |
| 14‘And if the burnt sacrifice of his offering to the LORD is of birds, then he shall bring his offering of turtledoves or young pigeons. | 14"If his offering is a burnt offering of birds to the LORD, he is to bring turtledoves or young doves. |
| 15The priest shall bring it to the altar, wring off its head, and burn it on the altar; its blood shall be drained out at the side of the altar. | 15The priest is to bring it to the altar to offer it up in smoke. He is to decapitate it and drain its blood on the side of the altar, |
| 16And he shall remove its crop with its feathers and cast it beside the altar on the east side, into the place for ashes. | 16and then he is to eviscerate it and throw the viscera and the feathers to the east side of the altar, where the fatty ashes are located. |
| 17Then he shall split it at its wings, but shall not divide it completely; and the priest shall burn it on the altar, on the wood that is on the fire. It is a burnt sacrifice, an offering made by fire, a sweet aroma to the LORD. | 17He is then to tear it open by its wings, but not divide it completely into two parts. The priest is then to offer all of it on the wood over the fire as a burnt offering by fire, an aroma pleasing to the LORD." |
