Leviticus 1

(Leviticus 6:8–13)

1Then the LORDH3068H413 called toH7121 MosesH4872 and spokeH1696 to himH413 from the TentH168 of MeetingH4150, sayingH559, 2“SpeakH1696 toH413 the IsraelitesH1121H3478 and tellH559 themH413: WhenH3588 anyH120 of you bringsH7126 an offeringH7133 to the LORDH3068, you may bringH7126 as your offeringH7133 anH4480 animalH929 fromH4480 the herdH1241H4480 or the flockH6629.

3IfH518 his offeringH7133 is a burnt offeringH5930 fromH4480 the herdH1241, he is to presentH7126 an unblemishedH8549 maleH2145. He must bringH7126 itH853 toH413 the entranceH6607 to the TentH168 of MeetingH4150 for its acceptanceH7522 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068. 4He is to layH5564 his handH3027 onH5921 the headH7218 of the burnt offeringH5930, so it can be acceptedH7521 on his behalf to make atonementH3722 for himH5921.

5And he shall slaughterH7819 the youngH1121 bullH1241 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068, and Aaron’sH175 sonsH1121 the priestsH3548 are to presentH7126 the bloodH1818 and splatterH2236 itH1818 on all sidesH5439 ofH5921 the altarH4196 at the entranceH6607 to the TentH168 of MeetingH4150. 6Next, he is to skinH6584 the burnt offeringH5930 and cutH5408 it into piecesH5409.

7The sonsH1121 of AaronH175 the priestH3548 shall putH5414 a fireH784 onH5921 the altarH4196 and arrangeH6186 woodH6086 onH5921 the fireH784. 8Then Aaron’sH175 sonsH1121 the priestsH3548 are to arrangeH6186 the piecesH5409, including the headH7218 and the fatH6309, atopH5921 the burningH784 woodH6086 onH5921 the altarH4196. 9The entrailsH7130 and legsH3767 must be washedH7364 with waterH4325, and the priestH3548 shall burnH6999 all of itH3605 on the altarH4196 as a burnt offeringH5930, a food offeringH801, a pleasingH5207 aromaH7381 to the LORDH3068.

10If, howeverH518, one’s offeringH7133 is a burnt offeringH5930 fromH4480 the flockH6629—fromH4480 the sheepH3775 orH176H4480 goatsH5795—he is to presentH7126 an unblemishedH8549 maleH2145. 11He shall slaughterH7819 it onH5921 the northH6828 sideH3409 of the altarH4196 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068, and Aaron’sH175 sonsH1121 the priestsH3548 are to splatterH2236 its bloodH1818 againstH5921 the altarH4196 on all sidesH5439. 12He is to cutH5408 the animal into piecesH5409, and the priestH3548 shall arrangeH6186 themH853, includingH853 the headH7218 and fatH6309, atopH5921 the burningH784 woodH6086 thatH834 is onH5921 the altarH4196. 13The entrailsH7130 and legsH3767 must be washedH7364 with waterH4325, and the priestH3548 shall presentH7126 all of itH3605 and burnH6999 it on the altarH4196; itH1931 is a burnt offeringH5930, a food offeringH801, a pleasingH5207 aromaH7381 to the LORDH3068.

14If, insteadH518, one’s offeringH7133 to the LORDH3068 is a burnt offeringH5930 ofH4480 birdsH5775, he is to presentH7126H7133H4480 a turtledoveH8449 orH176H4480 a youngH1121 pigeonH3123. 15Then the priestH3548 shall bringH7126 it toH413 the altarH4196, twist offH4454 its headH7218, and burnH6999 it on the altarH4196; its bloodH1818 should be drained outH4680 onH5921 the sideH7023 of the altarH4196. 16And he is to removeH5493 the cropH4760 with its contentsH51331 and throwH7993 itH853 to the eastH6924 sideH681 of the altarH4196, inH413 the placeH4725 for ashesH1880. 17He shall tear it openH8156 by its wingsH3671, withoutH3808 dividing the bird completelyH914. And the priestH3548 is to burnH6999 itH853 on the altarH4196 atopH5921 the burningH784 woodH6086. ItH1931 is a burnt offeringH5930, a food offeringH801, a pleasingH5207 aromaH7381 to the LORDH3068.
