Leviticus 1:1-11

1Then the Lord summoned Moses and spoke to him from the tent of meeting:

2“Speak to the Israelites and tell them: When any of you brings an offering to the Lord from the livestock, you may bring your offering from the herd or the flock.

3“If his offering is a burnt offering from the herd, he is to bring an unblemished male. He will bring it to the entrance to the tent of meeting so that he may be accepted by the Lord.

4He is to lay his hand on the head of the burnt offering so it can be accepted on his behalf to make atonement for him.

5He is to slaughter the bull before the Lord; Aaron’s sons the priests are to present the blood and splatter it on all sides of the altar that is at the entrance to the tent of meeting.

6Then he is to skin the burnt offering and cut it into pieces.

7The sons of Aaron the priest will prepare a fire on the altar and arrange wood on the fire.

8Aaron’s sons the priests are to arrange the pieces, the head, and the fat on top of the burning wood on the altar.

9The offerer is to wash its entrails and legs with water. Then the priest will burn all of it on the altar as a burnt offering, a food offering, a pleasing aroma to the Lord.

10“But if his offering for a burnt offering is from the flock, from sheep or goats, he is to present an unblemished male.

11He will slaughter it on the north side of the altar before the Lord. Aaron’s sons the priests will splatter its blood against the altar on all sides.
