Leviticus 1:5-17

5Then slaughter the bull in the Lord’s presence. Aaron’s sons, the priests, will offer the blood. They will throw it against all sides of the altar that is at the entrance to the tent of meeting.

6Skin the burnt offering, and cut it into pieces.

7Then the sons of the priest Aaron will start a fire on the altar and lay the wood on the fire.

8Aaron’s sons, the priests, will also lay the pieces, the head, and the fat on top of the wood burning on the altar.

9Wash the internal organs and legs. Then the priest will burn all of it on the altar. It is a burnt offering, an offering by fire, a soothing aroma to the Lord.

10“If your offering is a sheep or goat, you must bring a male that has no defects.

11Slaughter it in the Lord’s presence on the north side of the altar. Aaron’s sons, the priests, will throw the blood against the altar on all sides.

12Then cut it into pieces. The priest will lay the head and the fat on the wood burning on the altar.

13Wash the internal organs and legs. Then the priest will burn all of it on the altar. It is a burnt offering, an offering by fire, a soothing aroma to the Lord.

14“If your offering to the Lord is a bird, you must sacrifice a mourning dove or pigeon.

15The priest must bring it to the altar. He will break its neck and burn the bird on the altar. First, he will drain the blood against the side of the altar.

16Remove the gizzard with its filth and throw it on the east side of the altar on the place for the ashes.

17Then pull on the bird’s wings to tear the bird open, but don’t pull the wings off. Then the priest will lay the bird on the wood burning on the altar. It is a burnt offering, an offering by fire, a soothing aroma to the Lord.”
