Leviticus 1:11-17

111He shall slay it on the side of the altar northward before the Lord, and Aaron’s sons the priests shall sprinkle its blood around on the altar. 12He shall then cut it into its pieces with its head and its 2suet, and the priest shall arrange them on the wood which is on the fire that is on the altar. 13The entrails, however, and the legs he shall wash with water. And 3the priest shall offer all of it, and offer it up in smoke on the altar; it is a burnt offering, an offering by fire of a soothing aroma to the Lord.

14‘But if his offering to the Lord is a burnt offering of birds, then he shall bring his offering from the 4turtledoves or from young pigeons. 15The priest shall bring it to the altar, and wring off its head and offer it up in smoke on the altar; and its blood is to be drained out 5on the side of the altar. 16He shall also take away its crop with its feathers and cast it beside the altar eastward, to the place of the 67ashes. 17Then he shall tear it by its wings, but 8shall not sever it. And the priest shall offer it up in smoke on the altar on the wood which is on the fire; 9it is a burnt offering, an offering by fire of a soothing aroma to the Lord.
