10‘But ifH518 his offeringH7133 is from the flockH6629, either from the sheepH3775 orH176 from the goatsH5795, as a burntH5930 offeringH5930, he shall offerH7126 a 20maleH2145 withoutH8549 defectH8549. 11And 21he shall slaughterH7819 it on the sideH3409 of the altarH4196 northwardH6828 beforeH6440 the LordH3068, and Aaron’sH175 sonsH1121 the priestsH3548 shall sprinkleH2236 its bloodH1818 aroundH5439 on the altarH4196. 12He shall then cutH5408 it into its piecesH5409 with its headH7218 and its 22suetH6309, and the priestH3548 shall arrangeH6186 them on the woodH6086 whichH834 is on the fireH784 that is on the altarH4196. 13The entrailsH7130, however, and the legsH3767 he shall washH7364 with waterH4325.

14‘But ifH518 his offeringH7133 to the LordH3068 is a burntH5930 offeringH5930 of birdsH5775, then he shall bringH7126 his offeringH7133 from the 24turtledovesH8449 orH176 from youngH1121 dovesH3123. 15The priestH3548 shall bringH7126 it to the altarH4196, and pinchH4454 offH4454 its headH7218, and offerH6999 it upH6999 inH6999 smokeH6999 on the altarH4196; and its bloodH1818 is to be drainedH4680 outH4680 25on the sideH7023 of the altarH4196. 16He shall also removeH5493 its crawH4760 with its feathersH5133 and throwH7993 it besideH681 the altarH4196 eastwardH6924, to the placeH4725 of the 26fattyH1880 ashesH1880. 17Then he shall tearH8156 it by its wingsH3671, but 27shall not severH914 it.
