Leviticus 1:3-9

3“If the animal you present as a burnt offering is from the herd, it must be a male with no defects. Bring it to the entrance of the Tabernacle so you may be accepted by the Lord.

4Lay your hand on the animal’s head, and the Lord will accept its death in your place to purify you, making you right with him.

5Then slaughter the young bull in the Lord’s presence, and Aaron’s sons, the priests, will present the animal’s blood by splattering it against all sides of the altar that stands at the entrance to the Tabernacle.

6Then skin the animal and cut it into pieces.

7The sons of Aaron the priest will build a wood fire on the altar.

8They will arrange the pieces of the offering, including the head and fat, on the wood burning on the altar.

9But the internal organs and the legs must first be washed with water. Then the priest will burn the entire sacrifice on the altar as a burnt offering. It is a special gift, a pleasing aroma to the Lord.
