- 2
- Say to the Israelites, When any man of you brings an offering to the Lord, you shall bring your offering of [domestic] animals from the herd or from the flock.
- 3
- If his offering is a burnt offering from the herd, he shall offer a male without blemish; he shall offer it at the door of the Tent of Meeting, that he may be accepted before the Lord. [Rom. 12:1; Phil. 1:20.]
- 4
- And he shall lay [both] his hands upon the head of the burnt offering [transferring symbolically his guilt to the victim], and it shall be an acceptable atonement for him. [Heb. 13:15, 16; I Pet. 1:2.]
- 5
- The man shall kill the young bull before the Lord, and the priests, Aaron's sons, shall present the blood and dash [it] round about upon the altar that is at the door of the Tent of Meeting.
- 6
- And he shall skin the burnt offering and cut it into pieces.
- 7
- And the sons of Aaron the priest shall put fire on the altar and lay wood in order on the fire;
- 8
- And Aaron's sons the priests shall lay the pieces, the head and the fat, in order on the wood on the fire on the altar.
- 9
- But its entrails and its legs he shall wash with water. And the priest shall burn all of it on the altar for a burnt offering, an offering by fire, a sweet and satisfying odor to the Lord. [Eph. 5:2; Phil. 4:18; I Pet. 2:5.]
- 10
- And if the man's offering is of the flock, from the sheep or the goats, for a burnt offering, he shall offer a male without blemish.
- 11
- And he shall kill it on the north side of the altar before the Lord, and Aaron's sons the priests shall dash its blood round about against the altar.
- 12
- And [the man] shall cut it into pieces, with its head and its fat, and the priest shall lay them in order on the wood that is on the fire on the altar.
- 13
- But he shall wash the entrails and legs with water. The priest shall offer all of it and burn it on the altar; it is a burnt offering, an offering made by fire, a sweet and satisfying fragrance to the Lord.
- 14
- And if the offering to the Lord is a burnt offering of birds, then [the man] shall bring turtledoves or young pigeons.
- 15

- 16
- And he shall take away its crop with its feathers and cast it beside the altar on the east side, in the place for ashes.
- 17
- And he shall split it open [holding it] by its wings, but shall not cut it in two. And the priest shall burn it on the altar, on the wood that is on the fire; it is a burnt offering, an offering made by fire, a sweet and satisfying odor to the Lord.
