shall offer your
offering of the cattle, from the herd and 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 Yahweh. 4 He shall lay his hand on the head
of the burnt offering, and it shall be accepted for him to make atonement for
him. 5 He shall kill the bull before Yahweh. Aaron’s sons, the priests,
shall present the blood and sprinkle the blood around on the altar that is at
the door of the Tent of Meeting. 6 He shall flay the burnt offering, and
cut it into pieces. 7 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 that is on
the fire which is on the altar; 9 but its innards and its legs he shall
wash with water. The priest shall burn the whole on the altar, for a burnt
offering, an offering made by fire, of a sweet savor to Yahweh.
10 “‘If his offering is from the flock, from the sheep, or from the goats,
for a burnt offering, he shall offer a male without blemish. 11 He shall
kill it on the north side of the altar before Yahweh. Aaron’s sons, the
priests, shall sprinkle its blood around on the altar. 12 He shall cut it
into its pieces, with its head and its fat. The priest shall lay them in
order on the wood that is on the fire which is on the altar, 13 but the
innards and the legs he shall wash with water. The priest shall offer the
whole, and burn it on the altar. It is a burnt offering, an offering made by
fire, of a sweet savor to Yahweh.
14 “‘If his offering to Yahweh is a burnt offering of birds, then he shall
offer his offering of turtledoves, or of young pigeons. 15 The priest
shall bring it to the altar, and wring off its head, and burn it on the
altar; and its blood shall be drained out on the side of the altar; 16 and
he shall take away its crop with its filth, and cast it beside the altar on
the east part, in the place of the ashes. 17 He shall tear it by its
wings, but shall not divide it apart. 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, of a sweet savor to Yahweh.
