1 The LORD called to Moses and spoke to him out of the tent of meeting, saying,
2 "Speak to the children of Israel and tell them: When anyone among you presents an offering to the LORD, you are to present your offering from the animals, from the herd or from the flock.
3 "If his offering is a burnt offering from the herd, he is to present an unblemished male. He shall present it at the entrance of the tent of meeting, for his acceptance before the LORD.
4 He shall press his hand on the head of the burnt offering, and it will be accepted on his behalf, to make atonement for him.
5 He shall slaughter the young bull before the LORD, and Aaron's sons, the priests, shall present the blood and dash it on every side of the altar that stands at the entrance of the tent of meeting.
6 Then he is to skin the burnt offering and cut it up into its pieces.
7 The sons of Aaron the priest are to put fire on the altar and lay out wood on the fire.
8 Then Aaron's sons, the priests, shall lay out the pieces, with the head and the suet, on the wood that is on the fire upon the altar.
9 Its inner parts and its legs he shall wash in water, and the priest shall send up the whole of it in smoke on the altar: a burnt offering, a food offering, a pleasing aroma to the LORD.
10 "If his offering for a burnt offering is from the flock, from the sheep or the goats, he is to present an unblemished male.
11 He shall slaughter it before the LORD at the north side of the altar, and Aaron's sons, the priests, shall dash its blood on every side of the altar.
12 He shall cut it into its pieces, together with its head and its suet, and the priest shall lay them out on the wood that is on the fire upon the altar.
13 The inner parts and the legs he shall wash in water, and the priest shall present the whole and send it up in smoke on the altar. It is a burnt offering, a food offering, a pleasing aroma to the LORD.
14 "If his offering to the LORD is a burnt offering of birds, then he shall present his offering from the turtledoves or from the young pigeons.
15 The priest shall bring it to the altar, pinch off its head, and send it up in smoke on the altar; and its blood shall be drained out against the side of the altar.
16 He shall take away the crop and what it contains and cast it beside the altar on the east, at the place of the ashes.
17 He shall tear it open by its wings without severing it, and the priest shall send it up in smoke on the altar, on the wood upon the fire. It is a burnt offering, a food offering, a pleasing aroma to the LORD.
