Leviticus 1
1 And the Lord
called Moses again and spoke to him out of the tabernacle of witness, saying,
Speak to the children of Israel, and thou shalt say to them,
2 If any man
of you shall bring gifts to the Lord, ye shall bring your gifts of the cattle
and of the oxen and of the sheep. 3 If
his gift be a whole-burnt-offering, he shall bring an unblemished male of the
herd to the door of the tabernacle of witness, he shall bring it as acceptable
before the Lord. 4 And he shall lay
his hand on the head of the burnt-offering as a thing acceptable for him, to
make atonement for him. 5 And they
shall slay the calf before the Lord; and the sons of Aaron the priests shall
bring the blood, and they shall pour the blood round about on the altar, which
is at the doors of the tabernacle of witness.
6 And having flayed the whole
burnt-offering, they shall divide it by its limbs.
7 And the sons of Aaron the priests
shall put fire on the altar, and shall pile wood on the fire.
8 And the sons of Aaron the priests
shall pile up the divided parts, and the head, and the fat on the wood on the
fire, the wood which is on the altar.
9 And the entrails and the feet they
shall wash in water, and the priests shall put all on the altar: it is a
burnt-offering, a sacrifice, a smell of sweet savour to the Lord.
10 And if his gift
be of the sheep to the Lord, or of the lambs, or of
the kids for whole-burnt-offerings, he shall bring it a male without blemish.
11 And he shall lay his hand on its
head; and they shall kill it by the side of the altar, toward the north before
the Lord, and the sons of Aaron the priests shall pour its blood on the altar
round about. 12 And they shall divide
it by its limbs, and its head and its fat, and the priests shall pile them up
on the wood which is on the fire, on the altar.
13 And they shall wash the entrails
and the feet with water, and the priest shall bring all the
parts and put them on the altar: it is a
burnt-offering, a sacrifice, a smell of sweet savour to the Lord.
14 And if he bring his gift, a
burnt-offering to the Lord, of birds, then shall he bring his gift of doves or
pigeons. 15 And the priest shall
bring it to the altar, and shall wring off its head; and the priest shall put
it on the altar, and shall wring out the blood at the bottom of the altar.
16 And he shall take away the crop
with the feathers, and shall cast it forth by the altar toward the east to the
place of the ashes. 17 And he shall
break it off from the wings and shall not separate it, and the priest shall
put it on the altar on the wood which is on the fire: it is a burnt-offering,
a sacrifice, a sweet-smelling savour to the Lord.
