[edit] Chapter 1
1. And the LORD called to Moses, speaking from the tent of the Tabernacle, saying:
2. Speak to the sons of Israel and say to them that if any man brings before the LORD an offering, you shall bring before him a beast of the herd or from the flock.
3. If his offering is to be a burnt offering from the herd, let it be a flawless male brought before the door of the tent of the Tabernacle, in the presence of the LORD.
4. And he shall place his hand on the head of the burnt offering, and it shall be accepted for him to make amends for his sins.
5. And he shall kill the bullock in the presence of the LORD. And Aaron's sons, the Priests will bring the blood and sprinkle it around the alter and the door to the tent of the Tabernacle.
6. And he shall carve the burnt offering, and he shall cut it into pieces.
7. And the sons of Aaron the priest shall put fire on the alter, and shall arrange wood upon the fire.
8. And the sons of Aaron the priest shall place the pieces, the head and the fat on the wood which is in the fire upon the altar.
9. And the offal and the legs he will wash in the waters, and then the priest will burn all of it upon the altar, as a burnt offering, an offering made by fire and a fragrance pleasing to the LORD.
10. And if the offering he is giving be of the flock, from the sheep or from the goats, to be a burnt offering, he shall bring a flawless male.
11. And he shall kill it on the side of the alter facing north, before the face of the LORD. And the sons of Aaron, the priests shall sprinkle its blood around the alter.
12. And he shall cut it into pieces, its head and its fat. And the priest shall arrange them upon the wood of the fire which is upon the altar.
13. And he shall wash the insides and the legs in water, and the priest shall bring it all, and burn it upon the altar as a burnt offering, an offering made by fire and a fragrance pleasing to the LORD.
