Leviticus 1

1And Jehovah called unto Moses, and spake unto him out of the tent of meeting, saying,

1The LORD called to Moses and spoke to him from the Meeting Tent, saying,

2Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When any man of you offereth an oblation unto Jehovah, ye shall offer your oblation of the cattle, even of the herd and of the flock.

2Speak to the Israelites and tell them: When any of you brings an offering to the LORD, you must bring your offering from the livestock, either from the herd or from the flock.

3If his oblation be a burnt-offering of the herd, he shall offer it a male without blemish: he shall offer it at the door of the tent of meeting, that he may be accepted before Jehovah.

3If his offering is a burnt offering from the herd, he must offer a male that has no defects. He must bring it to the entrance of the Meeting Tent so that he may be accepted by the LORD.

4And he shall lay his hand upon the head of the burnt-offering; and it shall be accepted for him to make atonement for him.

4He is to lay his hand on the head of the burnt offering, and it will be accepted on his behalf to make atonement for him.

5And he shall kill the bullock before Jehovah: and Aaron’s sons, the priests, shall present the blood, and sprinkle the blood round about upon the altar that is at the door of the tent of meeting.

5Then he shall slaughter the young bull before the LORD. Aaron’s sons, the priests, will bring the blood and splash it against all sides of the altar that is at the entrance of the Meeting Tent.

6And he shall flay the burnt-offering, and cut it into its pieces.

6He shall then skin the burnt offering and cut it into pieces.

7And the sons of Aaron the priest shall put fire upon the altar, and lay wood in order upon the fire;

7The sons of Aaron the priest are to put fire on the altar and arrange wood on the fire.

8and Aaron’s sons, the priests, shall lay the pieces, the head, and the fat, in order upon the wood that is on the fire which is upon the altar:

8Then Aaron’s sons, the priests, shall arrange the pieces, including the head and the fat, on the wood that is burning on the altar.

9but its inwards and its legs shall he wash with water. And the priest shall burn the whole on the altar, for a burnt-offering, an offering made by fire, of a sweet savor unto Jehovah.

9But the person must wash the internal organs and the legs with water. The priest shall then burn all of it on the altar as a burnt offering, a food offering with a pleasing aroma to the LORD.

10And if his oblation be of the flock, of the sheep, or of the goats, for a burnt-offering; he shall offer it a male without blemish.

10If his offering for a burnt sacrifice is from the flock—from the sheep or the goats—he must offer a male without any defects.

11And he shall kill it on the side of the altar northward before Jehovah: and Aaron’s sons, the priests, shall sprinkle its blood upon the altar round about.

11He shall slaughter it on the north side of the altar before the LORD, and Aaron’s sons, the priests, shall splash its blood against all sides of the altar.

12And he shall cut it into its pieces, with its head and its fat; and the priest shall lay them in order on the wood that is on the fire which is upon the altar:

12He shall cut it into pieces, and the priest shall arrange the pieces, along with the head and the fat, on the wood that is burning on the altar.

13but the inwards and the legs shall he wash with water. And the priest shall offer the whole, and burn it upon the altar: it is a burnt-offering, an offering made by fire, of a sweet savor unto Jehovah.

13The person must wash the internal organs and the legs with water. Then the priest shall offer all of it and burn it on the altar. It is a burnt offering, a food offering with a pleasing aroma to the LORD.

14And if his oblation to Jehovah be a burnt-offering of birds, then he shall offer his oblation of turtle-doves, or of young pigeons.

14If his offering to the LORD is a burnt offering of birds, he must bring a turtledove or a young pigeon.

15And the priest shall bring it unto the altar, and wring off its head, and burn it on the altar; and the blood thereof shall be drained out on the side of the altar;

15The priest shall bring it to the altar, pull off its head, and burn it on the altar; its blood must be drained out on the side of the altar.

16and he shall take away its crop with the filth thereof, and cast it beside the altar on the east part, in the place of the ashes:

16He shall remove the bird's crop and its feathers and throw them on the east side of the altar, where the ashes are kept.

17and he shall rend it by the wings thereof, but shall not divide it asunder. And the priest shall burn it upon the altar, upon the wood that is upon the fire: it is a burnt-offering, an offering made by fire, of a sweet savor unto Jehovah.

17He shall tear it open by its wings without pulling it apart completely. Then the priest shall burn it on the altar, on the wood that is on the fire. It is a burnt offering, a food offering with a pleasing aroma to the LORD.
