| 1And the LORD called unto Moses, and spake unto him out of the tabernacle of the congregation, saying, | 1The LORD told Moses from the middle of the Tent of Meeting, |
| 2Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, If any man of you bring an offering unto the LORD, ye shall bring your offering of the cattle, even of the herd, and of the flock. | 2"Speak to the Israelis and tell them that when any person brings an offering to the LORD from among you, whether he brings on offering of animals from either cattle or flock, |
| 3If his offering be a burnt sacrifice of the herd, let him offer a male without blemish: he shall offer it of his own voluntary will at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation before the LORD. | 3if his offering is a burnt offering from the herd, he is to bring a male without any defect. He is to present it at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting. At the appointed time, it is to be presented in the presence of the LORD so that he may be accepted. |
| 4And he shall put 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 for him as an atonement on his behalf. |
| 5And he shall kill the bullock before the LORD: and the priests, Aaron's sons, shall bring the blood, and sprinkle the blood round about upon the altar that is by the door of the tabernacle of the congregation. | 5Then he is to slaughter the young bull in the LORD's presence." "Aaron's sons, the priests, are to bring the blood and sprinkle it around the altar that stands at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting. |
| 6And he shall flay the burnt offering, and cut it into his pieces. | 6He is to skin the burnt offering and cut it into pieces. |
| 7And the sons of Aaron the priest shall put fire upon the altar, and lay the wood in order upon the fire: | 7Aaron's sons, the priests, are to build a fire on the altar and arrange the wood over the fire. |
| 8And the priests, Aaron's sons, shall lay the parts, the head, and the fat, in order upon the wood that is on the fire which is upon the altar: | 8They are to arrange the pieces of meat—including the head and the fat—on the wood over the fire that burns on the altar. |
| 9But his inwards and his legs shall he wash in water: and the priest shall burn all on the altar, to be a burnt sacrifice, an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the LORD. | 9Then he is to wash its entrails and legs with water. After this, the priest is to offer all of it on the altar—a burnt offering by fire, an aroma that will be pleasing to the LORD." |
| 10And if his offering be of the flocks, namely, of the sheep, or of the goats, for a burnt sacrifice; he shall bring it a male without blemish. | 10"If his offering is a burnt offering from the flock, whether lamb or goat, he is to bring a male without any defect |
| 11And he shall kill it on the side of the altar northward before the LORD: and the priests, Aaron's sons, shall sprinkle his blood round about upon the altar. | 11and slaughter it at the north side of the altar in the LORD's presence. Then Aaron's sons, the priests, are to sprinkle its blood around the altar. |
| 12And he shall cut it into his pieces, with his head and his fat: and the priest shall lay them in order on the wood that is on the fire which is upon the altar: | 12He is to cut up its head and fat into separate pieces arrange them in rows on the wood over the fire that burns on the altar, |
| 13But he shall wash the inwards and the legs with water: and the priest shall bring it all, and burn it upon the altar: it is a burnt sacrifice, an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the LORD. | 13wash its entrails and legs with water, and then offer all of it on the altar—a burnt offering by fire, an aroma that will be pleasing to the LORD." |
| 14And if the burnt sacrifice for his offering to the LORD be of fowls, then he shall bring his offering of turtledoves, or of young pigeons. | 14"If his offering is a burnt offering of birds to the LORD, he is to bring turtledoves or young doves. |
| 15And the priest shall bring it unto the altar, and wring off his head, and burn it on the altar; and the blood thereof shall be wrung out at the side of the altar: | 15The priest is to bring it to the altar to offer it up in smoke. He is to decapitate it and drain its blood on the side of the altar, |
| 16And he shall pluck away his crop with his feathers, and cast it beside the altar on the east part, by the place of the ashes: | 16and then he is to eviscerate it and throw the viscera and the feathers to the east side of the altar, where the fatty ashes are located. |
| 17And he shall cleave it with 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 sacrifice, an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the LORD. | 17He is then to tear it open by its wings, but not divide it completely into two parts. The priest is then to offer all of it on the wood over the fire as a burnt offering by fire, an aroma pleasing to the LORD." |
