| 1Then the LORD called to Moses and spoke to him from the Meeting Tent: | 1Then the LORD summoned Moses and spoke to him from the tent of meeting:" |
| 2"Speak to the Israelites and tell them, 'When someone among you presents an offering to the LORD, you must present your offering from the domesticated animals, either from the herd or from the flock. | 2Speak to the Israelites and tell them: When any of you brings an offering to the LORD from the livestock, you may bring your offering from the herd or the flock." |
| 3"'If his offering is a burnt offering from the herd he must present it as a flawless male; he must present it at the entrance of the Meeting Tent for its acceptance before the LORD. | 3If his gift is a burnt offering from the herd, he is to bring an unblemished male. He must bring it to the entrance to the tent of meeting so that he may be accepted by the LORD. |
| 4He must lay his hand on the head of the burnt offering, and it will be accepted for him to make atonement on his behalf. | 4He is to lay his hand on the head of the burnt offering so it can be accepted on his behalf to make atonement for him. |
| 5Then the one presenting the offering must slaughter the bull before the LORD, and the sons of Aaron, the priests, must present the blood and splash the blood against the sides of the altar which is at the entrance of the Meeting Tent. | 5He is to slaughter the bull before the LORD; Aaron's sons the priests are to present the blood and sprinkle it on all sides of the altar that is at the entrance to the tent of meeting. |
| 6Next, the one presenting the offering must skin the burnt offering and cut it into parts, | 6Then he must skin the burnt offering and cut it into pieces. |
| 7and the sons of Aaron, the priest, must put fire on the altar and arrange wood on the fire. | 7The sons of Aaron the priest will prepare a fire on the altar and arrange wood on the fire. |
| 8Then the sons of Aaron, the priests, must arrange the parts with the head and the suet on the wood that is in the fire on the altar. | 8Aaron's sons the priests are to arrange the pieces, the head, and the suet on top of the burning wood on the altar. |
| 9Finally, the one presenting the offering must wash its entrails and its legs in water and the priest must offer all of it up in smoke on the altar--it is a burnt offering, a gift of a soothing aroma to the LORD. | 9The offerer must wash its entrails and shanks with water. Then the priest will burn all of it on the altar as a burnt offering, a fire offering of a pleasing aroma to the LORD." |
| 10"'If his offering is from the flock for a burnt offering--from the sheep or the goats--he must present a flawless male, | 10But if his gift for a burnt offering is from the flock, from sheep or goats, he is to present an unblemished male. |
| 11and must slaughter it on the north side of the altar before the LORD, and the sons of Aaron, the priests, will splash its blood against the altar's sides. | 11He will slaughter it on the north side of the altar before the LORD. Aaron's sons the priests will sprinkle its blood against the altar on all sides. |
| 12Next, the one presenting the offering must cut it into parts, with its head and its suet, and the priest must arrange them on the wood which is in the fire, on the altar. | 12He will cut the animal into pieces with its head and its suet, and the priest will arrange them on top of the burning wood on the altar. |
| 13Then the one presenting the offering must wash the entrails and the legs in water, and the priest must present all of it and offer it up in smoke on the altar--it is a burnt offering, a gift of a soothing aroma to the LORD. | 13But he is to wash the entrails and shanks with water. The priest will then present all of it and burn it on the altar; it is a burnt offering, a fire offering of a pleasing aroma to the LORD." |
| 14"'If his offering to the LORD is a burnt offering from the birds, he must present his offering from the turtledoves or from the young pigeons. | 14If his gift to the LORD is a burnt offering of birds, he is to present his offering from the turtledoves or young pigeons. |
| 15The priest must present it at the altar, pinch off its head and offer the head up in smoke on the altar, and its blood must be drained out against the side of the altar. | 15Then the priest must bring it to the altar, and must twist off its head and burn it on the altar; its blood should be drained at the side of the altar. |
| 16Then the priest must remove its entrails by cutting off its tail feathers, and throw them to the east side of the altar into the place of fatty ashes, | 16He will remove its digestive tract, cutting off the tail feathers, and throw it on the east side of the altar at the place for ashes. |
| 17and tear it open by its wings without dividing it into two parts. Finally, the priest must offer it up in smoke on the altar on the wood which is in the fire--it is a burnt offering, a gift of a soothing aroma to the LORD. | 17He will tear it open by its wings without dividing the bird. Then the priest is to burn it on the altar on top of the burning wood. It is a burnt offering, a fire offering of a pleasing aroma to the LORD." |
