| 1The LORD called to Moses and spoke to him from the tent of meeting. He said, | 1Then the LORD summoned Moses and spoke to him from the tent of meeting:" |
| 2"Speak to the Israelites and say to them: 'When anyone among you brings an offering to the LORD, bring as your offering an animal from either the herd or 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 the offering is a burnt offering from the herd, you are to offer a male without defect. You must present it at the entrance to the tent of meeting so that it will be acceptable to 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. |
| 4You are to lay your hand on the head of the burnt offering, and it will be accepted on your behalf to make atonement for you. | 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. |
| 5You are to slaughter the young bull before the LORD, and then Aaron's sons the priests shall bring the blood and splash it against the sides of the altar at the entrance to the tent of meeting. | 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. |
| 6You are to skin the burnt offering and cut it into pieces. | 6Then he must skin the burnt offering and cut it into pieces. |
| 7The sons of Aaron the priest are to 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. |

| 9You are to wash the internal organs and the legs with water, and the priest is to burn all of it on the altar. It is a burnt offering, a food offering, an aroma pleasing 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 the offering is a burnt offering from the flock, from either the sheep or the goats, you are to offer a male without defect. | 10But if his gift for a burnt offering is from the flock, from sheep or goats, he is to present an unblemished male. |
| 11You are to slaughter it at the north side of the altar before the LORD, and Aaron's sons the priests shall splash its blood against the sides of the altar. | 11He will slaughter it on the north side of the altar before the LORD.

It is a burnt offering, a food offering, an aroma pleasing 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 the offering to the LORD is a burnt offering of birds, you are to offer a dove or a young pigeon. | 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 shall bring it to the altar, wring off the head and burn it on the altar; its blood shall be drained out on 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. |
| 16He is to remove the crop and the feathers and throw them down east of the altar where the ashes are. | 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. |
| 17He shall tear it open by the wings, not dividing it completely, and then the priest shall burn it on the wood that is burning on the altar. It is a burnt offering, a food offering, an aroma pleasing 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." |
