New Living Translation

1The LORD called to Moses and spoke to him from the tent of meeting. He said,

1The LORD called to Moses from the Tabernacle and said to him,

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.

2“Give the following instructions to the people of Israel. When you present an animal as an offering to the LORD, you may take it from your herd of cattle or your flock of sheep and goats.

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.

3“If the animal you present as a burnt offering is from the herd, it must be a male with no defects. Bring it to the entrance of the Tabernacle so you 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.

4Lay your hand on the animal’s head, and the LORD will accept its death in your place to purify you, making you right with 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.

5Then slaughter the young bull in the LORD’s presence, and Aaron’s sons, the priests, will present the animal’s blood by splattering it against all sides of the altar that stands at the entrance to the Tabernacle.

6You are to skin the burnt offering and cut it into pieces.

6Then skin the animal 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 build a wood fire on 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.

8They will arrange the pieces of the offering, including the head and fat, on the wood burning on the altar.

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.

9But the internal organs and the legs must first be washed with water. Then the priest will burn the entire sacrifice on the altar as a burnt offering. It is a special gift, 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.

10“If the animal you present as a burnt offering is from the flock, it may be either a sheep or a goat, but it must be a male with no defects.

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.

11Slaughter the animal on the north side of the altar in the LORD’s presence, and Aaron’s sons, the priests, will splatter its blood against all sides of the altar.

12You are to cut it into pieces, and the priest shall arrange them, including the head and the fat, on the wood that is burning on the altar.

12Then cut the animal in pieces, and the priests will arrange the pieces of the offering, including the head and fat, on the wood burning on the altar.

13You are to wash the internal organs and the legs with water, and the priest is to bring all of them and burn them on the altar. It is a burnt offering, a food offering, an aroma pleasing to the LORD.

13But the internal organs and the legs must first be washed with water. Then the priest will burn the entire sacrifice on the altar as a burnt offering. It is a special gift, 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.

14“If you present a bird as a burnt offering to the LORD, choose either a turtledove or a young pigeon.

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.

15The priest will take the bird to the altar, wring off its head, and burn it on the altar. But first he must drain its blood against 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.

16The priest must also remove the crop and the feathers and throw them in the ashes on the east side of the altar.

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.

17Then, grasping the bird by its wings, the priest will tear the bird open, but without tearing it apart. Then he will burn it as a burnt offering on the wood burning on the altar. It is a special gift, a pleasing aroma to the LORD.
