| 1And the LORD called unto Moses, and spake unto him out of the tabernacle of the congregation, saying, | 1Then the LORD summoned Moses and spoke to him from 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 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. |
| 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. | 3"If his offering is a burnt offering from the herd, he is to bring an unblemished male. He will bring it to the entrance to the tent of meeting so that he may be accepted by the LORD. |
| 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 so it can be accepted on his behalf to make atonement for him. |
| 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. | 5He is to slaughter the bull before the LORD; Aaron's sons the priests are to present the blood and splatter it on all sides of the altar that is at the entrance to the tent of meeting. |
| 6And he shall flay the burnt offering, and cut it into his pieces. | 6Then he 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: | 7The sons of Aaron the priest will prepare a fire on the altar and arrange wood on 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: | 8Aaron's sons the priests are to arrange the pieces, the head, and the fat on top of the burning wood 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. | 9The offerer is to wash its entrails and legs 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. |
| 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"But if his offering for a burnt offering is from the flock, from sheep or goats, he is to present an unblemished male. |
| 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. | 11He will slaughter it on the north side of the altar before the LORD. Aaron's sons the priests will splatter its blood against the altar on all sides. |
| 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 will cut the animal into pieces with its head and its fat, and the priest will arrange them on top of the burning wood 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. | 13But he is to wash the entrails and legs 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. |
| 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 to the LORD is a burnt offering of birds, he is to present his offering from the turtledoves or young pigeons. |
| 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: | 15Then the priest is to bring it to the altar, and will twist off its head and burn it on the altar; its blood should be drained at 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: | 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 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 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. |
