| 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. | 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, |
| 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 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. |
| 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, and it will be accepted for him as an atonement on his behalf. |
| 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. | 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. |
| 6Next, the one presenting the offering must skin the burnt offering and cut it into parts, | 6He is to 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. | 7Aaron's sons, the priests, are to build a fire on the altar and arrange the wood over 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. | 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. |
| 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. | 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." |

| 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. | 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." |
| 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. | 14"If his offering is a burnt offering of birds to the LORD, he is to bring turtledoves or young doves. |
| 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. | 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, |
| 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, | 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 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 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." |
