| 1The LORD called to Moses from the Tabernacle and said to him, | 1The LORD told Moses from the middle of the Tent of Meeting, |
| 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. | 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 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. | 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. |
| 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. | 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 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. | 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. |
| 6Then skin the animal and cut it into pieces. | 6He is to skin the burnt offering and cut it into pieces. |
| 7The sons of Aaron the priest will build a wood fire on the altar. | 7Aaron's sons, the priests, are to build a fire on the altar and arrange the wood over the fire. |
| 8They will arrange the pieces of the offering, including the head and fat, on the wood burning 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. |
| 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. | 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." |
| 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. | 10"If his offering is a burnt offering from the flock, whether lamb or goat, he is to bring a male without any defect |
| 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. | 11and slaughter it at the north side of the altar in the LORD's presence. Then Aaron's sons, the priests, are to sprinkle its blood around 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. | 12He is to cut up its head and fat into separate pieces arrange them in rows on the wood over the fire that burns on the altar, |
| 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. | 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 you present a bird as a burnt offering to the LORD, choose either a turtledove or a young pigeon. | 14"If his offering is a burnt offering of birds to the LORD, he is to bring turtledoves or young doves. |
| 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. | 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, |
| 16The priest must also remove the crop and the feathers and throw them in the ashes on the east side of the altar. | 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. |
| 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. | 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." |
