Leviticus Chapter 1

Leviticus Chapter 1
1 Now the Lord called Moses, and
spake unto him out of the tabernacle of
the congregation, saying,
2 Speak unto the children of Israel, and
thou shalt say unto them, If any of you
offer a sacrifice unto the Lord, ye shall
offer your sacrifice of cattle, as of
beeves and of the sheep.
3 If his sacrifice be a burnt offering of
the herd, he shall offer a male without
blemish, presenting him of his own
voluntary will at the door of the
tabernacle of the congregation before the
Lord.
4 And he shall put his hand upon the
head of the burnt offering, and it shall be
accepted to the Lord, to be his
atonement.
5 And he shall kill the bullock before the
Lord, and the priests, Aaron’s sons,
shall offer the blood, and shall sprinkle
it round about upon the altar, that is by
the door of the tabernacle of the
congregation.
6 Then shall he flay the burnt offering,
and cut it in pieces.
7 So the sons of Aaron the priest shall
put fire upon the altar, and lay the wood
in order upon the fire.
8 Then the priests Aaron’s sons shall lay
the parts in order, the head and the caul
upon the wood that is in the fire which is
upon the altar. 9 But the inwards thereof
and the legs thereof he shall wash in
water, and the priest shall burn all on the
altar: for it is a burnt offering, an
oblation made by fire, for a sweet savor
unto the Lord.
10 And if his sacrifice for the burnt
offering be of the flocks ( as of the
sheep, or of the goats) he shall offer a
male without blemish,
11 And he shall kill it on the north side
of the altar before the Lord, and the
priests Aaron’s sons shall sprinkle the
blood thereof round about upon the altar.
12 And he shall cut it in pieces ,
separating his head and his caul, and the
priest shall lay them in order upon the
wood that lieth in the fire which is on
the altar:
13 But he shall wash the inwards, and
the legs with water, and the priest shall
offer the whole and burn it upon the
altar: for it is a burnt offering, an
oblation made by fire for a sweet savor
unto the Lord.
14 And if his sacrifice be a burnt
offering to the Lord of the fowls, then he
shall offer his sacrifice of the
turtledoves, or of the young pigeons. 15
And the priest shall bring it unto the
altar, and wring the neck of it asunder,
and burn it on the altar: and the blood
thereof shall be shed upon the side of the
altar.
16 And he shall pluck out his maw with
his feathers, and cast them beside the
altar on the east part in the place of the
ashes.
17 And he shall cleave it with his wings,
but not divide it asunder: and the priest
shall burn it upon the altar upon the
wood that is in the fire: for it is a burnt
offering, an oblation made by fire for a
sweet savor unto the Lord.
