1 The Burnt Offering Now the Lord Ex. 19:3; 25:22; Num. 7:89 called to Moses, and spoke to him Ex. 40:34 from the tabernacle of meeting, saying,
2 “Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them: Lev. 22:18, 19 ‘When any one of you brings an offering to the Lord , you shall bring your offering of the livestock—of the herd and of the flock.
3 ‘If his offering is a burnt sacrifice of the herd, let him offer a male Ex. 12:5; Lev. 22:20–24; Deut. 15:21; Eph. 5:27; Heb. 9:14;1 Pet. 1:19 without blemish; he shall offer it of his own free will at the door of the tabernacle of meeting before the Lord .
4 Ex. 29:10, 15, 19; Lev. 3:2, 8, 13; 4:15 Then he shall put his hand on the head of the burnt offering, and it will be (Rom. 12:1); Phil. 4:18 accepted on his behalf Lev. 4:20, 26, 31;2 Chr. 29:23, 24 to make atonement for him.
5 He shall kill the Mic. 6:6 bull before the Lord ; 2 Chr. 35:11 and the priests, Aaron’s sons, shall bring the blood Lev. 1:11; 3:2, 8, 13; (Heb. 12:24;1 Pet. 1:2) and sprinkle the blood all around on the altar that is by the door of the tabernacle of meeting.
6 And he shall Lev. 7:8 skin the burnt offering and cut it into its pieces.
7 The sons of Aaron the priest shall put Lev. 6:8–13; Mal. 1:10 fire on the altar, and Gen. 22:9 lay the wood in order on the fire.
8 Then the priests, Aaron’s sons, shall lay the parts, the head, and the fat in order on the wood that is on the fire upon the altar;
9 but he shall wash its entrails and its legs with water. And the priest shall burn all on the altar as a burnt sacrifice, an offering made by fire, a Gen. 8:21; (Ezek. 20:28, 41;2 Cor. 2:15) sweet aroma to the Lord .
10 ‘If his offering is of the flocks—of the sheep or of the goats—as a burnt sacrifice, he shall bring a male Ex. 12:5; Lev. 1:3; Ezek. 43:22; (1 Pet. 1:19) without blemish.
11 Ex. 24:6; 40:22; Lev. 1:5; Ezek. 8:5 He shall kill it on the north side of the altar before the Lord ; and the priests, Aaron’s sons, shall sprinkle its blood all around on the altar.
12 And he shall cut it into its pieces, with its head and its fat; and the priest shall lay them in order on the wood that is on the fire upon the altar;
13 but he shall wash the entrails and the legs with water. Then the priest shall bring it all and burn it on the altar; it is a burnt sacrifice, an Num. 15:4–7; 28:12–14 offering made by fire, a sweet aroma to the Lord .
14 ‘And if the burnt sacrifice of his offering to the Lord is of birds, then he shall bring his offering of Gen. 15:9; Lev. 5:7, 11; 12:8; Luke 2:24 turtledoves or young pigeons.
15 The priest shall bring it to the altar, wring off its head, and burn it on the altar; its blood shall be drained out at the side of the altar.
16 And he shall remove its crop with its feathers and cast it Lev. 6:10 beside the altar on the east side, into the place for ashes.
17 Then he shall split it at its wings, but Gen. 15:10; Lev. 5:8 shall not divide it completely; and the priest shall burn it on the altar, on the wood that is on the fire. Lev. 1:9, 13 It is a burnt sacrifice, an offering made by fire, a sweet aroma to the Lord .
