Leviticus - Chapter 1 | American Standard Version

  • 1. And Jehovah called unto Moses, and spake unto him out of the tent of meeting, saying,
  • 2. Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When any man of you offereth an oblation unto Jehovah, ye shall offer your oblation of the cattle, {cf15i even} of the herd and of the flock.
  • 3. If his oblation be a burnt-offering of the herd, he shall offer it a male without blemish: he shall offer it at the door of the tent of meeting, that he may be accepted before Jehovah.
  • 4. And he shall lay his hand upon the head of the burnt-offering; and it shall be accepted for him to make atonement for him.
  • 5. And he shall kill the bullock before Jehovah: and Aaron's sons, the priests, shall present the blood, and sprinkle the blood round about upon the altar that is at the door of the tent of meeting.
  • 6. And he shall flay the burnt-offering, and cut it into its pieces.
  • 7. And the sons of Aaron the priest shall put fire upon the altar, and lay wood in order upon the fire;
  • 8. and Aaron's sons, the priests, shall lay the pieces, the head, and the fat, in order upon the wood that is on the fire which is upon the altar:
  • 9. but its inwards and its legs shall he wash with water: and the priest shall burn the whole on the altar, for a burnt-offering, an offering made by fire, of a sweet savor unto Jehovah.
  • 10. And if his oblation be of the flock, of the sheep, or of the goats, for a burnt-offering; he shall offer it a male without blemish.
  • 11. And he shall kill it on the side of the altar northward before Jehovah: and Aaron's sons, the priests, shall sprinkle its blood upon the altar round about.
  • 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 which is upon the altar:
  • 13. but the inwards and the legs shall he wash with water; and the priest shall offer the whole, and burn it upon the altar: it is a burnt-offering, an offering made by fire, of a sweet savor unto Jehovah.
  • 14. And if his oblation to Jehovah be a burnt-offering of birds, then he shall offer his oblation of turtle-doves, or of young pigeons.
  • 15. And the priest shall bring it unto the altar, and wring off its head, and burn it on the altar; and the blood thereof shall be drained out on the side of the altar;
  • 16. and he shall take away its crop with the filth thereof, and cast it beside the altar on the east part, in the place of the ashes:
  • 17. and he shall rend it by the wings thereof, {cf15i 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-offering, an offering made by fire, of a sweet savor unto Jehovah.
