Leviticus, Chapter 1

1:1 And Yahweh called to Moses, and spoke to him out of the tent of meeting, saying,
1:2 Speak to the sons of Israel, and say to them, If man among you+ offers an oblation to Yahweh, you+ will offer your+ oblation of the cattle, [even] of the herd and of the flock.
1:3 If his oblation is a burnt-offering of the herd, he will offer it a male without blemish: he will offer it at the door of the tent of meeting, that he may be accepted before Yahweh.
1:4 And he will lay his hand on the head of the burnt-offering; and it will be accepted for him to make atonement for him.
1:5 And he will kill the bull before Yahweh: and Aaron's sons, the priests, will present the blood, and sprinkle the blood round about on the altar that is at the door of the tent of meeting.
1:6 And he will flay the burnt-offering, and cut it into its pieces.
1:7 And the sons of Aaron the priest will put fire on the altar, and lay wood in order on the fire;
1:8 and Aaron's sons, the priests, will lay the pieces, the head, and the fat, in order on the wood that is on the fire which is on the altar:
1:9 but its insides and its legs he will wash with water: and the priest will burn the whole on the altar, for a burnt-offering, an offering made by fire, of a sweet savor to Yahweh.
1:10 And if his oblation is of the flock, of the sheep, or of the goats, for a burnt-offering; he will offer it a male without blemish.
1:11 And he will kill it on the side of the altar northward before Yahweh: and Aaron's sons, the priests, will sprinkle its blood on the altar round about.
1:12 And he will cut it into its pieces, with its head and its fat; and the priest will lay them in order on the wood that is on the fire which is on the altar:
1:13 but the insides and the legs he will wash with water; and the priest will offer the whole, and burn it on the altar: it is a burnt-offering, an offering made by fire, of a sweet savor to Yahweh.
1:14 And if his oblation to Yahweh is a burnt-offering of birds, then he will offer his oblation of turtledoves, or of young pigeons.
1:15 And the priest will bring it to the altar, and wring off its head, and burn it on the altar; and its blood will be drained out on the side of the altar;
1:16 and he will take away its crop with its filth, and cast it beside the altar on the east part, in the place of the ashes:
1:17 and he will rend it by its wings, [but] will not divide it apart; and the priest will burn it on the altar, on the wood that is on the fire: it is a burnt-offering, an offering made by fire, of a sweet savor to Yahweh.
