Leviticus 1:16

14 ‘And if the burnt sacrifice of his offering to the Lord is of birds, then he shall bring his offering of ^aturtledoves or young pigeons.

15 The priest shall bring it to the altar,¹ 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 ^abeside the altar on the east side, into the place for ashes.

17 Then he shall split it at its wings, but ^ashall not divide it completely; and the priest shall burn it on the altar, on the wood that is on the fire. ^bIt is a burnt sacrifice, an offering made by fire, a¹ sweet aroma to the Lord.
