The Burnt Offering

1 Now the Lord ^acalled to Moses, and spoke to him ^bfrom the tabernacle of meeting, saying,

2 “Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them: ^a‘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 ^awithout blemish; he shall offer it of his own free will at the door of the tabernacle of meeting before the Lord.

4 ^aThen he shall put his hand on the head of the burnt offering, and it will be ^baccepted on his behalf ^cto make atonement for him.

5 He shall kill the ^abull before the Lord; ^band the priests, Aaron’s sons, shall bring the blood ^cand sprinkle the blood all around on the altar that is by the door of the tabernacle of meeting.

6 And he shall ^askin the burnt offering and cut it into its pieces.
