Leviticus 1:2 - Forerunner Commentary

Leviticus 1:2

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.

7 The sons of Aaron the priest shall put ^afire on the altar, and ^blay 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 ^asweet 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 ^awithout blemish.

11 ^aHe 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 ^aoffering 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 ^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.
