LEVITICUS
Five most important offerings or sacrifices
1
📚And the LORD called to Moses, and spoke to him out of the tabernacle of the congregation, saying, 2 📚✭“Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them, If any man of you brings an offering to the LORD, you shall bring your offering of animals from the herd, and from the flock.3 📚✭“If his offering is a burnt sacrifice from the herd, let him offer a male without blemish✭. He shall offer it of his own voluntary will at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation before the LORD. 4 📚✭And he shall put his hand on the head of the burnt offering, and it shall be accepted for him to make atonement✭ for him. 5 📚✭And he shall kill the young ox before the LORD. And the priests, Aaron’s sons, shall bring the blood, and sprinkle the blood all around on the altar that is by the door of the tabernacle of the congregation. 6 📚✭And he shall skin the burnt offering, and cut it into its pieces. 7 📚✭And the sons of Aaron the priest shall put fire on the altar, and arrange the wood on the fire. 8 📚✭And the priests, Aaron’s sons, shall arrange the parts, the head, and the fat, on the wood that is on the fire which is on the altar, 9 📚but he shall wash✭ its inner parts and its legs in water. And the priest shall burn all of it on the altar as a burnt offering, an offering made by fire of a soothing✭ aroma to the LORD.
10 📚“And if his offering is a burnt offering from the flocks, from the sheep✭ or from the goats✭, he shall bring a male without blemish. 11 📚And he 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 arrange them on the wood that is on the fire which is on the altar, 13 📚✭but he shall wash the inner parts and the legs with water. And the priest shall bring it all and burn it on the altar. It is a burnt offering, an offering made by fire, of a soothing aroma to the LORD.
14 📚✭“And if his offering to the LORD is a burnt offering of birds, then he shall bring his offering from doves or from young pigeons. 15 📚And the priest shall bring it to the altar, and wring off its head and burn it on the altar. And its blood shall be drained out at the side of the altar. 16 📚And he shall take away its crop with its feathers, and throw it beside the altar on the east side, by the place of the ashes. 17 📚✭And he shall tear it by its wings, but shall not divide it completely in two. And the priest shall 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 soothing aroma to the LORD.
