Leviticus 1:6-15 Common English Bible (CEB)

6. Then the entirely burned offering will be skinned and cut up into pieces.

7. The sons of Aaron the priest will light the altar and lay wood on the fire.

8. Then Aaron’s sons the priests will arrange the pieces, the head, and the fat on the wood that is on the altar fire,

9. but the animal’s insides and lower legs must be washed with water. The priest will then completely burn all of it on the altar as an entirely burned offering, a food gift of soothing smell to the Lord.

10. If the offering is an entirely burned offering from the flock—whether sheep or goat—you must present a flawless male.

11. You must slaughter it on the north side of the altar before the Lord. Aaron’s sons the priests will toss its blood against every side of the altar.

12. Once it has been cut into pieces, including the head and the fat, the priest will arrange these out on the wood that is on the altar fire,

13. but its insides and lower legs must be washed with water. Then the priest will present all of it and completely burn it on the altar. It is an entirely burned offering, a food gift of soothing smell to the Lord.

14. If the offering for the Lord is an entirely burned offering from the birds, you can present your offering from the doves or pigeons.

15. The priest will bring it to the altar. He will tear off its head and completely burn it on the altar. Its blood will be drained against the side of the altar.
