1-3. The Lord spoke to Moses from the sacred tent and gave him instructions for the community of Israel to follow when they offered sacrifices.Sacrifices to please me must be completely burnt on the bronze altar.Bulls or rams or goats are the animals to be used for these sacrifices. If the animal is a bull, it must not have anything wrong with it. Lead it to the entrance of the sacred tent, and I will let you know if it is acceptable to me.
4. Lay your hand on its head, and I will accept the animal as a sacrifice for taking away your sins.
5. After the bull is killed in my presence, some priests from Aaron's family will offer its blood to me by splattering it against the four sides of the altar.
6. Skin the bull and cut it up,
7. while the priests pile wood on the altar fire to make it start blazing.
8-9. Wash the bull's insides and hind legs, so the priests can lay them on the altar with the head, the fat, and the rest of the animal. A priest will then send all of it up in smoke with a smell that pleases me.
10. If you sacrifice a ram or a goat, it must not have anything wrong with it.
