Leviticus 1:7-15 Douay-Rheims Challoner Revision 1752 (DRC1752)

7. And shall put fire on the altar, having before laid in order a pile of wood:

8. And they shall lay the parts that are cut out in order thereupon, to wit, the head, and all things that cleave to the liver,

9. The entrails and feet being washed with water: and the priest shall burn them upon the altar for a holocaust, and a sweet savour to the Lord.

10. And if the offering be of the hocks, a holocaust of sheep or of goats, he shall offer a male without blemish:

11. And he shall immolate it at the side of the altar that looketh to the north, before the Lord: but the sons of Aaron shall pour the blood thereof upon the altar round about:

12. And they shall divide the joints, the head, and all that cleave to the liver: and shall lay them upon the wood, under which the fire is to be put:

13. But the entrails and the feet they shall wash with water. And the priest shall offer it all and burn it all upon the altar for a holocaust, and most sweet savour to the Lord.

14. But if the oblation of a holocaust to the Lord be of birds, of turtles, or of young pigeons,

15. The priest shall offer it at the altar: and twisting back the neck, and breaking the place of the wound, he shall make the blood run down upon the brim of the altar.
