Leviticus 1:3-13 God's Word Translation (GW)

3. “If you bring a burnt offering from your cattle, you must offer a male that has no defects. Offer it at the entrance to the tent of meeting so that the Lord will accept you.

4. Place your hand on the animal’s head. The burnt offering will be accepted to make peace with the Lord.

5. Then slaughter the bull in the Lord’s presence. Aaron’s sons, the priests, will offer the blood. They will throw it against all sides of the altar that is at the entrance to the tent of meeting.

6. Skin the burnt offering, and cut it into pieces.

7. Then the sons of the priest Aaron will start a fire on the altar and lay the wood on the fire.

8. Aaron’s sons, the priests, will also lay the pieces, the head, and the fat on top of the wood burning on the altar.

9. Wash the internal organs and legs. Then the priest will burn all of it on the altar. It is a burnt offering, an offering by fire, a soothing aroma to the Lord.

10. “If your offering is a sheep or goat, you must bring a male that has no defects.

11. Slaughter it in the Lord’s presence on the north side of the altar. Aaron’s sons, the priests, will throw the blood against the altar on all sides.

12. Then cut it into pieces. The priest will lay the head and the fat on the wood burning on the altar.

13. Wash the internal organs and legs. Then the priest will burn all of it on the altar. It is a burnt offering, an offering by fire, a soothing aroma to the Lord.
