1. So the Lord called out to Moses from inside the Meeting Tent and said,
2. “Tell the Israelites: When you bring an offering to the Lord, the offering must be one of your tame animals—it can be a sheep, a goat, or one of your cattle.
3. “If you offer one of your cattle as a burnt offering, it must be a bull that has nothing wrong with it. You must take the animal to the entrance of the Meeting Tent where the Lord will accept the offering.
4. You must put your hand on the animal’s head while it is being killed. So the Lord will accept it as your burnt offering to make you pure.
5. “You must kill the young bull in front of the Lord. Then Aaron’s sons, the priests, will bring the blood to the altar that is near the entrance of the Meeting Tent. He will splash the blood on all four sides of the altar.
6. You must remove the skin from that animal and then cut the animal into pieces.
7. Aaron’s sons, the priests, will put the fire on the altar and arrange the wood on the fire.
