10. “If you offer a sheep or a goat as a burnt offering, it must be a male that has nothing wrong with it.
11. You must kill the animal on the north side of the altar in front of the Lord. Then Aaron’s sons, the priests, will splash the animal’s blood on all four sides of the altar.
12. You must cut the animal into pieces and remove the head and the fat. The priest will then lay them on the wood that is on the fire of the altar.
13. You must wash the legs and inner parts of the animal with water. Then the priest will bring all these parts to the altar to be offered as a burnt offering, a sweet-smelling gift to the Lord.
14. “If you offer a bird as a burnt offering to the Lord, that bird must be a dove or a young pigeon.
15. The priest will bring the offering to the altar. There the priest will remove the bird’s head, drain out the blood on the side of the altar, and burn the bird on the altar.
16. He will remove the bird’s tail and inner parts and throw them onto the pile of ashes east of the altar.
17. Then the priest will tear the bird open by its wings, but he must not divide it completely into two parts. So he will bring the bird to the altar to be offered as a burnt offering, a sweet-smelling gift to the Lord.
