Leviticus 1:9-15 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

9. but the inner organs and the shanks shall be washed with water. The priest shall then burn all of it on the altar as a burnt offering, a sweet-smelling oblation to the Lord.

10. If a person’s burnt offering is from the flock, that is, a sheep or a goat, the offering must be a male without blemish.

11. It shall be slaughtered on the north side of the altar before the Lord, and Aaron’s sons, the priests, shall splash its blood on all the sides of the altar.

12. When it has been cut into pieces, the priest shall lay these, together with the head and suet, on top of the wood and the embers on the altar;

13. but the inner organs and the shanks shall be washed with water. The priest shall then offer all of it, burning it on the altar. It is a burnt offering, a sweet-smelling oblation to the Lord.

14. If a person offers a bird as a burnt offering to the Lord, the offering brought must be a turtledove or a pigeon.

15. Having brought it to the altar, the priest shall wring its head off and burn it on the altar. The blood shall be drained out against the side of the altar.
