1. Then the Lord called to Moses and spoke to him from the Meeting Tent:
2. “Speak to the Israelites and tell them, ‘When someone among you presents an offering to the Lord, you must present your offering from the domesticated animals, either from the herd or from the flock.
3. “‘If his offering is a burnt offering from the herd he must present it as a flawless male; he must present it at the entrance of the Meeting Tent for its acceptance before the Lord.
4. He must lay his hand on the head of the burnt offering, and it will be accepted for him to make atonement on his behalf.
5. Then the one presenting the offering must slaughter the bull before the Lord, and the sons of Aaron, the priests, must present the blood and splash the blood against the sides of the altar which is at the entrance of the Meeting Tent.
6. Next, the one presenting the offering must skin the burnt offering and cut it into parts,
7. and the sons of Aaron, the priest, must put fire on the altar and arrange wood on the fire.
