Vayikra 1:1-10 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

1. And Hashem spoke unto Moshe, and spoke unto him out of the Ohel Mo'ed (Tent of Meeting, i.e., Tabernacle) saying,

2. Speak unto the Bnei Yisroel, and say unto them, If any man of you bring a korban unto Hashem, ye shall bring your korban of the cattle, even of the herd, and of the flock.

3. If his korban be an olah (burnt sacrifice) of the herd, let him offer a zachar tamim (male without blemish); he shall offer it that he may be accepted at the entrance of the Ohel Mo'ed before Hashem.

4. And he shall lay his hand upon the head of the olah (burnt offering); and it shall be accepted for him to make kapparah for him.

5. And he shall slaughter (shachat) the young bull before Hashem; and the kohanim, Aharon's banim, shall bring the dahm, and sprinkle the dahm around upon the Mizbe'ach that is by the entrance of the Ohel Mo'ed.

6. And he shall skin the olah, and cut it into pieces.

7. And the Bnei Aharon the kohen shall put eish upon the Mizbe'ach, and lay the wood in order upon the eish;

8. And the kohanim, Aharon's banim, shall lay the parts, the head, and the fat, in order upon the wood that is on the eish which is upon the Mizbe'ach:

9. But his innards and his legs shall he wash in mayim; and the kohen shall burn the whole on the Mizbe'ach, to be an olah, an offering made by eish, of a re'ach nicho'ach (sweet savour) unto Hashem.

10. And if his korban be of the flocks, namely, of the sheep, or of the goats, for an olah (burnt offering); he shall bring it a zachar tamim (male without blemish).
