* Jehovah called to Moses . He spoke to him from the Tent of Meeting , He said : * »Tell the Israelites : ‘When you bring an offering to Jehovah , bring your offering of animals from the herd or the flock . * »‘If his offering is a burnt offering from the herd , it should be a male without defect . He shall offer it at the doorway of the Tent of Meeting , that he may be accepted before Jehovah . * »‘He should lay his hand on the head of the burnt offering . It may then be accepted for him to make atonement with Jehovah on his behalf . * »‘Slaughter the bull in Jehovah ’s presence . Aaron 's sons , the priests , will offer the blood . They will throw it against all sides of the altar that is at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting . * »‘Skin the burnt offering , and cut it into pieces . * »‘The sons of the priest Aaron will start a fire on the altar and lay the wood on the fire . * »‘Aaron 's sons , the priests , will also lay the pieces , the head , and the fat on top of the wood burning on the altar . * »‘Wash the internal organs and legs . The priest will then burn all of it on the altar . It is a burnt offering , an offering by fire , a soothing aroma to Jehovah . * »‘Should you are offer one of your sheep or goats ; it must be a male without any defects . * »‘Slaughter it on the north side of the altar . The priests should throw its blood on all four sides of the altar . * »‘After you cut it up , the officiating priest will lay them in order on the wood that is on the fire . * »‘Wash the internal organs and the hind legs . The priest will present the sacrifice to Jehovah and burn all of it on the altar . The odor of this food offering is pleasing to Jehovah . * »‘If you are offering a bird as a burnt offering , it must be a dove or a pigeon . * »‘A priest will take the bird to the copper altar . He will wring its neck and put its head on the fire . Then he will drain out its blood on one side of the altar , * »‘Remove the bird 's crop with its feathers , and throw them on the ash heap at the east side of the altar . * »‘Finally , he will take the bird by its wings , tear it partially open , and send it up in smoke with a smell that pleases Jehovah .
