* "
If his offering is a burnt offering from the herd ,
he shall offer a male without blemish ;
he shall offer it at the door of the tent of meeting ,
that he may be accepted before the LORD ;
*
he shall lay his hand upon the head of the burnt offering ,
and it shall be accepted for him to make atonement for him .
*
Then he shall kill the bull before the LORD ;
and Aaron '
s sons the priests shall present the blood ,
and throw the blood round about against the altar that is at the door of the tent of meeting .
*
And he shall flay the burnt offering and cut it into pieces ;
*
and the sons of Aaron the priest shall put fire on the altar ,
and lay wood in order upon the fire ;
*
and Aaron '
s sons the priests shall lay the pieces ,
the head ,
and the fat ,
in order upon the wood that is on the fire upon the altar ;
*
but its entrails and its legs he shall wash with water .
And the priest shall burn the whole on the altar ,
as a burnt offering ,
an offering by fire ,
a pleasing odor to the LORD .
* "
If his gift for a burnt offering is from the flock ,
from the sheep or goats ,
he shall offer a male without blemish ;
*
and he shall kill it on the north side of the altar before the LORD ,
and Aaron '
s sons the priests shall throw its blood against the altar round about .
*
And he shall cut it into pieces ,
with its head and its fat ,
and the priest shall lay them in order upon the wood that is on the fire upon the altar ;
*
but the entrails and the legs he shall wash with water .
And the priest shall offer the whole ,
and burn it on the altar ;
it is a burnt offering ,
an offering by fire ,
a pleasing odor to the LORD .

If his offering to the LORD is a burnt offering of birds ,
then he shall bring his offering of turtledoves or of young pigeons .
*
And the priest shall bring it to the altar and wring off its head ,
and burn it on the altar ;
and its blood shall be drained out on the side of the altar ;
*
and he shall take away its crop with the feathers ,
and cast it beside the altar on the east side ,
in the place for ashes ;
*
he shall tear it by its wings ,
but shall not divide it asunder .
And the priest shall burn it on the altar ,
upon the wood that is on the fire ;
it is a burnt offering ,
an offering by fire ,
a pleasing odor to the LORD .
