Leviticus, starting at chapter 1
{1:1} [1>]Yahweh[<1] called to Moses, and spoke to him out of the
Tent of Meeting, saying, {1:2} "Speak to the children of Israel, and
tell them, 'When anyone of you offers an offering to Yahweh, you shall
offer your offering of the livestock, from the herd and from the flock.
{1:3} "'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 Yahweh. {1:4} He shall
lay his hand on the head of the burnt offering, and it shall be
accepted for him to make atonement for him. {1:5} He shall kill the
bull before Yahweh. Aaron's sons, the priests, shall present the blood
and sprinkle the blood around on the altar that is at the door of the
Tent of Meeting. {1:6} He shall flay the burnt offering, and cut it
into pieces. {1:7} The sons of Aaron the priest shall put fire on the
altar, and lay wood in order on the fire; {1:8} and Aaron's sons, the
priests, shall lay the pieces, the head, and the fat in order on the
wood that is on the fire which is on the altar; {1:9} but its innards
and its legs he shall wash with water. The priest shall burn the whole
on the altar, for a burnt offering, an offering made by fire, of a
pleasant aroma to Yahweh.
{1:10} "'If his offering is from the flock, from the sheep, or from
the goats, for a burnt offering, he shall offer a male without
blemish. {1:11} He shall kill it on the north side of the altar before
Yahweh. Aaron's sons, the priests, shall sprinkle its blood around on
the altar. {1:12} He shall cut it into its pieces, with its head and
its fat. The priest shall lay them in order on the wood that is on the
fire which is on the altar, {1:13} but the innards and the legs he
shall wash with water. The priest shall offer the whole, and burn it
on the altar. It is a burnt offering, an offering made by fire, of a
pleasant aroma to Yahweh.
{1:14} "'If his offering to Yahweh is a burnt offering of birds,
then he shall offer his offering of turtledoves, or of young pigeons.
{1:15} 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; {1:16} and he shall take away its crop with its
filth, and cast it beside the altar on the east part, in the place of
the ashes. {1:17} He shall tear it by its wings, but shall not divide
it apart. The priest shall burn it on the altar, on the wood that is
on the fire. It is a burnt offering, an offering made by fire, of a
pleasant aroma to Yahweh.
{2:1} "'When anyone offers an offering of a meal offering to Yahweh,
his offering shall be of fine flour; and he shall pour oil on it, and
put frankincense on it. {2:2} He shall bring it to Aaron's sons, the
priests; and he shall take his handful of its fine flour, and of its
oil, with all its frankincense; and the priest shall burn its memorial
on the altar, an offering made by fire, of a pleasant aroma to Yahweh.
{2:3} That which is left of the meal offering shall be Aaron's and his
sons'. It is a most holy thing of the offerings of Yahweh made by fire.
{2:4} "'When you offer an offering of a meal offering baked in the
oven, it shall be unleavened cakes of fine flour mixed with oil, or
unleavened wafers anointed with oil. {2:5} If your offering is a meal
offering of the griddle, it shall be of unleavened fine flour, mixed
with oil. {2:6} You shall cut it in pieces, and pour oil on it. It is
a meal offering. {2:7} If your offering is a meal offering of the pan,
it shall be made of fine flour with oil. {2:8} You shall bring the
meal offering that is made of these things to Yahweh: and it shall be
presented to the priest, and he shall bring it to the altar. {2:9} The
priest shall take from the meal offering its memorial, and shall burn
it on the altar, an offering made by fire, of a pleasant aroma to
Yahweh. {2:10} That which is left of the meal offering shall be
Aaron's and his sons'. It is a thing most holy of the offerings of
Yahweh made by fire.
{2:11} "'No meal offering, which you shall offer to Yahweh, shall be
made with yeast; for you shall burn no yeast, nor any honey, as an
offering made by fire to Yahweh. {2:12} As an offering of firstfruits
you shall offer them to Yahweh: but they shall not ascend for a
pleasant aroma on the altar. {2:13} Every offering of your meal
offering you shall season with salt; neither shall you allow the salt
of the covenant of your [2>]God[<2] to be lacking from your meal
offering. With all your offerings you shall offer salt.
{2:14} "'If you offer a meal offering of first fruits to Yahweh, you
shall offer for the meal offering of your first fruits grain in the
ear parched with fire, bruised grain of the fresh ear. {2:15} You
shall put oil on it, and lay frankincense on it: it is a meal
offering. {2:16} The priest shall burn as its memorial, part of its
bruised grain, and part of its oil, along with all its frankincense:
it is an offering made by fire to Yahweh.
{3:1} "'If his offering is a sacrifice of peace offerings; if he
offers it from the herd, whether male or female, he shall offer it
without blemish before Yahweh. {3:2} He shall lay his hand on the head
of his offering, and kill it at the door of the Tent of Meeting: and
Aaron's sons, the priests shall sprinkle the blood around on the
altar. {3:3} He shall offer of the sacrifice of peace offerings an
offering made by fire to Yahweh; the fat that covers the innards, and
all the fat that is on the innards, {3:4} and the two kidneys, and the
fat that is on them, which is by the loins, and the cover on the
liver, with the kidneys, he shall take away. {3:5} Aaron's sons shall
burn it on the altar on the burnt offering, which is on the wood that
is on the fire: it is an offering made by fire, of a pleasant aroma to
Yahweh.
{3:6} "'If his offering for a sacrifice of peace offerings to Yahweh
is from the flock; male or female, he shall offer it without blemish.
{3:7} If he offers a lamb for his offering, then he shall offer it
before Yahweh; {3:8} and he shall lay his hand on the head of his
offering, and kill it before the Tent of Meeting: and Aaron's sons
shall sprinkle its blood around on the altar. {3:9} He shall offer
from the sacrifice of peace offerings an offering made by fire to
Yahweh; its fat, the entire tail fat, he shall take away close to the
backbone; and the fat that covers the inwards, and all the fat that is
on the inwards, {3:10} and the two kidneys, and the fat that is on
them, which is by the loins, and the cover on the liver, with the
kidneys, he shall take away. {3:11} The priest shall burn it on the
altar: it is the food of the offering made by fire to Yahweh.
{3:12} "'If his offering is a goat, then he shall offer it before
Yahweh: {3:13} and he shall lay his hand on its head, and kill it
before the Tent of Meeting; and the sons of Aaron shall sprinkle its
blood around on the altar. {3:14} He shall offer from it as his
offering, an offering made by fire to Yahweh; the fat that covers the
innards, and all the fat that is on the innards, {3:15} and the two
kidneys, and the fat that is on them, which is by the loins, and the
cover on the liver, with the kidneys, he shall take away. {3:16} The
priest shall burn them on the altar: it is the food of the offering
made by fire, for a pleasant aroma; all the fat is Yahweh's.
{3:17} "'It shall be a perpetual statute throughout your generations
in all your dwellings, that you shall eat neither fat nor blood.'"
