Leviticus 1:3-9

New Catholic Bible

³ If the offering is a burnt offering from the herd, let him offer a male without defect. He shall offer it at the entrance to the meeting tent, that it might be pleasing to the Lord. ⁴ He shall lay his hand on the head of the burnt offering, and it will be accepted for atonement on his behalf. ⁵ He shall kill the young bull before the Lord, and the priests, the sons of Aaron, shall take its blood and sprinkle it on the altar that is at the entrance to the meeting tent.^{[a] 6} He shall skin the burnt offering and cut it into pieces. ⁷ The sons of Aaron, the priests shall set a fire on the altar and arrange the wood upon the fire. ⁸ Then the sons of Aaron, the priests shall place the pieces of the animal, and its head and its fat, on the burning wood upon the altar. ⁹ He shall wash the entrails and the legs with water. Then the priest shall burn all of it on the altar as a burnt offering, a pleasing fragrance to the Lord.
