Lois sur les sacrifices et les offrandes

1 L’Eternel appela Moïse et lui dit depuis la tente de la Rencontre : 2 Parle aux Israélites en ces termes :

Les holocaustes

Lorsque l’un d’entre vous offrira un animal en sacrifice à l’Eternel, il apportera un animal pris parmi le gros ou le petit bétail.

3 Si c’est du gros bétail[a] qu’on offre en holocauste[b], on apportera un mâle sans défaut et on l’offrira à l’entrée de la tente de la Rencontre afin qu’il soit agréé par l’Eternel. 4 Celui qui l’offre posera sa main sur la tête de l’animal[c] et celui-ci sera accepté comme victime expiatoire pour lui. 5 Il égorgera le jeune taureau devant l’Eternel, et les descendants d’Aaron, les prêtres, en présenteront le sang[d]. Ils en aspergeront tous les côtés de l’autel qui se trouve à l’entrée de la tente de la Rencontre. 6 Après lui avoir enlevé la peau, on découpera la victime en quartiers. 7 Puis les descendants du prêtre Aaron allumeront le feu sur l’autel et empileront des bûches sur le feu. 8 Ensuite, les prêtres disposeront les quartiers de viande, la tête et les parties grasses sur le bois du foyer qui est sur l’autel. 9 On lavera à l’eau les entrailles et les pattes, puis le prêtre brûlera le tout sur l’autel. C’est un holocauste, un sacrifice consumé par le feu, à l’odeur apaisante pour l’Eternel[e].

10 Si c’est du petit bétail qu’on offre en holocauste, on présentera un agneau ou un chevreau mâle sans défaut. 11 On l’égorgera devant l’Eternel, du côté nord de l’autel, et les prêtres, descendants d’Aaron, aspergeront de son sang tous les côtés de l’autel. 12 On découpera la victime en quartiers, et le prêtre les disposera avec la tête et les parties grasses sur le bois du foyer qui est sur l’autel. 13 On lavera à l’eau les entrailles et les pattes, et le prêtre offrira le tout et le brûlera sur l’autel. C’est un holocauste, un sacrifice consumé par le feu, à l’odeur apaisante pour l’Eternel.

14 Si ce sont des oiseaux qu’on offre comme holocauste à l’Eternel, on apportera des tourterelles ou des pigeonneaux. 15 Le prêtre présentera la victime devant l’autel, lui détachera la tête qu’il brûlera sur l’autel ; il fera couler le sang contre la paroi de l’autel. 16 Il enlèvera le jabot avec son contenu et le jettera près de l’autel, du côté est, dans le dépôt des cendres. 17 Il ouvrira l’oiseau entre les ailes sans les détacher. Ensuite il le brûlera sur le bois qui est sur le foyer. C’est un holocauste, un sacrifice consumé par le feu, à l’odeur apaisante pour l’Eternel.

Footnotes

  1. 1.3 Trois sortes de victimes pouvaient être offertes en holocauste suivant la fortune de l’offrant : les taureaux pour les riches (v. 3), les moutons ou les chevreaux (v. 10) et les oiseaux (v. 14) pour les pauvres (Lv 5.7 ; 12.8 ; Lc 2.24).
  2. 1.3 Le mot holocauste rend un mot hébreu de sens inconnu et dérive d’un terme grec signifiant : « entièrement consumé ». En effet, la victime de ce sacrifice était presque entièrement brûlée. Voir Ex 29.39-42 ; Nb 28.9-10, 26-31.
  3. 1.4 L’imposition des mains représente l’identification avec l’animal qui, par ce geste, devient le substitut de l’offrant (voir 24.14 ; 16.21).
  4. 1.5 Voir Gn 9.4 ; Lv 17.10-15 ; Dt 12.16.
  5. 1.9 Autre traduction (ici comme dans tout l’Ancien Testament) : au parfum de bonne odeur pour l’Eternel.

New King James Version

The Burnt Offering

1 Now the Lord (A)called to Moses, and spoke to him (B)from the tabernacle of meeting, saying, 2 “Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them: (C)‘When any one of you brings an offering to the Lord, you shall bring your offering of the livestock—of the herd and of the flock.

3 ‘If his offering is a burnt sacrifice of the herd, let him offer a male (D)without blemish; he shall offer it of his own free will at the door of the tabernacle of meeting before the Lord. 4 (E)Then he shall put his hand on the head of the burnt offering, and it will be (F)accepted on his behalf (G)to make atonement for him. 5 He shall kill the (H)bull before the Lord; (I)and the priests, Aaron’s sons, shall bring the blood (J)and sprinkle the blood all around on the altar that is by the door of the tabernacle of meeting. 6 And he shall (K)skin the burnt offering and cut it into its pieces. 7 The sons of Aaron the priest shall put (L)fire on the altar, and (M)lay the wood in order on the fire. 8 Then the priests, Aaron’s sons, shall lay the parts, the head, and the fat in order on the wood that is on the fire upon the altar; 9 but he shall wash its entrails and its legs with water. And the priest shall burn all on the altar as a burnt sacrifice, an offering made by fire, a (N)sweet[a] aroma to the Lord.

10 ‘If his offering is of the flocks—of the sheep or of the goats—as a burnt sacrifice, he shall bring a male (O)without blemish. 11 (P)He shall kill it on the north side of the altar before the Lord; and the priests, Aaron’s sons, shall sprinkle its blood all around on the altar. 12 And he shall cut it into its pieces, with its head and its fat; and the priest shall lay them in order on the wood that is on the fire upon the altar; 13 but he shall wash the entrails and the legs with water. Then the priest shall bring it all and burn it on the altar; it is a burnt sacrifice, an (Q)offering made by fire, a sweet aroma to the Lord.

14 ‘And if the burnt sacrifice of his offering to the Lord is of birds, then he shall bring his offering of (R)turtledoves or young pigeons. 15 The priest shall bring it to the altar, [b]wring off its head, and burn it on the altar; its blood shall be drained out at the side of the altar. 16 And he shall remove its crop with its feathers and cast it (S)beside the altar on the east side, into the place for ashes. 17 Then he shall split it at its wings, but (T)shall not divide it completely; and the priest shall burn it on the altar, on the wood that is on the fire. (U)It is a burnt sacrifice, an offering made by fire, a [c]sweet aroma to the Lord.

Leviticus 1
Living Bible

1 The Lord now spoke to Moses from the Tabernacle, 2-3 and commanded him to give the following instructions to the people of Israel: “When you sacrifice to the Lord, use animals from your herds and flocks.

“If your sacrifice is to be an ox given as a burnt offering, use only a bull with no physical defects. Bring the animal to the entrance of the Tabernacle where the priests will accept your gift for the Lord. 4 The person bringing it is to lay his hand upon its head, and it then becomes his substitute: the death of the animal will be accepted by God instead of the death of the man who brings it, as the penalty for his sins.[a] 5 The man shall then kill the animal there before the Lord, and Aaron’s sons, the priests, will present the blood before the Lord, sprinkling it upon all sides of the altar at the entrance of the Tabernacle. 6-7 Then the priests will skin[b] the animal and quarter it, and build a wood fire upon the altar, 8 and put the sections of the animal and its head and fat upon the wood. 9 The internal organs and the legs are to be washed, then the priests will burn them upon the altar, and they will be an acceptable burnt offering with which the Lord is pleased.[c]

10 “If the animal used as a burnt offering is a sheep or a goat, it too must be a male, and without any blemishes. 11 The man who brings it will kill it before the Lord on the north side of the altar, and Aaron’s sons, the priests, will sprinkle its blood back and forth upon the altar. 12 Then the man will quarter it, and the priests will lay the pieces, with the head and the fat, on top of the wood on the altar. 13 But the internal organs and the legs shall first be washed with water. Then the priests shall burn it all upon the altar as an offering to the Lord; for burnt offerings give much pleasure to the Lord.

14 “If anyone wishes to use a bird as his burnt offering, he may choose either turtledoves or young pigeons. 15-17 A priest will take the bird to the altar and wring off its head, and the blood shall be drained out at the side of the altar. Then the priest will remove the crop and the feathers and throw them on the east side of the altar with the ashes. Then, grasping it by the wings, he shall tear it apart, but not completely. And the priest shall burn it upon the altar, and the Lord will have pleasure in this sacrifice.[d]

1 The Lord called to Moses(A) and spoke to him from the tent of meeting.(B) He said, 2 “Speak to the Israelites and say to them: ‘When anyone among you brings an offering to the Lord,(C) bring as your offering an animal from either the herd or the flock.(D)

3 “‘If the offering is a burnt offering(E) from the herd,(F) you are to offer a male without defect.(G) You must present it at the entrance to the tent(H) of meeting so that it will be acceptable(I) to the Lord. 4 You are to lay your hand on the head(J) of the burnt offering,(K) and it will be accepted(L) on your behalf to make atonement(M) for you. 5 You are to slaughter(N) the young bull(O) before the Lord, and then Aaron’s sons(P) the priests shall bring the blood and splash it against the sides of the altar(Q) at the entrance to the tent of meeting. 6 You are to skin(R) the burnt offering and cut it into pieces.(S) 7 The sons of Aaron the priest are to put fire on the altar and arrange wood(T) on the fire. 8 Then Aaron’s sons the priests shall arrange the pieces, including the head and the fat,(U) on the wood(V) that is burning on the altar. 9 You are to wash the internal organs and the legs with water,(W) and the priest is to burn all of it(X) on the altar.(Y) It is a burnt offering,(Z) a food offering,(AA) an aroma pleasing to the Lord.(AB)

10 “‘If the offering is a burnt offering from the flock, from either the sheep(AC) or the goats,(AD) you are to offer a male without defect. 11 You are to slaughter it at the north side of the altar(AE) before the Lord, and Aaron’s sons the priests shall splash its blood against the sides of the altar.(AF) 12 You are to cut it into pieces, and the priest shall arrange them, including the head and the fat,(AG) on the wood that is burning on the altar. 13 You are to wash the internal organs and the legs with water,(AH) and the priest is to bring all of them and burn them(AI) on the altar.(AJ) It is a burnt offering,(AK) a food offering, an aroma pleasing to the Lord.

It is a burnt offering, a food offering, an aroma pleasing to the Lord.
