Leviticus 1:3-5

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]
