Leviticus 1:9-11
Evangelical Heritage Version
9 Then they are to wash its inner organs and its lower legs with water. The priest shall send it all up in smoke on the altar as a whole burnt offering, an offering made by fire,[a] with a pleasing aroma to the Lord.
10 If a person’s offering for a whole burnt offering is from the flock, from the sheep or from the goats, he shall present a male without blemish. 11 He shall slaughter it on the north side of the altar in the presence of the Lord. Then Aaron’s sons, the priests, shall splash its blood against all sides of the altar.

- Leviticus 1:9 Or a food offering or a special offering or a gift. The Hebrew term isheh was traditionally thought to be an offering made by fire because of its similarity to the Hebrew word for fire, but some contexts and similar words in other Semitic languages suggest that the term may sometimes refer to a gift of food. In some verses the Hebrew word for food is added to the description of the offering. The Lord, of course, does not literally need food. Our usual translation is an offering made by fire, but when the offering is not burned, it is simply translated gift.
