Leviticus 1:1-5

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.
