Leviticus 1:12-14
New English Translation
12 Next, the one presenting the offering[a] must cut it into parts, with its head and its suet, and the priest must arrange them on the wood that is in the fire on the altar. 13 Then the one presenting the offering must wash the entrails and the legs in water, and the priest must present all of it and offer it up in smoke on the altar—it is a burnt offering, a gift of a soothing aroma to the Lord.
Offering of Birds
14 “‘If his offering to the Lord is a burnt offering of birds,[b] he must present his offering from the turtledoves or from the young pigeons.[c]
