Leviticus 1:3-17
New King James Version
3 ‘If his offering is a burnt sacrifice of the herd, let him offer a male (A)without blemish; he shall offer it of his own free will at the door of the tabernacle of meeting before the Lord. 4 (B)Then he shall put his hand on the head of the burnt offering, and it will be (C)accepted on his behalf (D)to make atonement for him. 5 He shall kill the (E)bull before the Lord; (F)and the priests, Aaron’s sons, shall bring the blood (G)and sprinkle the blood all around on the altar that is by the door of the tabernacle of meeting. 6 And he shall (H)skin the burnt offering and cut it into its pieces. 7 The sons of Aaron the priest shall put (I)fire on the altar, and (J)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 (K)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 (L)without blemish. 11 (M)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 (N)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 (O)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 (P)beside the altar on the east side, into the place for ashes. 17 Then he shall split it at its wings, but (Q)shall not divide it completely; and the priest shall burn it on the altar, on the wood that is on the fire. (R)It is a burnt sacrifice, an offering made by fire, a [c]sweet aroma to the Lord.

Christ’s Death Fulfills God’s Will(B)
5 Therefore, when He came into the world, He said:
(C)“Sacrifice and offering You did not desire,
But a body You have prepared for Me.
6 In burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin
You had no pleasure.
7 Then I said, ‘Behold, I have come—
In the volume of the book it is written of Me—
To do Your will, O God.’ ”
8 Previously saying, “Sacrifice and offering, burnt offerings, and offerings for sin You did not desire, nor had pleasure in them” (which are offered according to the law), 9 then He said, “Behold, I have come to do Your will, [a]O God.” He takes away the first that He may establish the second. 10 (D)By that will we have been [b]sanctified (E)through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.
