The Burnt Offering
The Lord called to Moses and spoke to him from the tent of meeting. He said,
-
“Speak to the Israelites and say to them: ‘When anyone among you brings an offering to the Lord, bring as your offering an animal from either the herd or the flock.
-
“‘If the offering is a burnt offering from the herd, you are to offer a male without defect. You must present it at the entrance to the tent of meeting so that it will be acceptable to the Lord.
-
You are to slaughter the young bull before the Lord, and then Aaron’s sons the priests shall bring the blood and splash it against the sides of the altar at the entrance to the tent of meeting.
-
You are to wash the internal organs and the legs with water, and the priest is to burn all of it on the altar. It is a burnt offering, a food offering, an aroma pleasing to the Lord.
-
You are to slaughter it at the north side of the altar before the Lord, and Aaron’s sons the priests shall splash its blood against the sides of the altar.
-
You are to wash the internal organs and the legs with water, and the priest is to bring all of them and burn them on the altar. It is a burnt offering, a food offering, an aroma pleasing to the Lord.
-
“‘If the offering to the Lord is a burnt offering of birds, you are to offer a dove or a young pigeon.
-
He shall tear it open by the wings, not dividing it completely, and then the priest shall burn it on the wood that is burning on the altar. It is a burnt offering, a food offering, an aroma pleasing to the Lord.
-
The Grain Offering
“‘When anyone brings a grain offering to the Lord, their offering is to be of the finest flour. They are to pour olive oil on it, put incense on it
-
and take it to Aaron’s sons the priests. The priest shall take a handful of the flour and oil, together with all the incense, and burn this as a memorial portion on the altar, a food offering, an aroma pleasing to the Lord.
-
The rest of the grain offering belongs to Aaron and his sons; it is a most holy part of the food offerings presented to the Lord.
-
Bring the grain offering made of these things to the Lord; present it to the priest, who shall take it to the altar.
-
He shall take out the memorial portion from the grain offering and burn it on the altar as a food offering, an aroma pleasing to the Lord.
-
The rest of the grain offering belongs to Aaron and his sons; it is a most holy part of the food offerings presented to the Lord.
-
“‘Every grain offering you bring to the Lord must be made without yeast, for you are not to burn any yeast or honey in a food offering presented to the Lord.
-
You may bring them to the Lord as an offering of the firstfruits, but they are not to be offered on the altar as a pleasing aroma.
-
“‘If you bring a grain offering of firstfruits to the Lord, offer crushed heads of new grain roasted in the fire.
-
The priest shall burn the memorial portion of the crushed grain and the oil, together with all the incense, as a food offering presented to the Lord.
-
The Fellowship Offering
“‘If your offering is a fellowship offering, and you offer an animal from the herd, whether male or female, you are to present before the Lord an animal without defect.
-
From the fellowship offering you are to bring a food offering to the Lord: the internal organs and all the fat that is connected to them,
-
Then Aaron’s sons are to burn it on the altar on top of the burnt offering that is lying on the burning wood; it is a food offering, an aroma pleasing to the Lord.
-
“‘If you offer an animal from the flock as a fellowship offering to the Lord, you are to offer a male or female without defect.
-
If you offer a lamb, you are to present it before the Lord,
-
From the fellowship offering you are to bring a food offering to the Lord: its fat, the entire fat tail cut off close to the backbone, the internal organs and all the fat that is connected to them,
