Leviticus 1

New Living Translation NLT

1 The LORD called to Moses from the Tabernacle and said to him,

2 “Give the following instructions to the people of Israel. When you present an animal as an offering to the LORD, you may take it from your herd of cattle or your flock of sheep and goats.

3 “If the animal you present as a burnt offering is from the herd, it must be a male with no defects. Bring it to the entrance of the Tabernacle so you may be accepted by the LORD .

4 Lay your hand on the animal’s head, and the LORD will accept its death in your place to purify you, making you right with him.

5 Then slaughter the young bull in the LORD ’s presence, and Aaron’s sons, the priests, will present the animal’s blood by splattering it against all sides of the altar that stands at the entrance to the Tabernacle.

6 Then skin the animal and cut it into pieces.

7 The sons of Aaron the priest will build a wood fire on the altar.

8 They will arrange the pieces of the offering, including the head and fat, on the wood burning on the altar.

9 But the internal organs and the legs must first be washed with water. Then the priest will burn the entire sacrifice on the altar as a burnt offering. It is a special gift, a pleasing aroma to the LORD .

10 “If the animal you present as a burnt offering is from the flock, it may be either a sheep or a goat, but it must be a male with no defects.

11 Slaughter the animal on the north side of the altar in the LORD ’s presence, and Aaron’s sons, the priests, will splatter its blood against all sides of the altar.

12 Then cut the animal in pieces, and the priests will arrange the pieces of the offering, including the head and fat, on the wood burning on the altar.

13 But the internal organs and the legs must first be washed with water. Then the priest will burn the entire sacrifice on the altar as a burnt offering. It is a special gift, a pleasing aroma to the LORD .

14 “If you present a bird as a burnt offering to the LORD, choose either a turtledove or a young pigeon.

15 The priest will take the bird to the altar, wring off its head, and burn it on the altar. But first he must drain its blood against the side of the altar.

16 The priest must also remove the crop and the feathers and throw them in the ashes on the east side of the altar.

17 Then, grasping the bird by its wings, the priest will tear the bird open, but without tearing it apart. Then he will burn it as a burnt offering on the wood burning on the altar. It is a special gift, a pleasing aroma to the LORD .

The Message Bible MSG

1 God called Moses and spoke to him from the Tent of Meeting:

2 "Speak to the People of Israel. Tell them, When anyone presents an offering to God, present an animal from either the herd or the flock.

3 "If the offering is a Whole-Burnt-Offering from the herd, present a male without a defect at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting that it may be accepted by God.

4 Lay your hand on the head of the Whole-Burnt-Offering so that it may be accepted on your behalf to make atonement for you.

5 Slaughter the bull in God's presence. Aaron's sons, the priests, will make an offering of the blood by splashing it against all sides of the Altar that stands at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting.

6 Next, skin the Whole-Burnt-Offering and cut it up.

7 Aaron's sons, the priests, will prepare a fire on the Altar, carefully laying out the wood,

8 and then arrange the body parts, including the head and the suet, on the wood prepared for the fire on the Altar.

9 Scrub the entrails and legs clean. The priest will burn it all on the Altar: a Whole-Burnt-Offering, a Fire-Gift, a pleasing fragrance to God.

10 "If the Whole-Burnt-Offering comes from the flock, whether sheep or goat, present a male without defect.

11 Slaughter it on the north side of the Altar in God's presence. The sons of Aaron, the priests, will throw the blood against all sides of the Altar.

12 Cut it up and the priest will arrange the pieces, including the head and the suet, on the wood prepared for burning on the Altar.

13 Scrub the entrails and legs clean. The priest will offer it all, burning it on the Altar: a Whole-Burnt-Offering, a Fire-Gift, a pleasing fragrance to God.

14 "If a bird is presented to God for the Whole-Burnt-Offering it can be either a dove or a pigeon.

15 The priest will bring it to the Altar, wring off its head, and burn it on the Altar. But he will first drain the blood on the side of the Altar,

16 remove the gizzard and its contents, and throw them on the east side of the Altar where the ashes are piled.

17 Then rip it open by its wings but leave it in one piece and burn it on the Altar on the wood prepared for the fire: a Whole-Burnt-Offering, a Fire-Gift, a pleasing fragrance to God.
