CHAP. I.
Of holocausts or burnt offerings.
1 And the Lord called
Moses, and spoke
to him from the tabernacle
of the testimony,
saying:
2 Speak to the children
of Israel; and thou shalt say
to them: The man among
you, that shall offer to the
Lord a sacrifice of the cattle,
that is, offering victims of
oxen and sheep,
3 If his offering be note
a holocaust, and of the herd;
he shall offer a male, without
blemish, at the door of the
testimony, to make the Lord
favourable to him:
-- --
4 And he shall put his
hand upon the head of the
victim, and it shall be acceptable,
and help to his expiation.
5 And he shall immolate
the calf before the Lord,
and the priests the sons of Aaron
shall offer the blood thereof,
pouring it round about
the altar, which is before the
door of the tabernacle,
6 And when they have
flayed the victim, they shall
cut the joints into pieces,
7 And shall put fire on the
altar, having before laid in
order a pile of wood:
8 And they shall lay the
parts that are cut out in order
thereupon, to wit, the head,
and all things that cleave to the
liver,
9 The entrails and feet
being washed with water: and
the priest shall burn them upon
the altar for a holocaust,
and a sweet savour to the
Lord.
10 And if the offering
be of the flocks, a holocaust of
sheep or of goats, he shall
offer a male without blemish.
11 And he shall immolate
it at the side of the altar
that looketh to the north,
before the Lord: but the
sons of Aaron shall pour the
blood thereof upon the altar
round about:
12 And they shall divide the
joints, the head, and all that
cleave to the liver: and shall
lay them upon the wood, under
which the fire is to be put:
13 But the entrails and
the feet they shall wash with
water. And the priest shall
offer it all and burn it all
upon the altar for a holocaust,
and most sweet savour
to the Lord.
14 But if the oblation
of a holocaust to the Lord
be of birds, of turtles or of
young pigeons,
15 The priest shall offer it
at the altar: and twisting back
the neck, and breaking the
place of the wound, he shall
make the blood run down upon
the brim of the altar.
16 But the crop of the
throat, and the feathers he
shall cast beside the altar at
the east side, in the place
where the ashes are wont to
be poured out,
17 And he shall break
the pinions thereof, and shall
not cut, nor divide it with a
knife, and shall burn it upon
the altar, putting fire under
the wood. It is a holocaust
and oblation of most sweet
savour to the Lord.
