Leviticus 1
1599 Geneva Bible

The Third Book of Moses, called [a]Leviticus

1 1 Of burnt offerings for particular persons. 3, 10, and 14 The manner to offer burnt offerings as well of bullocks, as of sheep and birds.

1 Now the [b]Lord called Moses, and spake unto him out of the Tabernacle of the Congregation, saying,

2 Speak unto the children of Israel, and thou shalt say unto them, If any of you offer a sacrifice unto the Lord, ye shall offer your sacrifice of [c]cattle, as of beeves and of the sheep.

3 (A)If his sacrifice be a burnt offering of the herd, he shall offer a male without blemish, presenting him of his own voluntary will at the door of the [d]Tabernacle of the Congregation before the Lord.

4 And he shall put his hand upon the head of the burnt offering, and it shall be accepted [e]to the Lord, to be his atonement.

5 And [f]he shall kill the bullock before the Lord, and the Priests Aaron’s sons shall offer the blood, and shall sprinkle it round about upon the [g]altar, that is by the door of the Tabernacle of the Congregation.

6 Then shall he slay the burnt offering, and cut it in pieces.

7 So the sons of Aaron the Priest shall put fire upon the altar, and lay the wood in order upon the fire.

8 Then the Priests Aaron’s sons shall lay the parts in order, the head and the [h]caul upon the wood that is in the fire which is upon the altar.

9 But the inwards thereof and the legs thereof he shall wash in water, and the Priest shall burn all on the altar: for it is a burnt offering, an oblation made by fire, for a sweet savor [i]unto the Lord.

10 ¶ And if his sacrifice for the burnt offering be of the flocks (as of the sheep, or of the goats) he shall offer a male without blemish.

11 [j]And he shall kill it on the North side of the altar [k]before the Lord, and the Priests Aaron’s sons shall sprinkle the blood thereof round about upon the altar.

12 And he shall cut it in [l]pieces, separating his head and his [m]caul, and the Priest shall lay them in order upon the wood that lieth in the fire which is on the altar:

13 But he shall wash the inwards, and the legs with water, and the Priest shall offer the whole and burn it upon the altar: for it is a burnt offering, an oblation made by fire for a sweet savor unto the Lord.

14 ¶ And if his sacrifice be a burnt offering to the Lord of the fowls, then shall he offer his sacrifice of the turtledoves, or of the young pigeons.

15 And the Priest shall bring it unto the altar, and [n]wring the neck of it asunder, and burn it on the altar: and the blood thereof shall be [o]shed upon the side of the altar.

16 And he shall pluck out his maw with his feathers, and cast them beside the altar on the [p]East part in the place of the ashes.

17 And he shall cleave it with his wings, but not divide it asunder: and the Priest shall burn it upon the altar upon the wood that is in the fire: for it is a burnt offering, an oblation made by fire for a sweet savor unto the Lord.

The Burnt Offering

1 The Lord called to Moses(A) and spoke to him from the tent of meeting.(B) He said, 2 “Speak to the Israelites and say to them: ‘When anyone among you brings an offering to the Lord,(C) bring as your offering an animal from either the herd or the flock.(D)

3 “‘If the offering is a burnt offering(E) from the herd,(F) you are to offer a male without defect.(G) You must present it at the entrance to the tent(H) of meeting so that it will be acceptable(I) to the Lord. 4 You are to lay your hand on the head(J) of the burnt offering,(K) and it will be accepted(L) on your behalf to make atonement(M) for you. 5 You are to slaughter(N) the young bull(O) before the Lord, and then Aaron’s sons(P) the priests shall bring the blood and splash it against the sides of the altar(Q) at the entrance to the tent of meeting. 6 You are to skin(R) the burnt offering and cut it into pieces.(S) 7 The sons of Aaron the priest are to put fire on the altar and arrange wood(T) on the fire. 8 Then Aaron’s sons the priests shall arrange the pieces, including the head and the fat,(U) on the wood(V) that is burning on the altar. 9 You are to wash the internal organs and the legs with water,(W) and the priest is to burn all of it(X) on the altar.(Y) It is a burnt offering,(Z) a food offering,(AA) an aroma pleasing to the Lord.(AB)

10 “‘If the offering is a burnt offering from the flock, from either the sheep(AC) or the goats,(AD) you are to offer a male without defect. 11 You are to slaughter it at the north side of the altar(AE) before the Lord, and Aaron’s sons the priests shall splash its blood against the sides of the altar.(AF) 12 You are to cut it into pieces, and the priest shall arrange them, including the head and the fat,(AG) on the wood that is burning on the altar. 13 You are to wash the internal organs and the legs with water,(AH) and the priest is to bring all of them and burn them(AI) on the altar.(AJ) It is a burnt offering,(AK) a food offering, an aroma pleasing to the Lord.

14 “‘If the offering to the Lord is a burnt offering of birds, you are to offer a dove or a young pigeon.(AL) 15 The priest shall bring it to the altar, wring off the head(AM) and burn it on the altar; its blood shall be drained out on the side of the altar.(AN) 16 He is to remove the crop and the feathers[a] and throw them down east of the altar where the ashes(AO) are. 17 He shall tear it open by the wings, not dividing it completely,(AP) and then the priest shall burn it on the wood(AQ) that is burning on the altar. It is a burnt offering, a food offering, an aroma pleasing to the Lord.
