Leviticus 1:2-4

New International Reader's Version

² “Speak to the Israelites. Tell them, ‘Suppose anyone among you brings an offering to the Lord. They must bring an animal from their herd or flock.

³ “ ‘If someone brings a burnt offering from the herd, they must offer a male animal. It must not have any flaws. They must bring it to the entrance to the tent of meeting. Then the Lord will accept it. ⁴ They must place their hand on the head of the burnt offering. Then the Lord will accept it in place of them. It will pay for their sin.
