UST LEV Chapter 1

LEV 1 ©

1Yahweh summoned Moses from the sacred tent. He told him 2to tell the Israelite people, “When any of you offers an animal to Yahweh, you should offer it from your farm animals, from your cattle or from your sheep and goats.

3If you want to offer a bull as a wholly burned sacrifice, then you should offer a totally healthy male. You should present this animal at the entrance of the sacred tent. When you do, Yahweh will regard it as acceptable. 4You should place your hands on the head of the bull that the priest will burn completely on the altar. When you do that, Yahweh will accept the animal as an appropriate sacrifice for you, and he will remove your sins from you. 5You should kill the bull that you want to present in the sacred precincts where Yahweh lives among the Israelites. Then the priests, Aaron’s sons, should take the blood from the bull and splatter it onto every side of the altar that is at the entrance of the sacred tent. 6You should remove the skin from the bull that you are presenting as a wholly burned sacrifice. Then you should cut the animal into pieces. 7Then the sons of Aaron, who are priests themselves because Aaron was the first priest, will put burning coals on top of the altar and place pieces of wood on the coals so that the wood will catch fire. 8Then the priests, Aaron's sons, will organize the pieces of the animal that you killed and cut up, including the head and the fat portions, on the wood fire that is burning on the top of the altar. 9Before the priest burns up the stomach and intestines and legs of the animal, you should wash them carefully with water. Make sure that only clean things go on Yahweh’s altar. The priest should completely burn every part of the animal on the altar in a way that causes smoke to go up. This will fulfill the requirements for the wholly burned sacrifice. Yahweh will consider it to be a gift, and he will enjoy the smell of the smoke.

10But if you want to offer a smaller animal as a wholly burned sacrifice, whether a sheep or a goat, then you should offer a totally healthy male. 11You should kill the sheep or goat that you want to present on the north side of the altar in the sacred precincts where Yahweh lives among the Israelites. Then the priests, Aaron’s sons, should take the blood from the sheep or the goat and splatter it onto every side of the altar. 12You should then cut the animal into pieces, including its head and its fat portions. Then the priest should organize those pieces on a wood fire that he builds on the altar. 13Before the priest burns up the stomach and intestines and legs of the animal, you should wash them with water. Make sure that only clean things go on Yahweh’s altar. The priest should present all these portions of the animal to Yahweh and completely burn it on the altar in a way that causes smoke to go up. This will fulfill the requirements for the wholly burned sacrifice. Yahweh will consider it to be a gift, and he will enjoy the smell of the smoke.

14But if you want to offer a bird to Yahweh as a wholly burned sacrifice, then you should offer a dove or a pigeon. 15The priest should bring the bird to the altar, break its neck and twist off its head. Then the priest should completely burn the head on the altar in a way that causes smoke to go up. Next, the priest should drain the bird's blood on the outer edge of the altar. 16Then the priest should take out the bird’s esophagus, remove all the bird's feathers, and dispose of them on the east side of the altar. The priest should put them where the priests also dispose of the ashes from the fat of other sacrifices. 17Then the priest should tear the bird open, holding it by its wings, but he should not tear it into two parts. Next, on the wood fire that he builds on the altar, the priest should burn the bird completely in a way that causes smoke to go up. This will fulfill the requirements for the wholly burned sacrifice. Yahweh will consider it to be a gift, and he will enjoy the smell of the smoke.
