Leviticus 1

And Yahweh called to Moses, and spoke to him out of the tent of meeting, saying, 2 Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them, When any man of you offers an oblation to Yahweh, you shall offer your oblation of the cattle, even of the herd and of the flock.

 

3 If his oblation is a burnt-offering of the herd, he shall offer a male without blemish: he shall offer it at the door of the tent of meeting, that he may be accepted before Yahweh. 4 And he shall lay his hand upon the head of the burnt-offering; and it shall be accepted for him to make atonement for him. 5 And he shall kill the bullock before Yahweh: and Aaron’s sons, the priests, shall present the blood, and sprinkle the blood around on the altar that is at the door of the tent of meeting. 6 And he shall flay the burnt-offering, and cut it into its pieces.

 

7 And the sons of Aaron the priest shall put fire on the altar, and lay wood in order on the fire; 8 and Aaron’s sons, the priests, shall lay the pieces, the head, and the fat, in order on the wood that is on the fire which is on the altar: 9 but its inner parts and its legs he shall wash with water: and the priest shall burn the whole thing on the altar, for a burnt-offering, an offering made by fire, of a sweet savor to Yahweh.

 

10 And if his oblation is of the flock, of the sheep, or of the goats, for a burnt-offering; he shall offer a male without blemish. 11 And he shall kill it on the side of the altar northward before Yahweh: and Aaron’s sons, the priests, shall sprinkle its blood all around on the altar. 12 And he shall cut it into its pieces, with its head and its fat; and the priest shall lay them in order on the wood that is on the fire which is on the altar: 13 but the inner parts and the legs he shall wash with water; and the priest shall offer the whole thing, and burn it upon the altar: it is a burnt-offering, an offering made by fire, of a sweet savor to Yahweh.

 

14 And if his oblation to Yahweh is a burnt-offering of birds, then he shall offer his oblation of turtle-doves, or of young pigeons. 15 And the priest shall bring it to the altar, and wring off its head, and burn it on the altar; and the blood of it shall be drained out on the side of the altar; 16 and he shall take away its crop with the feathers of it, and cast it beside the altar on the east part, in the place of the ashes: 17 and he shall rend it by the wings, but shall not divide it completely; and the priest shall burn it on the altar, on the wood that is on the fire: it is a burnt-offering, an offering made by fire, of a sweet savor to Yahweh.

 

 

Leviticus 2

And when any one offers an oblation of a meal-offering to Yahweh, his oblation shall be of fine flour; and he shall Pour oil on it, and put frankincense on it: 2 and he shall bring it to Aaron’s sons the priests; and he shall take out of it his handful of the fine flour, and of the oil of it, with all the frankincense of it; and the priest shall burn it as the memorial of it on the altar, an offering made by fire, of a sweet savor to Yahweh: 3 and that which is left of the meal-offering shall be Aaron’s and his sons’: it is a thing most holy of the offerings of Yahweh made by fire.

 

4 And when you offer an oblation of a meal-offering baked in the oven, it shall be unleavened cakes of fine flour mingled with oil, or unleavened wafers anointed with oil. 5 And if your oblation is a meal-offering of the baking-pan, it shall be of fine flour unleavened, mingled with oil. 6 You shall part it in pieces, and pour oil on it: it is a meal-offering. 7 And if your oblation is a meal-offering of the frying-pan, it shall be made of fine flour with oil. 8 And you shall bring the meal-offering that is made of these things to Yahweh: and it shall be presented to the priest, and he shall bring it to the altar. 9 And the priest shall take up from the meal-offering the memorial of it, and shall burn it upon the altar, an offering made by fire, of a sweet savor to Yahweh. 10 And that which is left of the meal-offering shall be Aaron’s and his son’s: it is a thing most holy of the offerings of Yahweh made by fire.

 

11 No meal-offering, which you shall offer to Yahweh, shall be made with leaven; for you shall burn no leaven, nor any honey, as an offering made by fire to Yahweh. 12 As an oblation of first-fruits you shall offer them to Yahweh: but they shall not come up for a sweet savor on the altar. 13 And every oblation of your meal-offering you shall season with salt; neither shall you suffer the salt of the covenant of your Elohim to be lacking from your meal-offering: with all your oblations you shall offer salt.

 

14 And if you offer a meal-offering of first-fruits to Yahweh, you shall offer for the meal-offering of your first-fruits grain in the ear parched with fire, bruised grain of the fresh ear. 15 And you shall put oil on it, and lay frankincense on it: it is a meal-offering. 16 And the priest shall burn the memorial of it, part of the bruised grain of it, and part of the oil of it, with all the frankincense of it: it is an offering made by fire to Yahweh.

 

 

Leviticus 3

And if his oblation is a sacrifice of peace-offerings; if he offers of the herd, whether male or female, he shall offer it without blemish before Yahweh. 2 And he shall lay his hand on the head of his oblation, and kill it at the door of the tent of meeting: and Aaron’s sons the priests shall sprinkle the blood all around on the altar. 3 And he shall offer of the sacrifice of peace-offerings an offering made by fire to Yahweh; the fat that covers the inner parts, and all the fat that is upon the inner parts, 4 and the two kidneys, and the fat that is on them, which is by the loins, and the covering upon the liver, with the kidneys, shall he take away. 5 And Aaron’s sons shall burn it on the altar upon the burnt-offering, which is upon the wood that is on the fire: it is an offering made by fire, of a sweet savor to Yahweh.

 

6 And if his oblation for a sacrifice of peace-offerings to Yahweh is of the flock; male or female, he shall offer it without blemish. 7 If he offers a lamb for his oblation, then he shall offer it before Yahweh; 8 and he shall lay his hand on the head of his oblation, and kill it before the tent of meeting: and Aaron’s sons shall sprinkle the blood of it around on the altar. 9 And he shall offer of the sacrifice of peace-offerings an offering made by fire to Yahweh; the fat of it, the entire fat tail, he shall take away close to the backbone; and the fat that covers the inner parts, and all the fat that is on the inner parts, 10 and the two kidneys, and the fat that is on them, which is by the loins, and the covering on the liver, with the kidneys, shall he take away. 11 And the priest shall burn it on the altar: it is the food of the offering made by fire to Yahweh.

 

12 And if his oblation is a goat, then he shall offer it before Yahweh: 13 and he shall lay his hand upon the head of it, and kill it before the tent of meeting; and the sons of Aaron shall sprinkle the blood of it around on the altar. 14 And he shall offer of it his oblation, even an offering made by fire to Yahweh; the fat that covers the inner parts, and all the fat that is on the inner parts, 15 and the two kidneys, and the fat that is upon them, which is by the loins and the covering upon the liver, with the kidneys, shall he take away. 16 And the priest shall burn them upon the altar: it is the food of the offering made by fire, for a sweet savor; all the fat is Yahweh’s. 17 It shall be a perpetual statute throughout your generations in all your dwellings, that you shall eat neither fat nor blood.
