3 “If his offering is a burnt offering from the herd, he shall offer ^da male without blemish. He shall bring it to the entrance of the tent of meeting, that he may be accepted before the Lord. 4 ^eHe shall lay his hand on the head of the burnt offering, and it shall be ^faccepted for him ^gto make atonement for him. 5 Then he shall kill the bull before the Lord, and Aaron’s sons the priests shall bring the blood ^hand throw the blood against the sides of the altar that is at the entrance of the tent of meeting. 6 Then he shall flay the burnt offering and cut it into pieces, 7 and the sons of Aaron the priest shall put fire on the altar and ⁱarrange wood on the fire. 8 And Aaron’s sons the priests shall arrange the pieces, the head, and the fat, on the wood that is on the fire on the altar; 9 but its entrails and its legs he shall wash with water. And the priest shall burn all of it on the altar, as ^ja burnt offering, a food offering ^{▼▼Or an offering by fire; so throughout Leviticus} with a ^lpleasing aroma to the Lord.

14 “If his offering to the Lord is a burnt offering of birds, then he shall bring his offering of ^pturtledoves or pigeons. 15 And the priest shall bring it to the altar and wring off its head and burn it on the altar. Its blood shall be drained out on the side of the altar. 16 He shall remove its crop with its contents ^{▼▼Or feathers} and cast it ^rbeside the altar on the east side, in the place for ashes. 17 He shall tear it open by its wings, but ^sshall not sever it completely. And the priest shall burn it on the altar, on the wood that is on the fire. It is a burnt offering, a food offering with a pleasing aroma to the Lord.

Laws for Grain Offerings

1 “When anyone brings a ^tgrain offering as an offering to the Lord, his offering shall be of fine flour. ^uHe shall pour oil on it and put frankincense on it 2 and bring it to Aaron’s sons the priests. And he shall take from it a handful of the fine flour and oil, with all of its frankincense, and the priest shall burn this as its ^vmemorial portion on the altar, a food ^woffering with a pleasing aroma to the Lord. 3 But the ^xrest of the grain offering shall be for Aaron and his sons; ^yit is a most holy part of the Lord’s food offerings.

4 “When you bring a grain offering baked in the oven as an offering, it shall be ^zunleavened loaves of fine flour mixed with oil or unleavened wafers smeared with oil. 5 And if your offering is a grain offering ^aabaked on a griddle, it shall be of fine flour unleavened, mixed with oil. 6 You shall break it in pieces and pour oil on it; it is a grain offering. 7 And if your offering is a grain offering cooked in a pan, it shall be made of fine flour with oil. 8 And you shall bring the grain offering that is made of these things to the Lord, and when it is presented to the priest, he shall bring it to the altar. 9 And the priest shall take from the grain offering its memorial portion and burn this on the altar, a food ^aboffering with a ^acpleasing aroma to the Lord. 10 But the ^adrest of the grain offering shall be for Aaron and his sons; ^aeit is a most holy part of the Lord’s food offerings.

11 “No grain offering that you bring to the Lord shall be made with ^afleaven, for you shall burn no leaven nor any honey as a food offering to the Lord. 12 ^agAs an offering of firstfruits you may bring them to the Lord, but they shall not be offered on the altar for a pleasing aroma. 13 You ^ahshall season all your grain offerings with salt. You shall not let the ^aisalt of the covenant with your God be missing from your grain offering; ^ajwith all your offerings you shall offer salt.

14 “If you offer a grain offering of firstfruits to the Lord, you shall offer for the grain offering of your firstfruits fresh ^akears, roasted with fire, crushed new grain. 15 And ^alyou shall put oil on it and lay frankincense on it; it is a grain offering. 16 And the priest shall burn as its ^ammemorial portion some of the crushed grain and some of the oil with all of its frankincense; it is a food offering to the Lord.
