1And he called Moses, and the lord spoke to him from out of the tent of the testimony, saying, 2Speak to the sons of Israel! And you shall say to them, A man of you, if he should bring gift offerings  to the lord  from the cattle, and from the oxen, and from the sheep -- you shall bring   your gift offerings thus. 3If [2be a whole burnt-offering   1his gift offering] of the oxen, [4male 3as an unblemished 1he shall bring 2it] to the door of the tent of the testimony. He shall bring it as acceptable before the lord. 4And he shall place his  hand upon the head of the yield offering  acceptable to him, to atone for him. 5And they shall slay the calf before the lord, and [6shall bring 1the 2sons 3of Aaron 4the 5priests] the blood, and they shall pour the blood upon the altar round about the one  at the doors of the tent of the testimony. 6And flaying the whole burnt-offering, they shall dismember it by limbs. 7And [6shall put 1the 2sons 3of Aaron 4the 5priests] fire upon the altar. And they shall pile wood upon the fire. 8And [6shall pile up 1the 2sons 3of Aaron 4the 5priests] the pieces, and the head, and the fat upon the wood   upon the fire   being upon the altar. 9But the intestines and the feet they shall wash in water. And [3shall place 1the 2priest] the whole amount  upon the altar -- [2a yield offering  1it is] sacrifice scent of pleasant aroma to the lord. 10And if [2is from 3the 4sheep   1his gift offering] to the lord, or also from the lambs, and of the kids for a whole burnt-offering, [3male 2an unblemished 1he shall bring] for it. And he shall place his  hand upon   its head. 11And they shall slay it by the side of the altar, towards the north before the lord. And [6shall pour 1the 2sons 3of Aaron 4the 5priests] the blood of it upon the altar round about. 12And they shall divide it by limbs, and the head, and   its fat. And [3shall pile 1the 2priests] them upon the wood   upon the fire   upon the altar. 13And the intestines, and the feet they shall wash in water. And [3shall bring 1the 2priest] the whole amount, and shall place them  upon the altar -- it is a yield offering  sacrifice scent of pleasant aroma to the lord. 14But if from the birds [3yield offering  1he should bring 2his gift] to the lord, then he shall bring [2from 3the 4turtle-doves 5or 6from 7the 8pigeons   1his gift], 15and [3shall bring 4it 1the 2priest] to the altar, and shall pluck off   its head, and [3shall place it  1the 2priest] upon the altar, and he shall wring out the blood to the base of the altar. 16And he shall remove the crop with the feathers, and cast them by the altar according to the east, into the place of the ashes. 17And he shall break it from the wings, and shall not divide it. And [3shall place 4it 1the 2priest] upon the altar upon the wood   upon the fire -- [2a yield offering  1it is] sacrifice scent of pleasant aroma to the lord.
