The Lord called out to Moses. He spoke to him from the tent of meeting. He said,“ 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.“‘ 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.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.The young bull must be killed there in the sight of the Lord. Then the priests in Aaron’s family line must bring its blood to the altar. They must splash it against the sides of the altar. The altar stands at the entrance to the tent of meeting.The skin must be removed from the animal brought for the burnt offering. Then the animal must be cut into pieces.
