1And the LORD called unto Moses, and spake unto him out of the tabernacle of the congregation, saying, 2Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, If any man of you bring an offering unto the LORD, ye shall bring your offering of the cattle, even of the herd, and of the flock.
3If his offering be a burnt sacrifice of the herd, let him offer a male without blemish: he shall offer it of his own voluntary will at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation before the LORD. 4And he shall put his hand upon the head of the burnt offering; and it shall be accepted for him to make atonement for him. 5And he shall kill the bullock before the LORD: and the priests, Aaron’s sons, shall bring the blood, and sprinkle the blood round about upon the altar that is by the door of the tabernacle of the congregation. 6And he shall flay the burnt offering, and cut it into his pieces. 7And the sons of Aaron the priest shall put fire upon the altar, and lay the wood in order upon the fire: 8And the priests, Aaron’s sons, shall lay the parts, the head, and the fat, in order upon the wood that is on the fire which is upon the altar: 9But his inwards and his legs shall he wash in water: and the priest shall burn all on the altar, to be a burnt sacrifice, an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the LORD.
10¶ And if his offering be of the flocks, namely, of the sheep, or of the goats, for a burnt sacrifice; he shall bring it a male without blemish. 11And he shall kill it on the side of the altar northward before the LORD: and the priests, Aaron’s sons, shall sprinkle his blood round about upon the altar. 12And he shall cut it into his pieces, with his head and his fat: and the priest shall lay them in order on the wood that is on the fire which is upon the altar: 13But he shall wash the inwards and the legs with water: and the priest shall bring it all, and burn it upon the altar: it is a burnt sacrifice, an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the LORD.
14¶ And if the burnt sacrifice for his offering to the LORD be of fowls, then he shall bring his offering of turtledoves, or of young pigeons. 15And the priest shall bring it unto the altar, and wring off his head, and burn it on the altar; and the blood thereof shall be wrung out at the side of the altar:1.15 wring…: or, pinch off the head with the nail 16And he shall pluck away his crop with his feathers, and cast it beside the altar on the east part, by the place of the ashes:1.16 his feathers: or, the filth thereof 17And he shall cleave it with the wings thereof, but shall not divide it asunder: and the priest shall burn it upon the altar, upon the wood that is upon the fire: it is a burnt sacrifice, an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the LORD.

焼き尽くすいけにえ
1さて主は、幕屋（主がイスラエル人と会う天幕、聖所）からモーセに語りました。 2-3「イスラエルの民に次のような指示を与えなさい。主にいけにえをささげるときは、自分の群れの牛か羊を使いなさい。雄牛を焼き尽くすいけにえとしてささげるときは、体に傷のないものでなければならない。まず、いけにえ用の雄牛を幕屋の入口へ引いて来る。そこで、祭司がそのささげ物を受け取る。 4いけにえをささげる人は、その雄牛の頭に手を置く。そうすることで、身代わりのいけにえと認められる。本人が自分の罪の刑罰として死ぬ代わりにその動物が死ぬことを、わたしは認めよう。 5わたしの前で、自ら手を下していけにえを殺しなさい。祭司であるアロンの子たちが、その雄牛の血をわたしにささげる。幕屋の入口で、祭壇の回りに血を振りかけるのだ。 6-7続いて、皮をはいで四肢に分け、祭司が祭壇に火を置き、たきぎを並べ、 8ばらした部分と頭と脂肪を載せる。 9そのとき、内臓と足は、いけにえをささげる本人がきれいに洗う。祭司はそれをみな祭壇の上で焼く。これが、主に受け入れられる、焼き尽くすいけにえである。
10焼き尽くすいけにえにする動物が、羊かやぎの場合は、傷のない雄でなければならない。 11いけにえをささげる人は、祭壇の北側で、わたしの前でそれを殺す。祭司であるアロンの子らが、その血を祭壇の回りに振りかける。 12その人は死体を四肢に分け、祭司はそれを頭や脂肪といっしょに祭壇のたきぎに載せる。 13その前に、内臓と足は、いけにえをささげる人自身が水で洗う。祭司は主へのささげ物として、その動物をみな祭壇で焼く。焼き尽くすいけにえをわたしは喜ぶ。
14鳥を使う場合は、山鳩か家鳩のひなのどちらかにしなさい。 15-17祭司はそれを祭壇へ持って行き、首をひねって殺し、血は祭壇の横に絞り出す。餌袋（胃袋）と羽毛は祭壇の東側の灰捨て場に捨てる。このあと翼をつかんで引き裂くが、ばらばらにしてはならない。それを祭壇で焼く。わたしはこのいけにえを喜ぶ。
