Rules for Burnt Offerings
1The Lord called out to Moses. He spoke to him from the tent of meeting. He said, 2“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.
3“ ‘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. 4They 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. 5The 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. 6The skin must be removed from the animal brought for the burnt offering. Then the animal must be cut into pieces. 7The priests in Aaron’s family line must build a fire on the altar. They must place wood on the fire. 8Then they must place the pieces of the animal on the burning wood on the altar. The pieces include the head and the fat. 9The inside parts of the animal must be washed with water. The legs must also be washed. The priest must burn all of it on the altar. It is a burnt offering. It is a food offering. Its smell pleases the Lord.
10“ ‘If someone offers a burnt offering from the flock, it must be a male animal. It can be a sheep or a goat. It must not have any flaws. 11They must kill it at the north side of the altar in the sight of the Lord. The priests in Aaron’s family line must splash its blood against the sides of the altar. 12They must cut the animal into pieces. The priest must place the pieces on the burning wood on the altar. The pieces include the head and the fat. 13They must wash the inside parts with water. The legs must also be washed. The priest must bring all the parts to the altar. He must burn them there. It is a burnt offering. It is a food offering. Its smell pleases the Lord.
14“ ‘If someone offers to the Lord a burnt offering of birds, it must be a dove or a young pigeon. 15The priest must bring it to the altar. He must twist its head off. Then he must burn the rest of the bird on the altar. Its blood must be emptied out on the side of the altar. 16The priest must remove the small bag inside the bird’s throat. He must also remove the feathers. Then he must throw them to the east side of the altar. That is where the ashes are. 17He must take hold of the wings of the bird and tear it open. But he must not tear it in two. Then the priest will burn it on the wood burning on the altar. It is a burnt offering. It is a food offering. Its smell pleases the Lord.
献燔祭的条例
1耶和华在会幕里呼唤摩西，对他说： 2“你把以下条例告诉以色列人。
“如果你们有人献祭给耶和华，要用牛羊作祭物。 3如果用牛作燔祭，必须用毫无残疾的公牛，在会幕门口献上，便可蒙耶和华悦纳。 4献祭者要把手放在牛头上，所献的燔祭便蒙悦纳，为他赎罪。 5他要在耶和华面前宰牛，然后祭司——亚伦的子孙要把牛血洒在会幕门口的祭坛四周。 6献祭者要剥掉牛皮，把牛切成块。 7祭司——亚伦的子孙要在祭坛上生火，把木柴摆在火上， 8然后将肉块、头颅和脂肪都摆在祭坛燃烧的木柴上。 9献祭者要用水洗净牛的内脏和腿。祭司要把这一切都放在坛上焚烧。这是燔祭，是蒙耶和华悦纳的馨香火祭。
10“如果用绵羊或山羊作燔祭，必须用毫无残疾的公羊。 11献祭者要在祭坛北面，在耶和华面前宰羊。祭司——亚伦的子孙要把羊血洒在祭坛四周。 12献祭者将羊切成块后，祭司要把肉块、头颅和脂肪摆在祭坛燃烧的木柴上。 13献祭者要用水洗净羊的内脏和腿。祭司要把这一切都放在坛上焚烧。这是燔祭，是蒙耶和华悦纳的馨香火祭。
14“如果有人用鸟作燔祭，要用斑鸠或雏鸽。 15祭司要把鸟带到祭坛前，拧下鸟头，放在祭坛上焚烧；要在祭坛旁放尽鸟血； 16要除掉鸟的嗉子和羽毛，丢在祭坛东边倒灰的地方。 17祭司要抓着两个翅膀把鸟撕开，但不可撕断，然后把鸟放在坛上焚烧。这是燔祭，是蒙耶和华悦纳的馨香火祭。
