Leviticus 1:3-9
New King James Version
3 ‘If his offering is a burnt sacrifice of the herd, let him offer a male (A)without blemish; he shall offer it of his own free will at the door of the tabernacle of meeting before the Lord. 4 (B)Then he shall put his hand on the head of the burnt offering, and it will be (C)accepted on his behalf (D)to make atonement for him. 5 He shall kill the (E)bull before the Lord; (F)and the priests, Aaron’s sons, shall bring the blood (G)and sprinkle the blood all around on the altar that is by the door of the tabernacle of meeting. 6 And he shall (H)skin the burnt offering and cut it into its pieces. 7 The sons of Aaron the priest shall put (I)fire on the altar, and (J)lay the wood in order on the fire. 8 Then the priests, Aaron’s sons, shall lay the parts, the head, and the fat in order on the wood that is on the fire upon the altar; 9 but he shall wash its entrails and its legs with water. And the priest shall burn all on the altar as a burnt sacrifice, an offering made by fire, a (K)sweet[a] aroma to the Lord.
