Drottinn kallaði á Móse og talaði við hann úr samfundatjaldinu og mælti:

"Tala þú til Ísraelsmanna og seg við þá: Þegar einhver af yður vill færa Drottni fórn, þá skuluð þér færa fórn yðar af fénaðinum, af nautum og sauðum.

Sé fórn hans brennifórn af nautum, skal það, er hann fórnar, vera karlkyns og gallalaust. Skal hann leiða það að dyrum samfundatjaldsins, svo að hann verði Drottni velþóknanlegur.

Því næst skal hann leggja hönd sína á höfuð brennifórnarinnar, að hún afli honum velþóknunar og friðþægi fyrir hann.

Síðan skal hann slátra ungneytinu frammi fyrir Drottni. En synir Arons, prestarnir, skulu fram bera blóðið, og skulu þeir stökkva blóðinu allt í kring utan á altarið, sem stendur við dyr samfundatjaldsins.

Þá flái hann brennifórnina og hluti hana sundur.

En synir Arons, prestarnir, skulu gjöra eld á altarinu og leggja við á eldinn.

Og synir Arons, prestarnir, skulu raða stykkjunum, höfðinu og mörnum ofan á viðinn, sem lagður er á eldinn, sem er á altarinu.

En innýflin og fæturna skal þvo í vatni, og skal presturinn brenna það allt á altarinu til brennifórnar, eldfórnar þægilegs ilms fyrir Drottin.

10 Sé fórnargjöf sú, er hann fram ber til brennifórnar, af sauðfénaði, af sauðkindum eða geitum, þá skal það, er hann fórnar, vera karlkyns og gallalaust.

11 Og skal hann slátra því við altarið norðanvert frammi fyrir Drottni, en synir Arons, prestarnir, skulu stökkva blóðinu úr því utan á altarið allt í kring.

12 Síðan skal hann hluta það sundur, og skal presturinn raða stykkjunum ásamt höfðinu og mörnum ofan á viðinn, sem lagður er á eldinn, sem er á altarinu.

13 En innýflin og fæturna skal þvo í vatni, og skal presturinn fram bera það allt og brenna á altarinu. Er það brennifórn, eldfórn þægilegs ilms fyrir Drottin.

14 Vilji hann færa Drottni brennifórn af fuglum, þá taki hann til fórnar sinnar turtildúfur eða ungar dúfur.

15 Skal presturinn bera fuglinn að altarinu og klípa af höfuðið og brenna það á altarinu, en blóðið skal kreista út á altarishliðina.

16 Og hann skal taka sarpinn með fiðrinu á og kasta honum við austurhlið altarisins, þar sem askan er látin.

17 Og hann skal rífa vængina frá, en þó eigi slíta þá af, og skal presturinn brenna hann á altarinu, ofan á viðnum, sem lagður er á eldinn. Er það brennifórn, eldfórn þægilegs ilms fyrir Drottin.

The Burnt Offering

The Lord called to Moses(A) and spoke to him from the tent of meeting.(B) He said, “Speak to the Israelites and say to them: ‘When anyone among you brings an offering to the Lord,(C) bring as your offering an animal from either the herd or the flock.(D)

“‘If the offering is a burnt offering(E) from the herd,(F) you are to offer a male without defect.(G) You must present it at the entrance to the tent(H) of meeting so that it will be acceptable(I) to the Lord. You are to lay your hand on the head(J) of the burnt offering,(K) and it will be accepted(L) on your behalf to make atonement(M) for you. You are to slaughter(N) the young bull(O) before the Lord, and then Aaron’s sons(P) the priests shall bring the blood and splash it against the sides of the altar(Q) at the entrance to the tent of meeting. You are to skin(R) the burnt offering and cut it into pieces.(S) The sons of Aaron the priest are to put fire on the altar and arrange wood(T) on the fire. Then Aaron’s sons the priests shall arrange the pieces, including the head and the fat,(U) on the wood(V) that is burning on the altar. You are to wash the internal organs and the legs with water,(W) and the priest is to burn all of it(X) on the altar.(Y) It is a burnt offering,(Z) a food offering,(AA) an aroma pleasing to the Lord.(AB)

10 “‘If the offering is a burnt offering from the flock, from either the sheep(AC) or the goats,(AD) you are to offer a male without defect. 11 You are to slaughter it at the north side of the altar(AE) before the Lord, and Aaron’s sons the priests shall splash its blood against the sides of the altar.(AF) 12 You are to cut it into pieces, and the priest shall arrange them, including the head and the fat,(AG) on the wood that is burning on the altar. 13 You are to wash the internal organs and the legs with water,(AH) and the priest is to bring all of them and burn them(AI) on the altar.(AJ) It is a burnt offering,(AK) a food offering, an aroma pleasing to the Lord.

14 “‘If the offering to the Lord is a burnt offering of birds, you are to offer a dove or a young pigeon.(AL) 15 The priest shall bring it to the altar, wring off the head(AM) and burn it on the altar; its blood shall be drained out on the side of the altar.(AN) 16 He is to remove the crop and the feathers[a] and throw them down east of the altar where the ashes(AO) are. 17 He shall tear it open by the wings, not dividing it completely,(AP) and then the priest shall burn it on the wood(AQ) that is burning on the altar. It is a burnt offering, a food offering, an aroma pleasing to the Lord.

  1. Leviticus 1:16 Or crop with its contents; the meaning of the Hebrew for this word is uncertain.

And the Lord called unto Moses, and spake unto him out of the tabernacle of the congregation, saying,

Speak 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.

If 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.

And he shall put his hand upon the head of the burnt offering; and it shall be accepted for him to make atonement for him.

And 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.

And he shall flay the burnt offering, and cut it into his pieces.

And the sons of Aaron the priest shall put fire upon the altar, and lay the wood in order upon the fire:

And 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:

But 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.

11 And 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.

12 And 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:

13 But 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.

15 And 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:

16 And 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:

17 And 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.
