  • 3
    “If the animal you present as a burnt offering is from the herd, it must be a male with no defects. Bring it to the entrance of the Tabernacle so youb may be accepted by the LORD.
  • 4
    Then he shall put his hand on the head of the burnt offering, and it will be accepted on his behalf to make atonement for him.

    Lay your hand on the animal’s head, and the LORD will accept its death in your place to purify you, making you right with him.c

    They will arrange the pieces of the offering, including the head and fat, on the wood burning on 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 sweet[a] aroma to the Lord.
  • 9
    But the internal organs and the legs must first be washed with water. Then the priest will burn the entire sacrifice on the altar as a burnt offering. It is a special gift, a pleasing aroma to the LORD.
