Leviticus 1:7-17 Amplified Bible (AMP)

7. And the sons of Aaron the priest shall put fire on the altar and lay wood in order on the fire;

8. And Aaron's sons the priests shall lay the pieces, the head and the fat, in order on the wood on the fire on the altar.

9. But its entrails and its legs he shall wash with water. And the priest shall burn all of it on the altar for a burnt offering, an offering by fire, a sweet and satisfying odor to the Lord. [Eph. 5:2; Phil. 4:18; I Pet. 2:5.]

10. And if the man's offering is of the flock, from the sheep or the goats, for a burnt offering, he shall offer a male without blemish.

11. And he shall kill it on the north side of the altar before the Lord, and Aaron's sons the priests shall dash its blood round about against the altar.

12. And [the man] shall cut it into pieces, with its head and its fat, and the priest shall lay them in order on the wood that is on the fire on the altar.

13. But he shall wash the entrails and legs with water. The priest shall offer all of it and burn it on the altar; it is a burnt offering, an offering made by fire, a sweet and satisfying fragrance to the Lord.

14. And if the offering to the Lord is a burnt offering of birds, then [the man] shall bring turtledoves or young pigeons.

15. And the priest shall bring it to the altar, and wring off its head, and burn it on the altar; and its blood shall be drained out on the side of the altar.

16. And he shall take away its crop with its feathers and cast it beside the altar on the east side, in the place for ashes.

17. And he shall split it open [holding it] by its wings, but shall not cut it in two. And the priest shall burn it on the altar, on the wood that is on the fire; it is a burnt offering, an offering made by fire, a sweet and satisfying odor to the Lord.
