Leviticus 1:5-11 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

5. And he shall immolate the calf in the sight of the Lord. And the priests, the sons of Aaron, shall offer its blood, pouring it all around the altar, which is before the door of the tabernacle.

6. And having pulled away the skin of the victim, they shall cut up the joints into pieces,

7. and they shall toss fire under the altar, having arranged beforehand a stack of wood.

8. And they shall lay the parts which are cut up in order upon it: namely, the head, and all the things that adjoin to the liver,

9. the intestines and feet having been washed with water. And the priest shall burn them on the altar as a holocaust and as a sweet odor to the Lord.

10. But if the offering is from the flocks, a holocaust either of sheep or goats, he shall offer a male without blemish.

11. And he shall immolate it at the side of the altar which looks out toward the north, in the sight of the Lord. Yet truly, the sons of Aaron shall pour its blood upon the altar all around.
