Leviticus 1:8-16 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

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.

12. And they shall divide the limbs, the head, and everything that adjoins to the liver. And they shall place them on the wood, under which the fire is to be thrown.

13. Yet truly, the intestines and the feet they shall wash with water. And the priest, having offered everything, shall burn it upon the altar as a holocaust and as a most sweet odor to the Lord.

14. But if the oblation of a holocaust to the Lord is of birds, either of turtledoves, or young pigeons,

15. the priest shall offer it at the altar: and twisting back the neck with the head, and also rupturing the place of the wound, he shall make the blood run down over the edge of the altar.

16. Yet truly, the craw of the throat and the feathers he shall cast near the altar at the eastern section, in the place where the ashes are usually poured out.
