1. The Lord called Moses and spoke to him from the tent of meeting. He said,
2. “Tell the Israelites: If any of you bring a sacrifice to the Lord, you must offer an animal from your cattle, sheep, or goats.
3. “If you bring a burnt offering from your cattle, you must offer a male that has no defects. Offer it at the entrance to the tent of meeting so that the Lord will accept you.
4. Place your hand on the animal’s head. The burnt offering will be accepted to make peace with the Lord.
5. Then slaughter the bull in the Lord’s presence. Aaron’s sons, the priests, will offer the blood. They will throw it against all sides of the altar that is at the entrance to the tent of meeting.
6. Skin the burnt offering, and cut it into pieces.
7. Then the sons of the priest Aaron will start a fire on the altar and lay the wood on the fire.
