1. Then the Lord summoned Moses and spoke to him from the tent of meeting:
2. “Speak to the Israelites and tell them: When any of you brings an offering to the Lord from the livestock, you may bring your offering from the herd or the flock.
3. “If his gift is a burnt offering from the herd, he is to bring an unblemished male. He must bring it to the entrance to the tent of meeting so that he may be accepted by the Lord.
4. He is to lay his hand on the head of the burnt offering so it can be accepted on his behalf to make atonement for him.
5. He is to slaughter the bull before the Lord; Aaron’s sons the priests are to present the blood and sprinkle it on all sides of the altar that is at the entrance to the tent of meeting.
6. Then he must skin the burnt offering and cut it into pieces.
