Leviticus 1:11-17 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

11. He will slaughter it on the north side of the altar before the Lord. Aaron’s sons the priests will sprinkle its blood against the altar on all sides.

12. He will cut the animal into pieces with its head and its suet, and the priest will arrange them on top of the burning wood on the altar.

13. But he is to wash the entrails and shanks with water. The priest will then present all of it and burn it on the altar; it is a burnt offering, a fire offering of a pleasing aroma to the Lord.

14. “If his gift to the Lord is a burnt offering of birds, he is to present his offering from the turtledoves or young pigeons.

15. Then the priest must bring it to the altar, and must twist off its head and burn it on the altar; its blood should be drained at the side of the altar.

16. He will remove its digestive tract, cutting off the tail feathers, and throw it on the east side of the altar at the place for ashes.

17. He will tear it open by its wings without dividing the bird. Then the priest is to burn it on the altar on top of the burning wood. It is a burnt offering, a fire offering of a pleasing aroma to the Lord.
