Plain text of Leviticus 1

1:1 And the Lord called unto Mosheh, and the Lord spake with him from the tabernacle of ordinance, saying:

1:2 Speak with the sons of Israel, and say to them: When one of you will bring an offering before the Lord of the cattle, of oxen or of sheep, you shall offer your oblations.

1:3 If his oblation be a burnt offering of the oxen, (it shall be) a male, unblemished; he shall offer him at the door of the tabernacle of ordinance; he shall offer him for acceptance before the Lord.

1:4 And he shall lay his hand upon the head of the burnt offering, that it may be acceptable for him to propitiate on his behalf.

1:5 And he shall sacrifice the young bullock before the Lord; and the sons of Aharon the priest shall bring the blood, and sprinkle the blood round about upon the altar which is at the door of the tabernacle of ordinance.

1:6 And he shall take away (the skin) of the burnt offering, and divide it, by its members.

1:7 And the sons of Aharon the priest shall put fire upon the altar, and lay the wood in order upon the fire.

1:8 And the priests, the sons of Aharon, shall arrange the limbs and the head and the fat on the wood upon the fire which is on the altar.

1:9 But his inwards and his legs he shall wash with water; and the priest shall burn the whole upon the altar an entire burnt offering, an oblation to be received with acceptance before the Lord.

1:10 And if his oblation be from the flock, of the sheep or the young of the goats for a burnt offering, he shall bring a perfect male.

1:11 And he shall sacrifice him at the north side of the altar before the Lord; and the priests the sons of Aharon shall sprinkle his blood round about upon the altar.

1:12 And he shall divide him by his members, and his head and his feet; and the priest shall lay them upon the wood which is on the fire upon the altar.

1:13 But the inwards and the legs he shall wash with water, and the priest shall bring the whole and burn (it) upon the altar: it is a whole burnt offering, an oblation to be received with acceptance before the Lord.

1:14 But if the burnt offering of his oblation before the Lord be from fowl, he shall bring his oblation from the turtles or the young of a pigeon.

1:15 And the priest shall offer it upon the altar, and pour its blood by the side of the altar:

1:16 And he shall remove its crop with its food, and throw it on the east side of the altar, at the place where they empty the ashes.

1:17 And he shall cleave it through its wings, (but) divide (it) not; and the priest shall burn it at the altar upon the wood that is on the fire: it is a burnt offering, an oblation that shall be received with acceptance before the Lord.
