Leviticus 1
Bible in Basic English
1And the voice of the Lord came to Moses out of the Tent of meeting, saying,
2Give these orders to the children of Israel: When anyone of you makes an offering to the Lord, you are to take it from the cattle, from the herd or from the flock.
3If the offering is a burned offering of the herd, let him give a male without a mark: he is to give it at the door of the Tent of meeting so that he may be pleasing to the Lord.
4And he is to put his hand on the head of the burned offering and it will be taken for him, to take away his sin.
5And the ox is to be put to death before the Lord: then Aaron's sons, the priests, are to take the blood and put some of it on and round the altar which is at the door of the Tent of meeting.
6And the burned offering is to be skinned and cut up into its parts.
7And Aaron's sons, the priests, are to put fire on the altar and put the wood in order on the fire:
8And Aaron's sons, the priests, are to put the parts, the head and the fat, in order on the wood which is on the fire on the altar:
9But its inside parts and its legs are to be washed with water, and it will all be burned on the altar by the priest for a burned offering, an offering made by fire, for a sweet smell to the Lord.
10And if his offering is of the flock, a burned offering of sheep or goats, let him give a male without a mark.
11And he is to put it to death on the north side of the altar before the Lord: and Aaron's sons, the priests, are to put some of the blood on and round the altar.
