New King James Version (NKJV)

Leviticus 1
² "Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them: ’When any one of you brings an offering to the Lord, you shall bring your offering of the livestock--of the herd and of the flock.
³ ’If his offering is a burnt sacrifice of the herd, let him offer a male without blemish; he shall offer it of his own free will at the door of the tabernacle of meeting before the Lord.
⁴ Then he shall put his hand on the head of the burnt offering, and it will be accepted on his behalf to make atonement for him.
⁵ He shall kill the bull before the Lord; and the priests, Aaron’s sons, shall bring the blood and sprinkle the blood all around on the altar that is by the door of the tabernacle of meeting.
⁶ And he shall skin the burnt offering and cut it into its pieces.
⁷ The sons of Aaron the priest shall put fire on the altar, and lay the wood in order on the fire.
⁸ Then the priests, Aaron’s sons, shall lay the parts, the head, and the fat in order on the wood that is on the fire upon the altar;
⁹ but he shall wash its entrails and its legs with water. And the priest shall burn all on the altar as a burnt sacrifice, an offering made by fire, a sweet aroma to the Lord.
¹⁰ ’If his offering is of the flocks--of the sheep or of the goats--as a burnt sacrifice, he shall bring a male without blemish.
¹¹ He shall kill it on the north side of the altar before the Lord; and the priests, Aaron’s sons, shall sprinkle its blood all around on the altar.
¹² And he shall cut it into its pieces, with its head and its fat; and the priest shall lay them in order on the wood that is on the fire upon the altar;
