New Living Translation (NLT)
Leviticus 1
4 Lay your hand on the animal’s head, and the LORD will accept its death in your place to purify you, making you right with him.
5 Then slaughter the young bull in the LORD’s presence, and Aaron’s sons, the priests, will present the animal’s blood by splattering it against all sides of the altar that stands at the entrance to the Tabernacle.
6 Then skin the animal and cut it into pieces.
7 The sons of Aaron the priest will build a wood fire on the altar.
8 They will arrange the pieces of the offering, including the head and fat, on the wood burning on the altar.
9 But the internal organs and the legs must first be washed with water. Then the priest will burn the entire sacrifice on the altar as a burnt offering. It is a special gift, a pleasing aroma to the LORD.
10 “If the animal you present as a burnt offering is from the flock, it may be either a sheep or a goat, but it must be a male with no defects.
11 Slaughter the animal on the north side of the altar in the LORD’s presence, and Aaron’s sons, the priests, will splatter its blood against all sides of the altar.
12 Then cut the animal in pieces, and the priests will arrange the pieces of the offering, including the head and fat, on the wood burning on the altar.
13 But the internal organs and the legs must first be washed with water. Then the priest will burn the entire sacrifice on the altar as a burnt offering. It is a special gift, a pleasing aroma to the LORD.
14 “If you present a bird as a burnt offering to the LORD, choose either a turtledove or a young pigeon.
We pray that this ministry will be a blessing to you and your family.
