Leviticus 1:14-17

Contemporary English Version

¹⁴ If you offer a bird for this kind of sacrifice, it must be a dove or a pigeon. ¹⁵ A priest will take the bird to the bronze altar, where he will wring its neck and put its head on the fire. Then he will drain out its blood on one side of the altar, ¹⁶ remove the bird's craw with what is in it,^[a] and throw them on the ash heap at the east side of the altar.^{[b] 17} Finally, he will take the bird by its wings, tear it partially open,^[c] and send it up in smoke with a smell that pleases me.
