Leviticus 1:14-17

Holman Christian Standard Bible

¹⁴“If his gift to the Lord is a burnt offering of birds,^(A) he is to present his offering from the turtledoves^(B) or young pigeons.^[a]^(C) ¹⁵Then the priest must bring it to the altar, and must twist off its head and burn it on the altar; its blood should be drained at the side of the altar. ¹⁶He will remove its digestive tract,^[b] cutting off the tail feathers, and throw it on the east side of the altar at the place for ashes.^(D) ¹⁷He will tear it open by its wings without dividing the bird.^(E) Then the priest is to burn it on the altar on top of the burning wood. It is a burnt offering, a fire offering of a pleasing aroma to the Lord.
