The Burnt Offering
The Lord called to Moses and spoke to him from the tent of meeting. He said,
-
“Speak to the Israelites and say to them: ‘When anyone among you brings an offering to the Lord, bring as your offering an animal from either the herd or the flock.
-
“‘If the offering is a burnt offering from the herd, you are to offer a male without defect. You must present it at the entrance to the tent of meeting so that it will be acceptable to the Lord.
-
You are to lay your hand on the head of the burnt offering, and it will be accepted on your behalf to make atonement for you.
-
You are to skin the burnt offering and cut it into pieces.
-
You are to wash the internal organs and the legs with water, and the priest is to burn all of it on the altar. It is a burnt offering, a food offering, an aroma pleasing to the Lord.
-
“‘If the offering is a burnt offering from the flock, from either the sheep or the goats, you are to offer a male without defect.
-
You are to wash the internal organs and the legs with water, and the priest is to bring all of them and burn them on the altar. It is a burnt offering, a food offering, an aroma pleasing to the Lord.
-
“‘If the offering to the Lord is a burnt offering of birds, you are to offer a dove or a young pigeon.
-
He shall tear it open by the wings, not dividing it completely, and then the priest shall burn it on the wood that is burning on the altar. It is a burnt offering, a food offering, an aroma pleasing to the Lord.
-
The Grain Offering
“‘When anyone brings a grain offering to the Lord, their offering is to be of the finest flour. They are to pour olive oil on it, put incense on it
-
and take it to Aaron’s sons the priests. The priest shall take a handful of the flour and oil, together with all the incense, and burn this as a memorial portion on the altar, a food offering, an aroma pleasing to the Lord.
-
The rest of the grain offering belongs to Aaron and his sons; it is a most holy part of the food offerings presented to the Lord.
-
“‘If you bring a grain offering baked in an oven, it is to consist of the finest flour: either thick loaves made without yeast and with olive oil mixed in or thin loaves made without yeast and brushed with olive oil.
-
If your grain offering is prepared on a griddle, it is to be made of the finest flour mixed with oil, and without yeast.
-
Crumble it and pour oil on it; it is a grain offering.
-
If your grain offering is cooked in a pan, it is to be made of the finest flour and some olive oil.
-
Bring the grain offering made of these things to the Lord; present it to the priest, who shall take it to the altar.
-
He shall take out the memorial portion from the grain offering and burn it on the altar as a food offering, an aroma pleasing to the Lord.
-
The rest of the grain offering belongs to Aaron and his sons; it is a most holy part of the food offerings presented to the Lord.
-
“‘Every grain offering you bring to the Lord must be made without yeast, for you are not to burn any yeast or honey in a food offering presented to the Lord.
-
You may bring them to the Lord as an offering of the firstfruits, but they are not to be offered on the altar as a pleasing aroma.
-
Season all your grain offerings with salt. Do not leave the salt of the covenant of your God out of your grain offerings; add salt to all your offerings.
-
“‘If you bring a grain offering of firstfruits to the Lord, offer crushed heads of new grain roasted in the fire.
-
Put oil and incense on it; it is a grain offering.
