1 The Lord called to Moses from the Tent of the Lord's presence and gave him the following rules
2 for the Israelites to observe when they offer their sacrifices.When anyone offers an animal sacrifice, it may be one of his cattle or one of his sheep or goats.
3 If he is offering one of his cattle as a burnt offering, he must bring a bull without any defects. He must present it at the entrance of the Tent of the Lord's presence so that the Lord will accept him.
4 The man shall put his hand on its head, and it will be accepted as a sacrifice to take away his sins.
5 He shall kill the bull there, and the Aaronite priests shall present the blood to the Lord and then throw it against all four sides of the altar which is at the entrance of the Tent.
6 Then he shall skin the animal and cut it up,
7 and the priests shall arrange firewood on the altar and light it.
