1 The Lord called out to Moses. He spoke to him from the Tent of Meeting. He said,
2 "Speak to the people of Israel. Tell them, 'Suppose any one of you brings an offering to the Lord. You must bring an animal from your herd or flock.
3 " 'If a man brings a burnt offering from the herd, he must offer a male animal. It must not have any flaws. He must bring it to the entrance to the Tent of Meeting. Then the Lord will accept it.
4 " 'The man must place his hand on the head of the burnt offering. Then the Lord will accept it in place of him. It will pay for his sin.
