Laws for Burnt Offerings
1
Then [[YHWH|the LORD]]… called to Moses and spoke to him from the Tent of Meeting, saying,
יְהוָה֙ אֵלָ֔יו וַיִּקְרָ֖א מֹשֶׁ֑ה וַיְדַבֵּ֤ר אֶל־ מֵאֹ֥הֶל מוֹעֵ֖ד לֵאמֹֽר׃ Yah·weh ’ê·lāw way·yiq·rā mō·šeh way·ḏab·bêr ’el- mê·’ō·hel mō·w·‘êḏ lê·mōr — WLC · 1
KAI ἀνεκάλεσεν Μωυσῆν καὶ ἐλάλησεν Κύριος αὐτῷ ἐκ τῆς σκηνῆς τοῦ μαρτυρίου λέγων — LXX Swete · 1
2
“Speak to the Israelites… and tell them: When any of you brings an offering to [[YHWH|the LORD]], you may bring as your offering an animal from the herd… or the flock.
דַּבֵּ֞ר אֶל־ בְּנֵ֤י יִשְׂרָאֵל֙ וְאָמַרְתָּ֣ אֲלֵהֶ֔ם כִּֽי־ אָדָ֗ם מִכֶּ֛ם יַקְרִ֥יב קָרְבָּ֖ן לַֽיהוָ֑ה תַּקְרִ֖יבוּ אֶת־ קָרְבַּנְכֶֽם׃ מִן־ הַבְּהֵמָ֗ה מִן־ הַבָּקָר֙ וּמִן־ הַצֹּ֔אן dab·bêr ’el- bə·nê yiś·rā·’êl wə·’ā·mar·tā ’ă·lê·hem kî- ’ā·ḏām mik·kem yaq·rîḇ qār·bān Yah·weh taq·rî·ḇū ’eṯ- qā·rə·ban·ḵem min- hab·bə·hê·māh min- hab·bā·qār ū·min- haṣ·ṣōn — WLC · 2
Λάλησον τοῖς υἱοῖς Ἰσραὴλ καὶ ἐρεῖς πρὸς αὐτούς Ἅνθρωπος ἐξ ὑμῶν ἐὰν προσαγάγῃ δῶρα τῷ κυρίῳ, ἀπὸ τῶν κτηνῶν καὶ ἀπὸ τῶν βοῶν καὶ ἀπὸ τῶν προβάτων προσοίσετε τὰ δῶρα ὑμῶν. — LXX Swete · 2
3
If his offering is a burnt offering from the herd, he is to present an unblemished male. He must bring it to the entrance to the Tent of Meeting for its acceptance before [[YHWH|the LORD]].
אִם־ קָרְבָּנוֹ֙ עֹלָ֤ה מִן־ הַבָּקָ֔ר יַקְרִיבֶ֑נּוּ תָּמִ֖ים זָכָ֥ר יַקְרִ֣יב אֹת֔וֹ אֶל־ פֶּ֝תַח אֹ֤הֶל מוֹעֵד֙ לִרְצֹנ֖וֹ לִפְנֵ֥י יְהוָֽה׃ ’im- qā·rə·bā·nōw ‘ō·lāh min- hab·bā·qār yaq·rî·ḇen·nū tā·mîm zā·ḵār yaq·rîḇ ’ō·ṯōw ’el- pɛ·ṯaḥ ’ō·hel mō·w·‘êḏ lir·ṣō·nōw lip̄·nê Yah·weh — WLC · 3
Ἐὰν ὁλοκαύτωμα τὸ δῶρον αὐτοῦ ἐκ τῶν βοῶν, ἄρσεν ἄμωμον προσάξει· πρὸς τὴν θύραν τῆς σκηνῆς τοῦ μαρτυρίου προσοίσει αὐτό, δεκτὸν αὐτῷ ἐναντίον Κυρίου. — LXX Swete · 3
4
He is to lay his hand on the head of the burnt offering, so it can be accepted on his behalf to make atonement for him.
וְסָמַ֣ךְ יָד֔וֹ עַ֖ל רֹ֣אשׁ הָעֹלָ֑ה וְנִרְצָ֥ה ל֖וֹ לְכַפֵּ֥ר עָלָֽיו׃ wə·sā·maḵ yā·ḏōw ‘al rōš hā·‘ō·lāh wə·nir·ṣāh lōw lə·ḵap·pêr ‘ā·lāw — WLC · 4
5
And he shall slaughter the young bull before [[YHWH|the LORD]], and Aaron’s sons the priests are to present the blood and splatter it on all sides of the altar at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting.
וְשָׁחַ֛ט אֶת־ בֶּ֥ן הַבָּקָ֖ר לִפְנֵ֣י יְהוָ֑ה אַהֲרֹ֤ן בְּנֵ֨י הַֽכֹּֽהֲנִים֙ אֶת־ וְ֠הִקְרִיבוּ הַדָּ֔ם וְזָרְק֨וּ אֶת־ הַדָּ֤ם סָבִ֔יב עַל־ הַמִּזְבֵּ֙חַ֙ אֲשֶׁר־ פֶּ֖תַח אֹ֥הֶל מוֹעֵֽד׃ wə·šā·ḥaṭ ’eṯ- ben hab·bā·qār lip̄·nê Yah·weh ’a·hă·rōn bə·nê hak·kō·hă·nîm ’eṯ- wə·hiq·rî·ḇū had·dām wə·zā·rə·qū ’eṯ- had·dām sā·ḇîḇ ‘al- ham·miz·bê·aḥ ’ă·šer- pe·ṯaḥ ’ō·hel mō·w·‘êḏ — WLC · 5
καὶ σφάξουσι τὸν μόσχον ἔνατι Κυρίου· καὶ προσοίσουσιν οἱ ἱερεῖς οἱ υἱοὶ Ἀαρὼν τὸ αἷμα, καὶ προσχεοῦσιν τὸ αἷμα ἐπὶ τὸ θυσιαστήριον κύκλῳ τὸ ἐπὶ τῶν θυρῶν τῆς σκηνῆς τοῦ μὰ τυρίου· — LXX Swete · 5
6
Next, he is to skin the burnt offering and cut it into pieces.
וְהִפְשִׁ֖יט אֶת־ הָעֹלָ֑ה וְנִתַּ֥ח אֹתָ֖הּ לִנְתָחֶֽיהָ׃ wə·hip̄·šîṭ ’eṯ- hā·‘ō·lāh wə·nit·taḥ ’ō·ṯāh lin·ṯā·ḥe·hā — WLC · 6
ἐκδείραντες ἐκδείραντες τὸ ὁλοκαύτωμα μελιοῦσιν αὐτὸ κατὰ μέλη. — LXX Swete · 6
7
The sons of Aaron the priest shall put a fire on the altar and arrange wood on the fire.
בְּנֵ֨י אַהֲרֹ֧ן הַכֹּהֵ֛ן וְ֠נָתְנוּ אֵ֖שׁ עַל־ הַמִּזְבֵּ֑חַ וְעָרְכ֥וּ עֵצִ֖ים עַל־ הָאֵֽשׁ׃ bə·nê ’a·hă·rōn hak·kō·hên wə·nā·ṯə·nū ’êš ‘al- ham·miz·bê·aḥ wə·‘ā·rə·ḵū ‘ê·ṣîm ‘al- hā·’êš — WLC · 7
καὶ ἐπιθήσουσιν οἱ υἱοὶ Ἀαρὼν οἱ ἱεραῖς πῦρ ἐπὶ τὸ θυσιαστήριον, καὶ ἐπιστοιβάσουσιν ξύλα ἐπὶ τὸ πῦρ· — LXX Swete · 7
8
Then Aaron’s sons the priests are to arrange the pieces, including the head and the fat, atop the burning - wood on the altar.
אַהֲרֹן֙ בְּנֵ֤י הַכֹּ֣הֲנִ֔ים אֵ֚ת וְעָרְכ֗וּ הַנְּתָחִ֔ים אֶת־ הָרֹ֖אשׁ וְאֶת־ הַפָּ֑דֶר עַל־ הָאֵ֔שׁ אֲשֶׁ֖ר עַל־ הָעֵצִים֙ אֲשֶׁ֣ר עַל־ הַמִּזְבֵּֽחַ׃ ’a·hă·rōn bə·nê hak·kō·hă·nîm ’êṯ wə·‘ā·rə·ḵū han·nə·ṯā·ḥîm ’eṯ- hā·rōš wə·’eṯ- hap·pā·ḏer ‘al- hā·’êš ’ă·šer ‘al- hā·‘ê·ṣîm ’ă·šer ‘al- ham·miz·bê·aḥ — WLC · 8

9
The entrails and legs must be washed with water, and the priest shall burn all of it on the altar as a burnt offering, a food offering, a pleasing aroma to [[YHWH|the LORD]].
וְקִרְבּ֥וֹ וּכְרָעָ֖יו יִרְחַ֣ץ בַּמָּ֑יִם הַכֹּהֵ֤ן אֶת־ וְהִקְטִ֨יר הַכֹּל֙ הַמִּזְבֵּ֔חָה עֹלָ֛ה אִשֵּׁ֥ה נִיח֖וֹחַ רֵֽיחַ־ לַֽיהוָֽה׃ס wə·qir·bōw ū·ḵə·rā·‘āw yir·ḥaṣ bam·mā·yim hak·kō·hên ’eṯ- wə·hiq·ṭîr hak·kōl ham·miz·bê·ḥāh ‘ō·lāh ’iš·šêh nî·ḥō·w·aḥ rê·aḥ- Yah·weh — WLC · 9
τὰ δὲ ία αὐτοῦ καὶ τοὺς πόδας πλυνοῦσιν ὕδατι· καὶ ἐπιθήσουσιν οἱ τὰ πάντα ἐπὶ τὸ θυσιαστήριον· κάρπωμά ἐστιν, θυσία, ὀσμὴ εὐωδίας τῷ κυρίῳ. — LXX Swete · 9
10
If, however, one’s offering is a burnt offering from the flock— from the sheep or… goats— he is to present an unblemished male.
וְאִם־ קָרְבָּנ֧וֹ לְעֹלָ֑ה מִן־ הַצֹּ֨אן מִן־ הַכְּשָׂבִ֛ים א֥וֹ מִן־ הָעִזִּ֖ים יַקְרִיבֶֽנּוּ׃ תָּמִ֖ים זָכָ֥ר wə·’im- qā·rə·bā·nōw lə·‘ō·lāh min- haṣ·ṣōn min- hak·kə·śā·ḇîm ’ōw min- hā·‘iz·zîm yaq·rî·ḇen·nū tā·mîm zā·ḵār — WLC · 10
Ἐὰν δὲ ἀπὸ τῶν προβάτων τὸ δῶρον αὐτοῦ τῷ κυρίῳ ἀπό τε τῶν ἀρνῶν καὶ τῶν ἐρίφων εἰς ὁλοκαύτωμα, ἄρσεν ἄμωμον προσάξει αὐτό, καὶ ἐπιθήσει τὴν χεῖρα ἐπὶ τὴν κεφαλὴν αὐτοῦ. — LXX Swete · 10
11
He shall slaughter it on the north side of the altar before [[YHWH|the LORD]], and Aaron’s sons the priests are to splatter its blood against the altar on all sides.
וְשָׁחַ֨ט אֹת֜וֹ עַ֣ל צָפֹ֖נָה יֶ֧רֶךְ הַמִּזְבֵּ֛חַ לִפְנֵ֣י יְהוָ֑ה אַהֲרֹ֨ן בְּנֵי֩ הַכֹּהֲנִ֧ים אֶת־ וְזָרְק֡וּ דָּמ֛וֹ עַל־ הַמִּזְבֵּ֖חַ סָבִֽיב׃ wə·šā·ḥaṭ ’ō·ṯōw ‘al ṣā·p̄ō·nāh ye·reḵ ham·miz·bê·aḥ lip̄·nê Yah·weh ’a·hă·rōn bə·nê hak·kō·hă·nîm ’eṯ- wə·zā·rə·qū dā·mōw ‘al- ham·miz·bê·aḥ sā·ḇîḇ — WLC · 11

12
He is to cut [the animal] into pieces, and the priest shall arrange them, including the head and fat, atop the burning - wood that [is] on the altar.
וְנִתַּ֤ח אֹתוֹ֙ לִנְתָחָ֔יו הַכֹּהֵן֙ וְעָרַ֤ךְ אֹתָ֔ם וְאֶת־ רֹאשׁ֖וֹ וְאֶת־ פִּדְר֑וֹ עַל־ הָאֵ֔שׁ אֲשֶׁ֖ר עַל־ הָֽעֵצִים֙ אֲשֶׁ֣ר עַל־ הַמִּזְבֵּֽחַ׃ wə·nit·taḥ ’ō·ṯōw lin·ṯā·ḥāw hak·kō·hên wə·‘ā·raḵ ’ō·ṯām wə·’eṯ- rō·šōw wə·’eṯ- piḏ·rōw ‘al- hā·’êš ’ă·šer ‘al- hā·‘ê·ṣîm ’ă·šer ‘al- ham·miz·bê·aḥ — WLC · 12
καὶ διελοῦσιν αὐτὸ κατὰ μέλη, καὶ τὴν κεφαλὴν καὶ τὸ στέαρ· καὶ ἐπιστοιβάσουσιν αὐτὰ οἱ ἱεραῖς ἐπὶ τὰ ξύλα τὰ ἐπὶ τοῦ πυρὸς τὰ ἐπὶ τοῦ θυσιαστηρίου, — LXX Swete · 12
13
The entrails and legs must be washed with water, and the priest shall present all of it and burn [it] on the altar; it is a burnt offering, a food offering, a pleasing aroma to [[YHWH|the LORD]].
וְהַקֶּ֥רֶב וְהַכְּרָעַ֖יִם יִרְחַ֣ץ בַּמָּ֑יִם הַכֹּהֵ֤ן אֶת־ וְהִקְרִ֨יב הַכֹּל֙ וְהִקְטִ֣יר הַמִּזְבֵּ֔חָה ה֗וּא עֹלָ֣ה אִשֵּׁ֛ה נִיחֹ֖חַ רֵ֥יחַ לַיהוָֽה׃פ wə·haq·qe·reḇ wə·hak·kə·rā·‘a·yim yir·ḥaṣ bam·mā·yim hak·kō·hên ’eṯ- wə·hiq·rîḇ hak·kōl wə·hiq·ṭîr ham·miz·bê·ḥāh hū ‘ō·lāh ’iš·šêh nî·ḥō·aḥ rê·aḥ Yah·weh — WLC · 13
καὶ τὰ ἐνκοίλια καὶ τοὺς πόδας πλυνοῦσιν ὕδατι· καὶ προσοίσει ὁ ἱερεὺς τὰ πάντα καὶ ἐπιθήσει ἐπὶ τὸ θυσιαστήριον· κάρπωμά ἐστιν θυσίας, ὀσμὴ εὐωδίας τῷ κυρίῳ. — LXX Swete · 13
14
If, instead, one’s offering to [[YHWH|the LORD]] is a burnt offering of birds, he is to present… a turtledove or… a young pigeon. -
וְאִ֧ם קָרְבָּנ֖וֹ לַֽיהוָ֑ה עֹלָ֥ה מִן־ הָע֛וֹף וְהִקְרִ֣יב קָרְבָּנֽוֹ׃ מִן־ הַתֹּרִ֗ים א֛וֹ מִן־ בְּנֵ֥י הַיּוֹנָ֖ה אֶת־ wə·’im qā·rə·bā·nōw Yah·weh ‘ō·lāh min- hā·‘ō·wp̄ wə·hiq·rîḇ qā·rə·bā·nōw min- hat·tō·rîm ’ōw min- bə·nê hay·yō·w·nāh ’eṯ- — WLC · 14
Ἐὰν δὲ ἀπὸ τῶν πετεινῶν κάρπωμα προσφέρῃς δῶρον τῷ κυρίῳ, καὶ προσοίσει ἀπὸ τῶν τρυγόνων ἢ ἀπὸ τῶν περιστερῶν τὸ δῶρον αὐτοῦ· — LXX Swete · 14
15
Then the priest shall bring it to the altar, twist off its head, and burn it on the altar; its blood should be drained out on the side of the altar.
הַכֹּהֵן֙ וְהִקְרִיב֤וֹ אֶל־ הַמִּזְבֵּ֔חַ וּמָלַק֙ אֶת־ רֹאשׁ֔וֹ וְהִקְטִ֖יר הַמִּזְבֵּ֑חָה דָמ֔וֹ וְנִמְצָ֣ה עַ֖ל קִ֥יר הַמִּזְבֵּֽחַ׃ hak·kō·hên wə·hiq·rî·ḇōw ’el- ham·miz·bê·aḥ ū·mā·laq ’eṯ- rō·šōw wə·hiq·ṭîr ham·miz·bê·ḥāh ḏā·mōw wə·nim·ṣāh ‘al qîr ham·miz·bê·aḥ — WLC · 15

16
And he is to remove the crop with its contents and throw it to the east side of the altar, in the place for ashes.
וְהֵסִ֥יר אֶת־ מֻרְאָת֖וֹ בְּנֹצָתָ֑הּ וְהִשְׁלִ֨יךְ אֹתָ֜הּ קֵ֔דְמָה אֵ֤צֶל הַמִּזְבֵּ֙חַ֙ אֶל־ מְק֖וֹם הַדָּֽשֶׁן׃ wə·hê·sîr ’eṯ- mur·’ā·ṯōw bə·nō·ṣā·ṯāh wə·hiš·lîḵ ’ō·ṯāh qê·ḏə·māh ’ê·ṣel ham·miz·bê·aḥ ’el- mə·qō·wm had·dā·šen — WLC · 16

17
He shall tear it open by its wings, without dividing [ the bird ] completely. And the priest is to burn it on the altar atop the burning wood. - It is a burnt offering, a food offering, a pleasing aroma to [[YHWH|the LORD]].
וְשִׁסַּ֨ע אֹת֣וֹ בִכְנָפָיו֮ לֹ֣א יַבְדִּיל֒ הַכֹּהֵן֙ וְהִקְטִ֨יר אֹת֤וֹ הַמִּזְבֵּ֔חָה עַל־ הָאֵ֑שׁ הָעֵצִ֖ים אֲשֶׁ֣ר עַל־ ה֗וּא עֹלָ֣ה אִשֵּׁ֛ה נִיחֹ֖חַ רֵ֥יחַ לַיהוָֽה׃ס wə·šis·sa‘ ’ō·ṯōw ḇiḵ·nā·p̄āw lō yaḇ·dîl hak·kō·hên wə·hiq·ṭîr ’ō·ṯōw ham·miz·bê·ḥāh ‘al- hā·’êš hā·‘ê·ṣîm ’ă·šer ‘al- hū ‘ō·lāh ’iš·šêh nî·ḥō·aḥ rê·aḥ Yah·weh — WLC · 17
καὶ ἐκκλάσει αὐτὸ ἐκ τῶν πτερύγων καὶ οὐ διελεῖ· καὶ ἐπιθήσει αὐτὸ ὁ ἱερεὺς ἐπὶ τὸ θυσιαστήριον ἐπὶ τὰ ξύλα τὰ ἐπὶ τοῦ πυρός· κάρπωμά ἐστιν, θυσία, ὀσμὴ εὐωδίας τῷ κυρίῳ. II — LXX Swete · 17
