烧化祭的条例
上主从他的圣幕里召唤摩西,吩咐他向以色列人民颁布以下的条例。
你们当中若有人要献牲祭给上主,可以献牛群中的牛,或羊群中的羊。如果他献牛作烧化祭,必须选用没有残缺的公牛,带它到上主的圣幕门口,上主就会接纳。他要把手放在祭牲的头上;这烧化祭就蒙接纳,能替他赎罪。他要在上主面前把这头公牛宰了;亚伦系的祭司要把祭牲的血献上,然后把这血洒在圣幕门口的祭坛四周。接着,他要剥祭牲的皮,把肉切成块;祭司们要把柴火摆好在祭坛上,点火,把肉块,包括头和脂肪都放在祭坛的火上面烧。他必须用水洗涤祭牲的内脏和后腿;祭司要把全部祭牲放在祭坛上烧献。这火祭的香味是上主喜悦的。
若有人献绵羊或山羊作烧化祭,他必须选用没有残缺的公羊。他要在祭坛的北面,在上主面前把这只公羊宰了;亚伦系的祭司要把祭牲的血洒在祭坛四周。他把肉切成块以后,祭司要把全部祭牲,包括头和脂肪都放在祭坛的火上面烧。他必须用水洗涤祭牲的内脏和后腿;祭司要把全部祭牲放在祭坛上烧献。这火祭的香味是上主喜悦的。
若有人献鸟类给上主作烧化祭,他必须选用斑鸠或鸽子。祭司要把鸟带到祭坛上,扭断它的头,把头放在坛上烧,在祭坛旁边让它的血流干。他要把鸟的嗉囊和留在里面的东西一起除掉,丢在祭坛东边那倒灰的地方。他要拿着鸟的两个翅膀,把鸟撕开,但是不要把翅膀撕下,然后把它全部放在祭坛上烧献。这火祭的香味是上主喜悦的。

Sacrifices Burned Whole
The LORD called to Moses from the Tent of the LORD's presence and gave him the following rules for the Israelites to observe when they offer their sacrifices.
When you offer an animal sacrifice, it may be one of your cattle or one of your sheep or goats. If you are offering one of your cattle as a burnt offering, you must bring a bull without any defects. You must present it at the entrance of the Tent of the LORD's presence so that the LORD will accept you. You shall put your hand on its head, and it will be accepted as a sacrifice to take away your sins. You 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 located at the entrance of the Tent. Then you shall skin the animal and cut it up, and the priests shall arrange firewood on the altar and light it. They shall put on the fire the pieces of the animal, including the head and the fat. You must wash the internal organs and the hind legs, and the officiating priest will burn the whole sacrifice on the altar. The odor of this food offering is pleasing to the LORD.
If you are offering one of your sheep or goats, it must be a male without any defects. You shall kill it on the north side of the altar, and the priests shall throw its blood on all four sides of the altar. After you cut it up, the officiating priest shall put on the fire all the parts, including the head and the fat. You must wash the internal organs and the hind legs, and the priest will present the sacrifice to the LORD and burn all of it on the altar. The odor of this food offering is pleasing to the LORD.
If you are offering a bird as a burnt offering, it must be a dove or a pigeon. The priest shall present it at the altar, wring its neck, and burn its head on the altar. Its blood shall be drained out against the side of the altar. He shall remove the crop and its contents and throw them away on the east side of the altar where the ashes are put. He shall take hold of its wings and tear its body open, without tearing the wings off, and then burn it whole on the altar. The odor of this food offering is pleasing to the LORD.
