"Speak to the children of Israel, and tell them, 'When anyone of you offers an offering to YHWH, you shall offer your offering of the livestock, from the herd and from the flock.

"'If his offering is a burnt offering from the herd, he shall offer a male without blemish. He shall offer it at the door of the Tent of Meeting, that he may be accepted before YHWH.

9 But his inwards and his legs shall he wash in water: and the priest shall burn all on the altar, to be a burnt sacrifice, an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour to the LORD.
