1. The Lord called Moses, and spoke to him from the tent of meeting:
2. Speak to the Israelites and tell them: When any one of you brings an offering of livestock to the Lord, you shall bring your offering from the herd or from the flock.
3. If a person’s offering is a burnt offering from the herd, the offering must be a male without blemish. The individual shall bring it to the entrance of the tent of meeting to find favor with the Lord,
4. and shall lay a hand on the head of the burnt offering, so that it may be acceptable to make atonement for the one who offers it.
