Leviticus 1 , Verse 1-9
The Burnt Offering
The Lord called to Moses and spoke to him from the tent of meeting. He said, 2 “Speak to the Israelites and say to them: ‘When anyone among you brings an offering to the Lord, bring as your offering an animal from either the herd or the flock. 3 “‘If the offering is a burnt offering from the herd, you are to offer a male without defect. You must present it at the entrance to the tent of meeting so that it will be acceptable to the Lord. 4 You are to lay your hand on the head of the burnt offering, and it will be accepted on your behalf to make atonement for you. 5 You are to slaughter the young bull before the Lord, and then Aaron’s sons the priests shall bring the blood and splash it against the sides of the altar at the entrance to the tent of meeting. 6 You are to skin the burnt offering and cut it into pieces. 7 The sons of Aaron the priest are to put fire on the altar and arrange wood on the fire. 8 Then Aaron’s sons the priests shall arrange the pieces, including the head and the fat, on the wood that is burning on the altar. 9 You are to wash the internal organs and the legs with water, and the priest is to burn all of it on the altar. It is a burnt offering, a food offering, an aroma pleasing to the Lord.
My point of view about above verses
God told Moses tell Israelites to bring offerings of animal from their live stocks.
God tells the procedure of offering of burnt offering – For burnt offering from the herd the animal should be male without defect so that it is acceptable to God. The person who is offering it has to lay his hand on the head of burnt offering – then it will be accepted as atonement for you. Priest has to arrange the pieces of burnt offering on alter and burn it – It’s a food offering a pleasing aroma to the Lord your God
