15 And the Priest shall bring it unto the altar, and [a]wring the neck of it asunder, and burn it on the altar: and the blood thereof shall be [b]shed upon the side of the altar.

16 And he shall pluck out his maw with his feathers, and cast them beside the altar on the [c]East part in the place of the ashes.

17 And he shall cleave it with his wings, but not divide it asunder: and the Priest shall burn it upon the altar upon the wood that is in the fire: for it is a burnt offering, an oblation made by fire for a sweet savor unto the Lord.
