Leviticus 1:2-4

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

² Speak to the children of Israel, and thou shalt say to them: The man among you that shall offer to the Lord a sacrifice of the cattle, that is, offering victims of oxen and sheep,

³ If his offering be a holocaust, and of the herd, he shall offer a male without blemish, at the door of the testimony, to make the Lord favourable to him:

⁴ And he shall put his hand upon the head of the victim, and it shall be acceptable, and help to its expiation.
