Leviticus 1:2-4

The Voice

Eternal One: ² Moses, I want you to go talk with the Israelites and tell them how to perform ritual offerings: Any time one of you brings an offering to Me, you must bring the offering from the animals of either the herd or the flock. ³ If you are bringing a burnt offering from your herd, then you are to pick an unblemished bull. No diseased, weak, or injured animals are allowed. Offer it at the entrance to the congregation tent so that I can accept it. ⁴ The person offering the sacrifice shall place his hand on the head of the living animal, and the offering will be accepted to atone for the person’s sins.
