Leviticus 1:1-3

New International Version - UK

The burnt offering

1 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.
