(Leviticus 6:8–13)
Then the LORD called to Moses and spoke to him from the Tent of Meeting, saying, Exo 19:3Exo 25:22Exo 40:34-35Exo 29:42Exo 24:1-2Exo 24:12Exo 33:7Exo 39:32 “Speak to the Israelites and tell them: When any of you brings an offering to the LORD, you may bring as your offering an animal from the herd or the flock. Lev 22:18-19Rom 12:61Ch 16:29Eph 5:2Gen 4:3Gen 4:5Rom 12:1
If one’s offering is a burnt offering from the herd, he is to present an unblemished male. He must bring it to the entrance to the Tent of Meeting for its acceptance before the LORD. Deu 15:21Heb 9:14Lev 22:19-24Exo 12:5Eph 5:27Heb 10:8-10Deu 17:1Heb 7:26 He is to lay his hand on the head of the burnt offering, so it can be accepted on his behalf to make atonement for him. 2Ch 29:23-24Lev 3:2Lev 3:8Exo 29:10Exo 29:15Lev 4:20Lev 4:26Rom 12:1

If, however, one’s offering is a burnt offering from the flock—from the sheep or goats—he is to present an unblemished male. Lev 1:2-3Gen 8:20Lev 22:19Mal 1:14Exo 12:5Isa 53:6-7Jhn 1:29Lev 4:23 He shall slaughter it on the north side of the altar before the LORD, and Aaron’s sons the priests are to sprinkle its blood against the altar on all sides.

The entrails and legs must be washed with water, and the priest shall bring all of it and burn it on the altar; it is a burnt offering, an offering made by fire, a pleasing aroma to the LORD. Lev 1:9
If, instead, one’s offering to the LORD is a burnt offering of birds, he is to present a turtledove or a young pigeon. Lev 5:7Luk 2:24Lev 12:82Co 8:12Gen 15:9Heb 7:26Mat 11:29 Then the priest shall bring it to the altar, twist off its head, and burn it on the altar; its blood should be drained out on the side of the altar. 1Jn 2:27Isa 53:10Isa 53:4-5Lev 5:8-9Mat 26:1-27Psa 22:1Psa 22:21Psa 69:1-21 And he is to remove the crop with its contents 1and throw it to the east side of the altar, in the place for ashes. 1Pe 1:2Heb 13:11-14Lev 16:27Lev 4:12Luk 1:35Lev 6:10-11 He shall tear it open by its wings, without dividing the bird completely.
