Leviticus 1:10-13

The Burnt Offering: Nearness to God Through Total Surrender

The LORD calls from the tent of meeting and gives Israel an ordered way to draw near through the burnt offering, where an acceptable substitute is presented, slain, offered through priestly mediation, and wholly consumed before Him.

Berean Standard Bible, Public Domain - Translation notes - Reference sources

10If, however, one’s offering is a burnt offering from the flock—from the sheep or goats—he is to present an unblemished male.

11He shall slaughter it on the north side of the altar before the LORD, and Aaron’s sons the priests are to splatter its blood against the altar on all sides.

12He is to cut the animal into pieces, and the priest shall arrange them, including the head and fat, atop the burning wood that is on the altar.

13The entrails and legs must be washed with water, and the priest shall present all of it and burn it on the altar; it is a burnt offering, a food offering, a pleasing aroma to the LORD.
