燔祭的条例
耶和华从会幕中呼叫摩西，吩咐他说：
And the LORD called unto Moses, and spake unto him out of the tabernacle of the congregation, saying,
2“你要吩咐以色列人，对他们说：你们中间若有人要献供物给耶和华，可以从牛群羊群中献牲畜为供物。Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, If any man of you bring an offering unto the LORD, ye shall bring your offering of the cattle, even of the herd, and of the flock.
3“他的供物若以牛为燔祭，要献一头没有残疾的公牛，献在会幕的门口，他就可以在耶和华面前蒙悦纳。If his offering be a burnt sacrifice of the herd, let him offer a male without blemish: he shall offer it of his own voluntary will at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation before the LORD.
4他要按手在燔祭牲的头上，为自己赎罪，就蒙悦纳。And he shall put his hand upon the head of the burnt offering; and it shall be accepted for him to make atonement for him.
5他要在耶和华面前宰公牛犊；亚伦子孙作祭司的要献上血，把血洒在会幕门口坛的周围。And he shall kill the bullock before the LORD: and the priests, Aaron's sons, shall bring the blood, and sprinkle the blood round about upon the altar that is by the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.
6他要剥去燔祭牲的皮，把燔祭牲切成块。And he shall flay the burnt offering, and cut it into his pieces.
7亚伦祭司的子孙要在坛上生火，把柴摆在火上。And the sons of Aaron the priest shall put fire upon the altar, and lay the wood in order upon the fire:
8亚伦子孙作祭司的要把肉块连头和脂肪，摆在坛上烧着火的柴上。And the priests, Aaron's sons, shall lay the parts, the head, and the fat, in order upon the wood that is on the fire which is upon the altar:
9燔祭牲的内脏与小腿要用水洗净，祭司要把整只全烧在坛上，当作燔祭，是献给耶和华为馨香的火祭。But his inwards and his legs shall he wash in water: and the priest shall burn all on the altar, to be a burnt sacrifice, an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the LORD.
10“人的供物若以绵羊或山羊为燔祭，要献一只没有残疾的公羊。And if his offering be of the flocks, namely, of the sheep, or of the goats, for a burnt sacrifice; he shall bring it a male without blemish.
11他要在坛的北边，在耶和华面前宰羊；亚伦子孙作祭司的要把血洒在坛的周围。And he shall kill it on the side of the altar northward before the LORD: and the priests, Aaron's sons, shall sprinkle his blood round about upon the altar.
12他要把燔祭牲切成块，祭司就要把肉块连头和脂肪，摆在坛上烧着火的柴上。And he shall cut it into his pieces, with his head and his fat: and the priest shall lay them in order on the wood that is on the fire which is upon the altar:
13内脏与小腿要用水洗净，祭司要把整只献上，全烧在坛上。这是燔祭，是献给耶和华为馨香的火祭。But he shall wash the inwards and the legs with water: and the priest shall bring it all, and burn it upon the altar: it is a burnt sacrifice, an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the LORD.
14“人献给耶和华的供物若以鸟为燔祭，就要献斑鸠或雏鸽为他的供物。And if the burnt sacrifice for his offering to the LORD be of fowls, then he shall bring his offering of turtledoves, or of young pigeons.
15祭司要把鸟拿到坛前，扭断它的头，把鸟烧在坛上，鸟的血要流在坛的旁边；And the priest shall bring it unto the altar, and wring off his head, and burn it on the altar; and the blood thereof shall be wrung out at the side of the altar:
16又要把鸟的嗉囊和里面的脏物☛“脏物”或译“羽毛”。除掉，丢在坛东边倒灰的地方。And he shall pluck away his crop with his feathers, and cast it beside the altar on the east part, by the place of the ashes:
17他要拿着鸟的两个翅膀，把鸟撕开，却不可撕断；祭司要把它摆在坛上烧着火的柴上焚烧。这是燔祭，是献给耶和华为馨香的火祭。”And he shall cleave it with the wings thereof, but shall not divide it asunder: and the priest shall burn it upon the altar, upon the wood that is upon the fire: it is a burnt sacrifice, an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the LORD.
