²⁵ But Moses said, “You must also give ^[a]us sacrifices and burnt offerings, that we may sacrifice to the Lord our God.

²⁴ An altar of ^(A)earth you shall make for Me, and you shall sacrifice on it your burnt offerings and your peace offerings, ^(B)your sheep and your oxen. In every ^(C)place where I ^[a]record My name I will come to you, and I will ^(D)bless you.

^29 (A)And he put the altar of burnt offering before the door of the tabernacle of the tent of meeting, and ^(B)offered upon it the burnt offering and the grain offering, as the Lord had commanded Moses.

³ ‘If his offering is a burnt sacrifice of the herd, let him offer a male ^(A)without blemish; he shall offer it of his own free will at the door of the tabernacle of meeting before the Lord.

^29 (A)And he shall lay his hand on the head of the sin offering, and kill the sin offering at the place of the burnt offering.

The Law of the Burnt Offering

⁸ Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, ⁹ “Command Aaron and his sons, saying, ‘This is the ^(A)law of the burnt offering: The burnt offering shall be on the hearth upon the altar all night until morning, and the fire of the altar shall be kept burning on it. ^10 (B)And the priest shall put on his linen garment, and his linen trousers he shall put on his body, and take up the ashes of the burnt offering which the fire has consumed on the altar, and he shall put them ^(C)beside the altar. ¹¹ Then ^(D)he shall take off his garments, put on other garments, and carry the ashes outside the camp ^(E)to a clean place. ¹² And the fire on the altar shall be kept burning on it; it shall not be put out. And the priest shall burn wood on it every morning, and lay the burnt offering in order on it; and he shall burn on it ^(F)the fat of the peace offerings. ¹³ A fire shall always be burning on the ^(G)altar; it shall never go out.

¹¹ and the priest shall offer one as a sin offering and the other as a burnt offering, and make atonement for him, because he sinned in regard to the corpse; and he shall sanctify his head that same day.

²⁶ and build an altar to the Lord your God on top of this ^[a]rock in the proper arrangement, and take the second bull and offer a burnt sacrifice with the wood of the image which you shall cut down.”
