Leviticus 1:16-17
International Children’s Bible
16 The priest must remove the bird’s crop[a] and its contents. He must throw them on the east side of the altar. This is where they put the ashes from the altar. 17 Then the priest must tear the bird open by its wings. But he must not divide the bird into two parts. Then the priest must burn the bird on the altar. He must place it on the wood which is on the fire. It is a burnt offering, an offering made by fire. Its smell is pleasing to the Lord.
