Leviticus 1:14-17
Holman Christian Standard Bible
14 “If his gift to the Lord is a burnt offering of birds,(A) he is to present his offering from the turtledoves(B) or young pigeons.[a](C) 15 Then the priest must bring it to the altar, and must twist off its head and burn it on the altar; its blood should be drained at the side of the altar. 16 He will remove its digestive tract,[b] cutting off the tail feathers, and throw it on the east side of the altar at the place for ashes.(D) 17 He will tear it open by its wings without dividing the bird.(E) Then the priest is to burn it on the altar on top of the burning wood. It is a burnt offering, a fire offering of a pleasing aroma to the Lord.

New International Version
14 “‘If the offering to the Lord is a burnt offering of birds, you are to offer a dove or a young pigeon.(A) 15 The priest shall bring it to the altar, wring off the head(B) and burn it on the altar; its blood shall be drained out on the side of the altar.(C) 16 He is to remove the crop and the feathers[a] and throw them down east of the altar where the ashes(D) are. 17 He shall tear it open by the wings, not dividing it completely,(E) and then the priest shall burn it on the wood(F) that is burning on the altar. It is a burnt offering, a food offering, an aroma pleasing to the Lord.
