Leviticus 1:16-17
The Message
14-17 “If a bird is presented to God for the Whole-Burnt-Offering it can be either a dove or a pigeon. The priest will bring it to the Altar, wring off its head, and burn it on the Altar. But he will first drain the blood on the side of the Altar, remove the gizzard and its contents, and throw them on the east side of the Altar where the ashes are piled. Then rip it open by its wings but leave it in one piece and burn it on the Altar on the wood prepared for the fire: a Whole-Burnt-Offering, a Fire-Gift, a pleasing fragrance to God.”

Leviticus 1:16-17
New International Version
16 He is to remove the crop and the feathers[a] and throw them down east of the altar where the ashes(A) are. 17 He shall tear it open by the wings, not dividing it completely,(B) and then the priest shall burn it on the wood(C) that is burning on the altar. It is a burnt offering, a food offering, an aroma pleasing to the Lord.
