and say to them; A mam of you who would offer an offering to the EVER- LNING, cam offer it from the herd, or from the fold, or from the flock. ‘ If they offera burnt offering from

Then the sons of Aaron the priest shall approach the blood, and sprinkle some of the blood around over the altar, that is at the door of the Hall of Assembly. Afterwards he shall skin the sacrifice and divide it into parts. Then the sons of Aaron the priest shall lay the parts of the head and fat in order upon the wood and put fire upon the altar, and arrange wood upon the nre that is on the altar, after washing the inwards and the feet in water, and the priest shall burn the whole of them on the altar as a sweet delightful perfume to theEvEn-Lxvmo.
