Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them: If any one of you brings an offering unto Jehovah, you shall bring your offering of the livestock; of the herd and of the flock.

Abel also brought of the firstborn of his flock and of their fat. And Jehovah had regard for Abel and his offering,

And Noah built an altar unto Jehovah, and took of every clean animal and of every clean bird, and offered burnt offerings on the altar.

All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned, each one to his own way; and Jehovah has laid upon Him the iniquity of us all.

He has been oppressed, and He was afflicted; yet He opens not His mouth. He is brought as a lamb to the slaughter; and as a sheep before its shearers is mute, so He opens not His mouth.

The next day John sees Jesus coming toward him, and says, Behold the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!

If his offering is a burnt offering of the herd, let him offer a male that is whole; he shall offer it of his own free will at the door of the tent of meeting before Jehovah.

or if his sin which he has sinned comes to his knowledge, he shall bring as his offering a kid of the goats, a male that is whole.

you shall offer of your own will a male that is whole from the cattle, from the sheep, or from the goats.

But cursed be a deceiver when there is a male in his flock, he vows it, but sacrifices to the Lord what is blemished. For I am a great King, says Jehovah of Hosts, and My name is feared among the nations.
