And He called to Moshe, and Adonoy spoke to him from the Tent of Meeting, saying:

AND the Lord called to Moshe, and spoke to him out of the Tent of Meeting, saying,

And He called (vayikra) [("kriyah" is an expression of endearment)] to Moses [(G-d's voice reached Moses' ears only)], and the L-rd spoke (vayedaber) [(There is "calling" only for (initial) "speaking" (dibbur), and not for pauses (subsections within the sections)] to him [and not to Aaron] from the tent of meeting [(the voice "cutting off" and not traveling beyond the tent of meeting)], "saying" [i.e., Speak to them (Israel) with "suasion"]

Speak to Bnei Yisroel and say to them; [if] a man among you will bring an offering to Adonoy; of animals, cattle or sheep you should bring your offering.

Speak to the children of Yisra᾽el, and say to them, If any man of you bring an offering to the Lord, of the cattle shall you bring your offering, of the herd, and of the flock.

Speak to the children of Israel and say to them: A man (adam) [(Just as Adam did not sacrifice what was stolen, so, you)], if he offer from you an offering to the L-rd, from the beasts [(but not all — to exclude participants, active or passive, in sodomy)], from the cattle [(to exclude objects of idolatry)] and from the sheep [(to exclude animals designated for idolatry) ("from the beasts" like cattle and sheep, but not undomesticated animals) ("and from the sheep" — to exclude animals which gored men to death)] shall you (plural) offer [(two may offer a burnt-offering in partnership)] your (plural) offering [(It may be a communal gift offering)].

If his offering is a burnt-offering of cattle he shall bring an unblemished male; to the entrance of the Tent of Meeting he shall bring it, that it be favorably accepted from him before Adonoy.

If his offering be a burnt sacrifice of the herd, let him offer a male without blemish: he shall offer it at the door of the Tent of Meeting, that he may be accepted before the Lord.

If his offering is a burnt-offering, from the cattle [("from") — to exclude a treifah (a "torn," ritually unfit, animal)], a male, [and not a female], without blemish, shall he offer it; to the door of the tent of meeting shall he bring it [(He must attend to getting it to the azarah (the Temple court)], of his own volition, before the L-rd [(There is no semichah (4) at a bamah (a temporary altar)].

He shall lay his hand on the head of the burnt-offering and it will be favorably accepted from him to achieve his atonement.

And he shall put his hand upon the head of the burnt offering; and it shall be accepted for him to make atonement for him.

And he shall place (vesamach) his hand on the head of the [(excluding (from semichah) the burnt-offering of fowl)] burnt-offering [(including an obligatory burnt-offering and the burnt-offering of sheep)], and it shall be acceptable for him to make atonement for him [for transgressions of positive commandments or for negative commandments linked to positive commandments].

He shall slaughter the calf before Adonoy and the sons of Aharon, the kohanim, will bring the blood and they will sprinkle the blood all around the altar, which is at the entrance of the Tent of Meeting.

And he shall kill the bullock before the Lord: and the priests, Aharon’s sons, shall bring the blood, and sprinkle the blood round about upon the altar that is by the door of the Tent of Meeting.

And he shall slaughter [(It is permissible for a non-priest to slaughter)] the bullock before the L-rd [in the azarah], and the sons of Aaron, the priests [(they must be fit for the priesthood)] shall present [i.e., receive and bring] the blood, and they shall dash the blood [(including blood which intermingled with that of an offering of its kind or of another kind)] on the altar roundabout [(two "dashings" (from a vessel) on two (diagonally) opposite corners of the altar)], which is at the entrance of the tent of meeting [(but not when the tent of meeting is dismantled)].

He shall skin the burnt-offering and cut it into its pieces.

And he shall flay the burnt offering, and cut it into its pieces.

And he shall flay the burnt-offering [(all burnt-offerings are included)], and he shall cut it into its pieces [(but not its pieces into pieces)].

The sons of Aharon the kohein shall place [ignite] a fire on the altar and they shall arrange logs on the fire.

And the sons of Aharon the priest shall put fire upon the altar, and lay the wood in order upon the fire:

And the sons of Aaron the priest [(in his "priesthood," If he officiated in the garments of an ordinary priest, his service is invalid)] shall put fire upon the altar [(Even though fire descends from heaven, it is a mitzvah to bring man-made fire)], and they shall arrange wood upon the fire.

The sons of Aharon, the kohanim, shall arrange the pieces, the head and the fat on the logs which are on the fire that is on the altar.

and the priests, Aharon’s sons, shall lay the parts, the head, and the fat, in order upon the wood that is on the fire which is upon the altar:

And the sons of Aaron, the priests [(in their "priesthood." If they officiate in the eight garments of the high-priest, their service is invalid)] shall arrange the pieces, the head [(which was cut off and not flayed)] and the suet [(which is brought up with the head to cover the shechitah site (a deferential act)] upon the wood upon the fire, which is upon the altar [(Pieces of wood should not stick out beyond the wood pile)].

He shall wash its innards and its legs in water; and the kohein shall burn it all on the altar [for the purpose of] a burnt-offering, a fire-offering of pleasing fragrance to Adonoy.

but its inwards and its legs shall he wash in water: and the priest shall burn all on the altar, to be a burnt sacrifice, an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour to the Lord.

And its innards and its legs shall he wash with water, and the Cohein shall smoke the whole upon the altar, [specifically] as a burnt-offering, a fire-offering [(He must slaughter it to that end)], a sweet savor, ["gratifying," (in that His will was done)], to the L-rd.

If his offering is from flocks of sheep—of lambs or of goats—for a burnt-offering, he shall bring an unblemished male.

And if his offering be of the flocks, namely, of the sheep, or of the goats, for a burnt sacrifice; he shall bring it a male without blemish.

And, [(Whatever applies to "cattle" (3) applies to "flock" and vice versa)] if from the flock is his offering, of the sheep or of the goats, [(excluding the old, sick, or malodorous)], as a burnt-offering, a male [(and not one whose sex is in doubt or a hermaphrodite), without blemish shall he offer it.

He shall slaughter it on the north side of the altar before Adonoy; and the sons of Aharon, the kohanim, will sprinkle its blood all around the altar.

And he shall kill it on the side of the altar northward before the Lord: and the priests, Aharon’s sons, shall sprinkle its blood round about on the altar.

And he shall slaughter it on the side of the altar northward before the L-rd [(There is no "northward" (requirement) at a bamah (a temporary altar)], and the sons of Aaron, the Cohanim, shall dash its blood on the altar roundabout.

He shall sever it into its pieces—and its head, and [remove] its fats; and the kohein shall arrange them on the logs which are on the fire that is on the altar.

And he shall cut it into its pieces, with its head and its fat: and the priest shall lay them in order on the wood that is on the fire which is on the altar:

And he shall cut it into its pieces, and its head, and its suet; and the Cohein shall arrange them upon the wood upon the fire, which is upon the altar.

He shall wash the innards and feet in water and the kohein shall bring it all and burn it on the altar. It is a burnt-offering; a fire-offering of pleasing fragrance to Adonoy.

but he shall wash the inwards and the legs with water: and the priest shall bring it all, and burn it upon the altar: it is a burnt sacrifice, an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour to the Lord.

And the innards and the legs he shall wash with water, and the Cohein shall offer the whole, and he shall smoke it upon the altar. It is a burnt-offering, a fire-offering, a sweet savor to the L-rd.

If his burnt-offering to Adonoy is of fowl, he shall bring either turtledoves or the young pigeons [as] his offering.

And if the burnt sacrifice for his offering to the Lord be of birds, then he shall bring his offering of turtledoves, or of young pigeons.

And if from the fowl [(excluding a bird that is missing a limb)], a burnt-offering, is his offering to the L-rd, then shall he offer his offering from the turtle-doves [(grown ones and not small ones)] or from the young pigeons [(small ones and not grown ones)] [("from the turtle-doves or from the young pigeons") — excluding those whose plumage has just begun brightening].

The kohein shall bring it near the altar and nip off its head [with his fingernail] and burn it on the altar; and its blood shall be squeezed out onto the wall of the altar.

And the priest shall bring it to the altar, and wring off its head, and burn it on the altar; and its blood shall be wrung out at the side of the altar:

And the Cohein shall bring it [(even a single pigeon)] near to the altar, and he shall pinch off its head [(He cuts with his nail against the nape until he reaches the shechitah signs — gullet and windpipe — which he severs)], and he shall smoke it upon the altar; and its blood shall be wrung out [before smoking] against the wall of the altar [(He presses the shechitah site against it and the blood drains down)].

He shall remove its crop [together] with its feathers and throw it beside the altar, eastward, to the place of the ashes.

and he shall remove its crop with its feathers, and cast it beside the altar on the east part, by the place of the ashes:

And he shall remove its crop with its entrails, and he shall cast it beside the altar on the east [of the ramp], in the place of the ashes [removed from the altar and from the menorah].

He shall rip it apart by its wings, not completely dividing it. The kohein shall burn it on the altar, on the logs which are on the fire; it is a burnt-offering, a fire-offering of pleasing fragrance to Adonoy.

and he shall rend it by its wings, but shall not divide it asunder: and the priest shall burn it on the altar, on the wood that is on the fire: it is a burnt sacrifice, an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour to the Lord.

And he shall rend it with its feathers [(He need not pluck them out)]; he shall not divide it [completely (but he tears it along its back)]. And the Cohein shall smoke it on the altar, on the wood which is on the fire. It is a burnt-offering, a fire-offering, a sweet savor to the L-rd.
