⁶ You had no joy in burned offerings or in offerings for sin.

¹ And the voice of the Lord came to Moses out of the Tent of meeting, saying,

² Give these orders to the children of Israel: When anyone of you makes an offering to the Lord, you are to take it from the cattle, from the herd or from the flock.

³ If the offering is a burned offering of the herd, let him give a male without a mark: he is to give it at the door of the Tent of meeting so that he may be pleasing to the Lord.

⁴ And he is to put his hand on the head of the burned offering and it will be taken for him, to take away his sin.

⁵ And the ox is to be put to death before the Lord: then Aaron's sons, the priests, are to take the blood and put some of it on and round the altar which is at the door of the Tent of meeting.

⁶ And the burned offering is to be skinned and cut up into its parts.

¹¹ The Lord takes pleasure in his worshippers, and in those whose hope is in his mercy.

¹⁰ If only there was one among you who would see that the doors were shut, so that you might not put a light to the fire on my altar for nothing! I have no pleasure in you, says the Lord of armies, and I will not take an offering from your hands.

¹⁷ And a voice came out of heaven, saying, This is my dearly loved Son, with whom I am well pleased.

² And be living in love, even as Christ had love for you, and gave himself up for us, an offering to God for a perfume of a sweet smell.

¹⁸ I have all things and more than enough: I am made full, having had from Epaphroditus the things which came from you, a perfume of a sweet smell, an offering well pleasing to God.

⁴ Because it is not possible for the blood of oxen and goats to take away sins.
