⁶ in burnt-offerings, and concerning sin-offerings, Thou didst not delight,

¹ And Jehovah calleth unto Moses, and speaketh unto him out of the tent of meeting, saying,

² `Speak unto the sons of Israel, and thou hast said unto them, Any man of you when he doth bring near an offering to Jehovah, out of the cattle -- out of the herd, or out of the flock -- ye do bring near your offering.

³ `If his offering `is' a burnt-offering out of the herd -- a male, a perfect one, he doth bring near, unto the opening of the tent of meeting he doth bring it near, at his pleasure, before Jehovah;

⁴ and he hath laid his hand on the head of the burnt-offering, and it hath been accepted for him to make atonement for him;

⁵ and he hath slaughtered the son of the herd before Jehovah; and sons of Aaron, the priests, have brought the blood near, and sprinkled the blood on the altar round about, which `is' at the opening of the tent of meeting.

⁶ `And he hath stripped the burnt-offering, and hath cut it into its pieces;

¹¹ Jehovah is pleased with those fearing Him, With those waiting for His kindness.

¹⁰ Who `is' even among you, And he shutteth the two-leaved doors? Yea, ye do not kindle Mine altar for nought, I have no pleasure in you, said Jehovah of Hosts, And a present I do not accept of your hand.

¹⁷ and lo, a voice out of the heavens, saying, `This is My Son -- the Beloved, in whom I did delight.'

² and walk in love, as also the Christ did love us, and did give himself for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for an odour of a sweet smell,

¹⁸ and I have all things, and abound; I am filled, having received from Epaphroditus the things from you -- an odour of a sweet smell -- a sacrifice acceptable, well-pleasing to God:

⁴ for it is impossible for blood of bulls and goats to take away sins.
