    Atlas's own reading, written from this chapter and nothing else, and published only once a person has approved it. Each scene names the verses it covers; the names inside it link to the people and places they name.

    The bird offering gets the chapter’s most exacting choreography: its head comes off, its crop goes east with the ashes, and its wings are opened without quite dividing it.

    The larger offeringsvv. 1–13

    The LORD calls Moses from the Tent of Meeting and gives him instructions for offerings brought by the Israelites. A bull, sheep, or goat must be unblemished and male; the offerer lays a hand on its head, then the priests handle the blood, the fire, the wood, the pieces, and even the washing of entrails and legs. It is all arranged at the altar as a burnt offering and a food offering, with the pleasing aroma arriving after a remarkably thorough preparation.

    The bird, in particularvv. 14–17

    The bird offering is smaller, but the instructions become no less particular. A turtledove or young pigeon is brought to the altar; the priest twists off its head, drains its blood, removes its crop and contents to the east side among the ashes, and tears it by the wings without dividing it completely. Then it too goes onto the burning wood as a food offering and a pleasing aroma to the LORD.

    1. Lev 1:1Then the LORD called to Moses and spoke to him from the Tent of Meeting, saying,

    2. Lev 1:2“Speak to the Israelites and tell them: When any of you brings an offering to the LORD, you may bring as your offering an animal from the herd or the flock.

    3. Lev 1:3If his offering is a burnt offering from the herd, he is to present an unblemished male. He must bring it to the entrance to the Tent of Meeting for its acceptance before the LORD.

    4. Lev 1:4He is to lay his hand on the head of the burnt offering, so it can be accepted on his behalf to make atonement for him.

    5. Lev 1:5And he shall slaughter the young bull before the LORD, and Aaron’s sons the priests are to present the blood and splatter it on all sides of the altar at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting.

    6. Lev 1:6Next, he is to skin the burnt offering and cut it into pieces.

    7. Lev 1:7The sons of Aaron the priest shall put a fire on the altar and arrange wood on the fire.

    8. Lev 1:8Then Aaron’s sons the priests are to arrange the pieces, including the head and the fat, atop the burning wood on the altar.

    9. Lev 1:9The entrails and legs must be washed with water, and the priest shall burn all of it on the altar as a burnt offering, a food offering, a pleasing aroma to the LORD.

    10. Lev 1:10If, however, one’s offering is a burnt offering from the flock—from the sheep or goats—he is to present an unblemished male.

    11. Lev 1:11He shall slaughter it on the north side of the altar before the LORD, and Aaron’s sons the priests are to splatter its blood against the altar on all sides.

    12. Lev 1:12He is to cut the animal into pieces, and the priest shall arrange them, including the head and fat, atop the burning wood that is on the altar.

    13. Lev 1:13The entrails and legs must be washed with water, and the priest shall present all of it and burn it on the altar; it is a burnt offering, a food offering, a pleasing aroma to the LORD.

    14. Lev 1:14If, instead, one’s offering to the LORD is a burnt offering of birds, he is to present a turtledove or a young pigeon.

    15. Lev 1:15Then the priest shall bring it to the altar, twist off its head, and burn it on the altar; its blood should be drained out on the side of the altar.

    16. Lev 1:16And he is to remove the crop with its contents and throw it to the east side of the altar, in the place for ashes.

    17. Lev 1:17He shall tear it open by its wings, without dividing the bird completely. And the priest is to burn it on the altar atop the burning wood. It is a burnt offering, a food offering, a pleasing aroma to the LORD.’’

    Who else the chapter reaches

    Names written in the English are linked in the text above. These are the ones that are not: an entity the Hebrew or Greek names under a spelling the translation does not use, or one reached only by an assertion about a verse of this chapter.

    Named in the Hebrew or Greek somewhere in this chapter, under a form the English renders differently — the registry's Ludim against the translation's Ludites — so there is no word in the sentence to hang the link on.
