Graphic Bible · Scene 9 of 9

A white linen priest attends a small bird offering burning on wood atop the bronze altar. A modest ash deposit beside altar and feather traces establish disposal context; no close-up mutilation. Natural smoke and morning courtyard light. Represents the prescribed rite without claiming every step is simultaneous.

15And the priest shall bring it to the altar, and pinch off its head and burn it on the altar, and its blood shall be drained out on the side of the altar.

16He shall remove its crop with its feathers and throw it beside the altar, on the east side, to the place of the ashes.

17He shall tear it open by its wings, but he shall not divide it; and the priest shall burn it on the altar, on the wood that is on the fire. It is a burnt offering, a food offering, a pleasing aroma to Yahweh.
