Who makes the offering?

Leviticus 1:2 (ESV)

2 “Speak to the people of Israel and say to them, When any one of you brings an offering to the LORD, you shall bring your offering of livestock from the herd or from the flock.

The following laws consider offerings made by the private person. Sacrifices had to be offered by those who had sinned or become ceremonially unclean. Conversely, national sacrifices that were offered each day and on annual occasions are listed in Numbers 28:1 – 29:40.
