Leviticus 1:2

Israel

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

“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 If one’s 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 He 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.

This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
