Bible

1:1 And the voice of the Lord came to Moses out of the Tent of meeting, saying,

1:2 Give these orders to the children of Israel: When anyone of you makes an offering to the Lord, you are to take it from the cattle, from the herd or from the flock.

1:3 If the offering is a burned offering of the herd, let him give a male without a mark: he is to give it at the door of the Tent of meeting so that he may be pleasing to the Lord.

1:4 And he is to put his hand on the head of the burned offering and it will be taken for him, to take away his sin.

1:5 And the ox is to be put to death before the Lord: then Aaron's sons, the priests, are to take the blood and put some of it on and round the altar which is at the door of the Tent of meeting.

1:6 And the burned offering is to be skinned and cut up into its parts.

1:7 And Aaron's sons, the priests, are to put fire on the altar and put the wood in order on the fire:

8:1 And God kept Noah in mind, and all the living things and the cattle which were with him in the ark: and God sent a wind over the earth, and the waters went down.

8:2 And the fountains of the deep and the windows of heaven were shut, and the rain from heaven was stopped.

The nativity narratives in the Gospel of Luke and the Gospel of Matthew focus on quite different aspects of the event. The Gospel of Mark, considered the earliest and most historical gospel according to the doctrine of Markan priority, does not include a nativity narrative.
