Leviticus is the book that speaks the most about sacrifices (ch.1-9, ch.12,14,16,22,24), though there are also brief passages about sacrifices in Genesis (ch.22 and 35), Exodus (ch.12 and 29), Numbers (ch.28-29), Deuteronomy (ch.12 and 27) and elsewhere.

Additional Comments:

Some biblical scholars believe the first reference to 'sacrifices' was in Genesis 4:4 where Cain brought a 'deficient' grain offering and Abel brought 'of the firstborn of his flock and of their fat.' The Scripture is silent as to the reasons for these offerings. Some think the brothers sacrifice were acts of worship vis-a-vis coming to God for forgiveness. In either case, Abel's offering was "more excellent" than Cain's because of Abel's faith in the Lord (see Hebrews 11:4).
