How did I ever misread this?

I was always had the mental picture that only the priests were allowed to sacrifice at the Tent of Meeting. (I don't know whether this is true for the Temple service, but I'll look into that.)

But reading Leviticus 1 this morning it stood out to me that the man bringing the sacrifice has to slaughter the animal and cut it apart. The priests then place the meat on the altar. If the #sacrifice is a pigeon then the #priest does everything.

Is this how you understand it as well as this is news to me and I have read these passages many times in my live and never "saw" this?

This is and has always been so, in both the Mishkan (Tabernacle) and the Hekal (Temple). Certain sacrifices must be brought by a kohain (priest), but many or most can optionally be slain by the offerer with oversight by a kohain. A few sacrifices MUST be slain by the offerer personally.
To make a sacrifice lawfully, the offerer must be a member of the people of Yisrael and in a properly cleansed state. Yet, even uncleansed gentiles could make a sacrifice through the kohanim as intermediaries, though they were not allowed into the Temple precincts to witness it. This is all according to Torah law.
If anyone wishes to learn Torah law in detail, both the rabbinical version of 613 and those commands not listed specifically by the rabbis, I recommend our recent series on this which can be found on the YouTube channel of Sabbath Keepers Fellowship. It goes through the entire yearly cycle of Torah portions, week by week, listing and briefly expounding on every command. The series is presently new, having just recently been completed, and is still raw and unedited, but all available to view. Soon, we hope to have the edited version complete, which will omit the post-lesson comments and questions by others and will be much shorter.
For those who claim or wish to be truly "Torah-Observant," learning what all Torah law is becomes rather important, don't you think?

Yes, , now that you pointed it out "he" seems to refer to the one bringing the burnt offering. Whenever the priest is reffered to, it says "the priest" clearly. Good eye!

This is how I understood and taught it in our congregation.

There is sooooo much about the sacrifices that we don’t understand because for so long we have believed it to be completely irrelevant.
