You can link to a Facebook video, but that link is not particularly enticing and it sends visitors away from your website.

What is enticing is to embed the video directly in your website.

First you have to get the ID number of the Facebook video.

If the video is on your News Feed, then in the description text above the video is link with the word "video". If you click on that link it should take you to that video's page. The URL of that page in your browser's address bar should look something like this.

www.facebook.com/video/video.php?v=1536371641693

The number after the "v=" is the video ID number. You just need to insert that number in the following below on your website. You can change the other parameters as needed.

<object width="400" height="224" >
<param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" />
<param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" />
<param name="movie"
value="http://www.facebook.com/v/1536371641693" />
<embed src="http://www.facebook.com/v/1536371641693"
type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"
width="400" height="224">
</embed>
</object>

It appears like so.
