Numbers 28:16-25

Passover Offerings

16 ¹“On the fourteenth day of the first month is the Lord’s Passover,

17 ²and on the fifteenth day of this month is a feast. Seven days shall unleavened bread be eaten.

18 ³On the first day there shall be a holy convocation. You shall not do any ordinary work,

19 but offer a food offering, a burnt offering to the Lord: two bulls from the herd, one ram, and seven male lambs a year old; ⁴see that they are without blemish;

20 also their grain offering of fine flour mixed with oil; three tenths of an ephah shall you offer for a bull, and two tenths for a ram;

21 a tenth shall you offer for each of the seven lambs;

22 also ⁵one male goat for a sin offering, to make atonement for you.

23 You shall offer these besides the burnt offering of the morning, which is for a regular burnt offering.

24 In the same way you shall offer daily, for seven days, the food of a food offering, with a pleasing aroma to the Lord. It shall be offered besides the regular burnt offering and its drink offering.

25 And ⁶on the seventh day you shall have a holy convocation. You shall not do any ordinary work.
