Numbers 28

Daily Sacrifice

1 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
2 "Command the {Israelites} and say to them, '{You will be careful to present} my offering, my food of my offerings made by fire, of a fragrance of appeasement to me, at its appointed time.'
3 You will say to them, 'This [is] the offering made by fire that you will offer to Yahweh: two male lambs without defect {in their first year} as a continual burnt offering each day.
4 You will offer one male lamb in the morning, and the second male lamb you will offer {at twilight},
5 and a tenth of an ephah of finely milled flour as a grain offering, mixed with a fourth of a measure of beaten oil.
6 It is a continual burnt offering that was {ordained} on Mount Sinai as a fragrance of appeasement, an offering made by fire for Yahweh.
7 The libation with it [will be] a fourth of a liquid measure for each male lamb; in the sanctuary you will pour out the libation of fermented drink for Yahweh.
8 And the second male lamb you will offer {at twilight}; as the grain offering of the morning and as its libation you will offer it, an offering made by fire, a fragrance of appeasement for Yahweh.
9 " 'On the day of the Sabbath, two male lambs without defect {in their first year}, and two-tenths of finely milled flour mixed with oil [for] a grain offering and its libation.
10 [This is] the burnt offering every Sabbath [in addition to] the continual burnt offering and its libation.
11 " 'And at the beginning of each of your months, you will present a burnt offering for Yahweh: two bulls and one ram, seven male lambs without defect {in their first year};
12 and three-tenths of finely milled flour mixed with oil [for] a grain offering, for each bull; and two-tenths of finely milled flour mixed with oil [for] a grain offering for the one ram;
13 and a tenth of finely milled flour mixed with oil [as] a grain offering for each male lamb, for a burnt offering of a fragrance of appeasement, an offering of fire for Yahweh.
14 Their libations will be half a liquid measure of wine for the bull and a third of a liquid measure of wine for the ram and a fourth of a liquid measure of wine for the male lamb; this [is] the burnt offering for every month for the months of the year.
15 And one male goat as a sin offering for Yahweh; it will be offered in addition to the continual burnt offering and its libation.
16 " 'On the fourteenth day of the first month [is] the Passover for Yahweh.
17 On the fifteenth day of this month [is] a religious feast, unleavened bread must be eaten for seven days.
18 On the first day [there will be] a holy convocation; {you will not do any regular work}.
19 You will present an offering by fire, a burnt offering for Yahweh: two bulls and one ram and seven male lambs {in their first year}; they will be for you without defect.
20 For their grain offering, you will offer finely milled flour mixed with oil: three-tenths for the bull and two-tenths for the ram.
21 You will offer a tenth for each of the seven male lambs;
22 and a goat for one sin offering to make atonement for you.
23 You will offer these besides the burnt offering of the morning, which [is] for the continual burnt offering.
24 Like this you will offer daily, for seven days, [the] food of the offering made by fire, a fragrance of appeasement for Yahweh; it will be offered in addition to the continual burnt offering and its libation.
25 On the seventh day you will have a holy convocation; {you will not do any regular work}.

Offerings for the Festival of Weeks

26 " 'And on the day of firstfruits, when you are presenting a new offering for Yahweh during your Festival of Weeks, you will have a holy convocation; {you will not do any regular work}.
27 You will present a burnt offering for a fragrance of appeasement for Yahweh: two bulls, one ram, seven male lambs {in their first year};
28 and their grain offering will be finely milled flour mixed with oil: three-tenths for each bull, two-tenths for one ram,
29 a tenth for each of the male lambs;
30 and one male goat to make atonement for you.
31 In addition to the continual burnt offering and its grain offering, you will offer [them] without defect with their libation.
