Numbers 28

1 The Lord said to Moses,

2 "Give this command to the Israelites. Tell them: 'Bring me food offerings made by fire, for a smell that is pleasing to me, and be sure to bring them at the right time.'

3 Say to them, 'These are the offerings you must bring to the Lord: two male lambs, a year old, as a burnt offering each day. They must have nothing wrong with them.

4 Offer one lamb in the morning and the other lamb at twilight.

5 Also bring a grain offering of two quarts of fine flour, mixed with one quart of oil from pressed olives.

6 This is the daily burnt offering which began at Mount Sinai; its smell is pleasing to the Lord.

7 Offer one quart of wine with each lamb as a drink offering; pour it out to the Lord at the Holy Place.

8 Offer the second lamb at twilight. As in the morning, also give a grain offering and a drink offering. This offering is made by fire, and its smell is pleasing to the Lord.

9 "'On the Sabbath day you must give two male lambs, a year old, that have nothing wrong with them. Also give a drink offering and a grain offering; the grain offering must be four quarts of fine flour mixed with olive oil.

10 This is the burnt offering for every Sabbath, in addition to the daily burnt offering and drink offering.

11 "'On the first day of each month bring a burnt offering to the Lord. This will be two young bulls, one male sheep, and seven male lambs a year old, and they must have nothing wrong with them.

12 Give a grain offering with each bull of six quarts of fine flour mixed with olive oil. Also give a grain offering with the male sheep. It must be four quarts of fine flour mixed with olive oil.

13 And give a grain offering with each lamb of two quarts of fine flour mixed with olive oil. This is a burnt offering, and its smell is pleasing to the Lord.

14 The drink offering with each bull will be two quarts of wine, with the male sheep it will be one and one-third quarts, and with each lamb it will be one quart of wine. This is the burnt offering that must be offered each month of the year.

15 Besides the daily burnt offerings and drink offerings, bring a sin offering of one goat to the Lord.

16 "'The Lord's Passover will be on the fourteenth day of the first month.

17 The Feast of Unleavened Bread begins on the fifteenth day of that month. For seven days, you may eat only bread made without yeast.

18 Have a holy meeting on the first day of the festival, and don't work that day.

19 Bring to the Lord an offering made by fire, a burnt offering of two young bulls, one male sheep, and seven male lambs a year old. They must have nothing wrong with them.

20 With each bull give a grain offering of six quarts of fine flour mixed with olive oil. With the male sheep it must be four quarts of fine flour mixed with oil.

21 With each of the seven lambs, it must be two quarts of fine flour mixed with oil.

22 Bring one goat as a sin offering, to remove your sins so you will belong to God.

23 Bring these offerings in addition to the burnt offerings you give every morning.

24 So bring food for the offering made by fire each day for seven days, for a smell that is pleasing to the Lord. Do it in addition to the daily burnt offering and its drink offering.

25 On the seventh day have a holy meeting, and don't work that day.

26 "'On the day of firstfruits when you bring new grain to the Lord during the Feast of Weeks, have a holy meeting. Don't work that day.

27 Bring this burnt offering to the Lord: two young bulls, one male sheep, and seven male lambs a year old. This smell is pleasing to the Lord.

28 Also, with each bull give a grain offering of six quarts of fine flour mixed with oil. With the male sheep, it must be four quarts of flour,

29 and with each of the seven lambs offer two quarts of flour.

30 Offer one male goat to remove your sins so you will belong to God.

31 Bring these offerings and their drink offerings in addition to the daily burnt offering and its grain offering. The animals must have nothing wrong with them.

40 Moses told the Israelites everything the Lord had commanded him.

Numbers 30

1 Moses spoke with the leaders of the Israelite tribes. He told them these commands from the Lord.

2 "If a man makes a promise to the Lord or says he will do something special, he must keep his promise. He must do what he said.

3 If a young woman still living at home makes a promise to the Lord or pledges to do something special,

4 and if her father hears about the promise or pledge and says nothing, she must do what she promised. She must keep her pledge.

5 But if her father hears about the promise or pledge and does not allow it, then the promise or pledge does not have to be kept. Her father would not allow it, so the Lord will free her from her promise.

6 "If a woman makes a pledge or a careless promise and then gets married,

7 and if her husband hears about it and says nothing, she must keep her promise or the pledge she made.

8 But if her husband hears about it and does not allow it, he cancels her pledge or the careless promise she made. The Lord will free her from keeping it.

9 "If a widow or divorced woman makes a promise, she must do whatever she promised.

10 "If a woman makes a promise or pledge while she is married,

11 and if her husband hears about it but says nothing and does not stop her, she must keep her promise or pledge.

12 But if her husband hears about it and cancels it, she does not have to do what she said. Her husband has canceled it, so the Lord will free her from it.

13 A woman's husband may make her keep or cancel any promise or pledge she has made.

14 If he says nothing to her about it for several days, she must keep her promises. If he hears about them and says nothing, she must keep her promises.

15 But if he cancels them long after he heard about them, he is responsible if she breaks her promise."

16 These are commands that the Lord gave to Moses for husbands and wives, and for fathers with daughters living at home.
