Bamidbar 28:1-15

1 8 And Hashem spoke unto Moshe, saying,

2 Command the Bnei Yisroel, and say unto them, My korban, and My lechem by My fires, My re’ach hannichoach, shall ye be shomer to offer unto Me in its mo’ed.

3 And thou shalt say unto them, This is the fire-offering which ye shall offer unto Hashem; two kevasim (male lambs) of the first year temimim, two a day, for an olah tamid.

4 The one keves shalt thou offer in the boker, and the other keves shalt thou offer towards erev;

5 And a tenth-ephah of fine flour for a minchah, mixed with the fourth-hin of pressed shemen.

6 It is an olat tamid (continual burnt offering) which was ordained in Mt Sinai for a re’ach hannichoach, a fire-offering unto Hashem.

7 And the nesekh (libation offering) thereof shall be the fourth-hin for the one keves: baKodesh (i.e., the Mizbe’ach) shalt thou cause the nesekh shekhar to be poured out unto Hashem.

8 And the other keves (male lamb) shalt thou offer at erev: like the minchah of the boker, and like the nesekh thereof, thou shalt offer it, a fireoffering of re’ach hannicho’ach unto Hashem.

9 And on Yom HaShabbos two kevasim of the first year temimim (unblemished ones) and two tenths-ephah of fine flour for a minchah, mixed with shemen, and the nesekh thereof;

10 This is the olah (burnt offering) of every Shabbos, in addition to the continual olah, and its nesekh.

11 And at each Rosh-Chodesh of yours, ye shall offer an olah unto Hashem; two young bulls, and one ram, shivah kevasim (male lambs) of the first year temimim (unblemished ones);

12 And three tenths-ephah of fine flour for a minchah, mixed with shemen, for each bull; and two tenths-ephah of fine flour for a minchah, mixed with shemen for the one ram;

13 And a tenth-ephah of fine flour mixed with shemen for a minchah for each keves; for an olah (burnt offering) of a re’ach hannichoach, a fireoffering unto Hashem.

14 And their nesakim shall be a half-hin for each bull, and the third-hin for the ram, and a quarter-hin for each keves: this is the olah (burnt offering) for every Rosh Chodesh throughout the months of the shanah (year).

15 And one young male goat for a chattat unto Hashem shall be offered. It shall be in addition to the continual olah (burnt offering), and its nesekh.
