1 And the Lord said to Moses,
1
The Lord commanded Moses
2 Give orders to the children of Israel and say to them, Let it be your care to give me my offerings at their regular times, the food of the offerings made by fire to me for a sweet smell.
2
to instruct the Israelites to present to God at the appointed times the required food offerings that are pleasing to him.
3 Say to them, This is the offering made by fire which you are to give to the Lord; he-lambs of the first year without any mark, two every day as a regular burned offering.
3
These are the food offerings that are to be presented to the Lord: for the daily burnt offering, two one-year-old male lambs without any defects.
4 Let one be offered in the morning, and the other at evening;
4
Offer the first lamb in the morning, and the second in the evening,
5 And the tenth part of an ephah of the best meal for a meal offering mixed with the fourth part of a hin of clear oil.
5
each with a grain offering of 2 pounds of flour, mixed with 2 pints of the best olive oil.
6 It is a regular burned offering, as it was ordered in Mount Sinai, for a sweet smell, an offering made by fire to the Lord.
6
This is the daily offering that is completely burned, which was first offered at Mount Sinai as a food offering, an odor pleasing to the Lord.
7 And for its drink offering take the fourth part of a hin for one lamb: in the holy place let the wine be drained out for a drink offering for the Lord.
7
As the wine offering with the first lamb, pour out at the altar 2 pints of wine.
8 Let the other lamb be offered at evening; like the meal offering of the morning and its drink offering, let it be offered as an offering made by fire for a sweet smell to the Lord.
