The Message Bible MSG
1 The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
1
God spoke to Moses:
2 "Command the people of Israel and say to them, 'My offering, my food for my food offerings, my pleasing aroma, you shall be careful to offer to me at its appointed time.'
2
"Command the People of Israel. Tell them, You're in charge of presenting my food, my Fire-Gifts of pleasing fragrance, at the set times.
3 And you shall say to them, This is the food offering that you shall offer to the LORD: two male lambs a year old without blemish, day by day, as a regular offering.
3
Tell them, This is the Fire-Gift that you are to present to God: two healthy yearling lambs each day as a regular Whole-Burnt-Offering.
4 The one lamb you shall offer in the morning, and the other lamb you shall offer at twilight;
4
Sacrifice one lamb in the morning, the other in the evening,
5 also a tenth of an ephah of fine flour for a grain offering, mixed with a quarter of a hin of beaten oil.
5
together with two quarts of fine flour mixed with a quart of olive oil for a Grain-Offering.
6 It is a regular burnt offering, which was ordained at Mount Sinai for a pleasing aroma, a food offering to the LORD.
6
This is the standard Whole-Burnt-Offering instituted at Mount Sinai as a pleasing fragrance, a Fire-Gift to God.
7 Its drink offering shall be a quarter of a hin for each lamb. In the Holy Place you shall pour out a drink offering of strong drink to the LORD.
7
The Drink-Offering that goes with it is a quart of strong beer with each lamb. Pour out the Drink-Offering before God in the Sanctuary.
8 The other lamb you shall offer at twilight. Like the grain offering of the morning, and like its drink offering, you shall offer it as a food offering, with a pleasing aroma to the LORD.
8
Sacrifice the second lamb in the evening with the Grain-Offering and Drink-Offering the same as in the morning - a Fire-Gift of pleasing fragrance for God.
9 "On the Sabbath day, two male lambs a year old without blemish, and two tenths of an ephah of fine flour for a grain offering, mixed with oil, and its drink offering:
9
"On the Sabbath, sacrifice two healthy yearling lambs, together with the Drink-Offering and the Grain-Offering of four quarts of fine flour mixed with oil.
10 this is the burnt offering of every Sabbath, besides the regular burnt offering and its drink offering.
10
This is the regular Sabbath Whole-Burnt-Offering, in addition to the regular Whole-Burnt-Offering and its Drink-Offering.
11 "At the beginnings of your months, you shall offer a burnt offering to the LORD: two bulls from the herd, one ram, seven male lambs a year old without blemish;
11
"On the first of the month offer a Whole-Burnt-Offering to God: two young bulls, one ram, and seven male yearling lambs - all healthy.
12 also three tenths of an ephah of fine flour for a grain offering, mixed with oil, for each bull, and two tenths of fine flour for a grain offering, mixed with oil, for the one ram;
12
"A Grain-Offering of six quarts of fine flour mixed with oil goes with each bull, four quarts of fine flour mixed with oil with the ram,
13 and a tenth of fine flour mixed with oil as a grain offering for every lamb; for a burnt offering with a pleasing aroma, a food offering to the LORD.
13
and two quarts of fine flour mixed with oil with each lamb. This is for a Whole-Burnt-Offering, a pleasing fragrance, a Fire-Gift to God.
14 Their drink offerings shall be half a hin of wine for a bull, a third of a hin for a ram, and a quarter of a hin for a lamb. This is the burnt offering of each month throughout the months of the year.
14
Also, Drink-Offerings of two quarts of wine for each bull, one and a quarter quarts of wine for the ram, and a quart of wine for each lamb are to be poured out.
15 Also one male goat for a sin offering to the LORD; it shall be offered besides the regular burnt offering and its drink offering.
15
In addition to the regular Whole-Burnt-Offering with its accompanying Drink-Offering, a he-goat is to be offered to God as an Absolution-Offering.
16 "On the fourteenth day of the first month is the LORD's Passover,
16
"God's Passover is to be held on the fourteenth day of the first month.
17 and on the fifteenth day of this month is a feast. Seven days shall unleavened bread be eaten.
17
On the fifteenth day of this month hold a festival.
18 On the first day there shall be a holy convocation. You shall not do any ordinary work,
18
Begin the first day in holy worship; don't do any regular work that day.
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; see that they are without blemish;
19
Bring a Fire-Gift to God, a Whole-Burnt-Offering: two young bulls, one ram, and seven male yearling lambs - all healthy.
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;
20
Prepare a Grain-Offering of six quarts of fine flour mixed with oil for each bull, four quarts for the ram,
21 a tenth shall you offer for each of the seven lambs;
21
and two quarts for each lamb,
22 also one male goat for a sin offering, to make atonement for you.
22
plus a goat as an Absolution-Offering to atone for you.
23 You shall offer these besides the burnt offering of the morning, which is for a regular burnt offering.
23
"Sacrifice these in addition to the regular morning Whole-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.
24
Prepare the food this way for the Fire-Gift, a pleasing fragrance to God, every day for seven days. Prepare it in addition to the regular Whole-Burnt-Offering and Drink-Offering.
25 And on the seventh day you shall have a holy convocation. You shall not do any ordinary work.
25
"Conclude the seventh day in holy worship; don't do any regular work on that day.
26 "On the day of the firstfruits, when you offer a grain offering of new grain to the LORD at your Feast of Weeks, you shall have a holy convocation. You shall not do any ordinary work,
26
"On the Day of Firstfruits when you bring an offering of new grain to God on your Feast-of-Weeks, gather in holy worship and don't do any regular work.
27 but offer a burnt offering, with a pleasing aroma to the LORD: two bulls from the herd, one ram, seven male lambs a year old;
27
Bring a Whole-Burnt-Offering of two young bulls, one ram, and seven male yearling lambs as a pleasing fragrance to God.
28 also their grain offering of fine flour mixed with oil, three tenths of an ephah for each bull, two tenths for one ram,
28
Prepare a Grain-Offering of six quarts of fine flour mixed with oil for each bull, four quarts for the ram,
29 a tenth for each of the seven lambs;
29
and two quarts for each lamb,
30 with one male goat, to make atonement for you.
30
plus a he-goat as an Absolution-Offering to atone for you.
31 Besides the regular burnt offering and its grain offering, you shall offer them and their drink offering. See that they are without blemish.
31
"These are all over and above the daily Whole-Burnt-Offering and its Grain-Offering and the Drink-Offering. Remember, the animals must be healthy.
