Numbers 28

1 The LORD said to Moses,

2 "Give this command to the Israelites: Be sure to bring me my offerings at the right times. They are my food. They are offerings by fire, a soothing aroma.

3 These are the offerings by fire that you must bring to the LORD. Every day you must bring as a daily burnt offering two one-year-old lambs that have no defects.

4 Offer one in the morning and the other at dusk.

5 [With each of them] also bring a grain offering of eight cups of flour mixed with one quart of virgin olive oil.

6 This is the daily burnt offering which was established on Mount Sinai. This offering is a soothing aroma, an offering by fire to the LORD.

7 Also bring a wine offering of one quart of wine for each lamb. Pour it out to the LORD in a holy place.

8 Offer the other lamb at dusk along with the same grain offering and wine offering as you brought in the morning. This is an offering by fire, a soothing aroma to the LORD.

9 "On the day of worship offer two one-year-old lambs that have no defects, a grain offering of 16 cups of flour mixed with olive oil, and the wine offering that goes with it.

10 This burnt offering is for every day of worship in addition to the daily burnt offerings and the wine offerings that go with them.

11 "On the first of every month bring the LORD a burnt offering of two young bulls, one ram, and seven one-year-old lambs that have no defects.

12 With each bull there will be a grain offering of 24 cups of flour mixed with olive oil, with each ram a grain offering of 16 cups of flour mixed with olive oil,

13 and with each one-year-old lamb a grain offering of 8 cups of flour mixed with olive oil. This is a burnt offering, a soothing aroma, an offering by fire to the LORD.

14 The wine offering that goes with each bull will be 2 quarts of wine, with each ram 1½ quarts of wine, and with each lamb 1 quart of wine. This will be the monthly burnt offering for every month of the year.

15 In addition to the daily burnt offering with its wine offering, one male goat must be offered to the LORD as an offering for sin.

16 "The fourteenth day of the first month is the LORD's Passover.

17 The fifteenth of this same month is a pilgrimage festival. For seven days you must eat only unleavened bread.

18 On the first day there will be a holy assembly. Don't do any regular work.

19 Instead, bring the LORD an offering by fire, a burnt offering of two young bulls, one ram, and seven one-year-old lambs, all of them without defects.

20 Along with them bring grain offerings of flour mixed with olive oil. Bring 24 cups for each bull, 16 cups for each ram,

21 and 8 cups for each of the seven lambs.

22 Also bring one male goat as an offering for sin to make peace with the LORD.

23 Offer these in addition to the morning burnt offering.

24 Bring all these offerings on each of the seven days. They are food. They are offerings by fire, a soothing aroma to the LORD. They will be offered in addition to the daily burnt offering and the wine offering that goes with it.

25 On the seventh day you must have a holy assembly. You must not do any regular work.

26 "During the Festival of Weeks, you must have a holy assembly. On that day you must not do any regular work. Bring the LORD your new grain offering, the first produce harvested from your fields.

27 Bring a burnt offering as a soothing aroma to the LORD--two young bulls, one ram, and seven one-year-old lambs.

28 Along with them bring grain offerings of flour mixed with olive oil. Bring 24 cups for each bull, 16 cups for each ram,

29 and 8 cups for each of the seven lambs.

30 Also bring one male goat to make peace with the LORD.

31 Offer these animals that have no defects along with their wine offerings, in addition to the daily burnt offerings and their grain offerings."

Numbers 29

2 As a burnt offering, a soothing aroma to the LORD, bring one young bull, one ram, and seven one-year-old lambs that have no defects.

3 Along with them bring grain offerings of flour mixed with olive oil. Bring 24 cups for each bull, 16 cups for each ram,

39 "These are the offerings you must bring to the LORD at your festivals. They are the offerings you must bring in addition to the offerings for anything you vowed to give to the LORD, your freewill offerings, your burnt offerings, your grain offerings, your wine offerings, and your fellowship offerings."

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

Numbers 30

1 Moses said to the heads of the tribes of Israel, "This is what the LORD has commanded [about vows]:

2 If a man makes a vow to the LORD that he will do something or swears an oath that he won't do something, he must not break his word. He must do everything he said he would do.

3 "A young girl, who still lives in her father's house, might make a vow to the LORD that she will do something or swear an oath that she won't do something.

4 If her father says nothing to her when he hears about it, her vow or oath must be kept.

5 But if her father objects when he hears about it, her vow or oath doesn't have to be kept. The LORD will free her [from this vow or oath] because her father objected.

6 "An unmarried woman might make a vow that she will do something or carelessly promise that she won't do something. When she marries,

7 her husband may hear about it but say nothing to her. Then her vow or oath must be kept.

8 But if her husband objects when he hears about it, he can cancel the vow or promise she made. The LORD will free her [from this vow or promise].

9 "But a widow or a divorced woman must keep her vow or her promise.

10 "A married woman might make a vow that she will do something or swear an oath that she won't do something.

11 Her husband may hear about it but may say nothing and not object. Then her vow or oath must be kept.

12 But if her husband cancels it when he hears about it, nothing she said in her vow or oath has to be kept. Her husband has canceled it, and the LORD will free her [from this vow or oath].

13 "A husband decides whether or not his wife has to keep any vow to do something or any oath to do without something.

14 If he says nothing to her about it day after day, this means he's decided that she must keep her vow or oath. She must keep it because he said nothing to her when he heard about it.

15 But if he cancels it later, he will suffer the consequences."

16 These are the laws the LORD gave Moses for husbands and wives, and for fathers with young daughters still living at home.
