Numbers 28:1-6

1 The LORD said to Moses,

2 “Give these instructions to the people of Israel: The offerings you present as special gifts are a pleasing aroma to me; they are my food. See to it that they are brought at the appointed times and offered according to my instructions.

3 “Say to the people: This is the special gift you must present to the LORD as your daily burnt offering. You must offer two one-year-old male lambs with no defects.

4 Sacrifice one lamb in the morning and the other in the evening.

5 With each lamb you must offer a grain offering of two quarts of choice flour mixed with one quart of pure oil of pressed olives.

6 This is the regular burnt offering instituted at Mount Sinai as a special gift, a pleasing aroma to the LORD .
