Laws for Offerings

¹ Then the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,² "Command the Israelites and say to them, 'You shall be careful to present at its appointed time during the year My offering, My ^(C1)food for My offerings by fire as a sweet and soothing aroma to Me.'³ "^(C1)You shall say to the people, 'This is the offering by fire which you shall present to the LORD every day: two male lambs one year old without blemish as a continual burnt offering.⁴ 'You shall offer one lamb in the morning and you shall offer the other lamb at twilight,⁵ also ^(C1)a tenth of an ephah of finely-milled flour as a ^(C2)grain offering, mixed with a fourth of a hin of pressed oil.⁶ 'It is a continual burnt offering which was ordained on Mount Sinai as a sweet and soothing aroma, an offering by fire to the LORD.⁷ 'Its drink offering shall be a fourth of a hin for each lamb, ^(C1)in the holy place you shall pour out a strong drink offering to the LORD.⁸ 'The other lamb you shall offer at twilight; as the grain offering of the morning and as its drink offering, you shall offer it, an offering by fire, a sweet and soothing aroma to the LORD.

⁹ 'Then on the Sabbath day two male lambs one year old without blemish, and two-tenths of an ephah of fine flour mixed with oil as a grain offering, and its drink offering.¹⁰ 'This is the burnt offering of every Sabbath, in addition to the ^(C1)continual burnt offering and its drink offering.

¹¹ 'Then ^(C1)at the beginning of each of your months you shall present a burnt offering to the LORD: two bulls, one ram, seven male lambs one year old without blemish;^12 (C1)and three-tenths of an ephah of fine flour mixed with oil as a grain offering, for each bull; and two-tenths of an ephah of fine flour mixed with oil as a grain offering, for the one ram;¹³ and a tenth of an ephah of fine flour mixed with oil as a grain offering for each lamb, as a burnt offering of a sweet and soothing aroma, an offering by fire to the LORD.¹⁴ 'Their drink offerings shall be half a hin of wine for a bull, and a third of a hin for a ram, and a fourth of a hin for a lamb. This is the burnt offering of each month throughout the months of the year.¹⁵ 'And one male goat as a sin offering to the LORD; it shall be offered with its drink offering in addition to the ^(C1)continual burnt offering.

¹⁶ 'The LORD'S Passover shall be ^(C1)on the fourteenth day of the first month of each year.¹⁷ 'There shall be a ^(C1)feast ^(C2)on the fifteenth day of this month; unleavened bread shall be eaten for seven days.¹⁸ 'On the ^(C1)first day there shall be a holy summoned assembly; you shall do no laborious work that day.¹⁹ 'But you shall present an offering by fire, a burnt offering to the LORD: two bulls, one ram, and seven male lambs one year old, ^(C1)without blemish.²⁰ 'For their grain offering you shall offer fine flour mixed with oil; three-tenths of an ephah for the bull, and two-tenths for the ram;²¹ you shall offer a tenth of an ephah for each of the seven male lambs;²² and one male goat as a ^(C1)sin offering to make atonement for you.²³ 'You shall present these in addition to ^(C1)the burnt offering of the morning, which is for a continual burnt offering.²⁴ 'In this way you shall present daily, for seven days, ^(C1)the food of the offering by fire, a sweet and soothing aroma to the LORD; it shall be presented with its drink offering in addition to the ^(C2)continual burnt offering.²⁵ 'On the seventh day you shall have a holy summoned assembly; ^(C1)you shall do no laborious work.

²⁶ 'Also on ^(C1)the day of the first fruits, when you offer a new grain offering to the LORD at your Feast of Weeks, you shall have a holy summoned assembly; ^(C2)you shall do no laborious work.²⁷ 'You shall present the burnt offering as a sweet and soothing aroma to the LORD: two young bulls, one ram, seven male lambs one year old;²⁸ and their grain offering of fine flour mixed with oil; three-tenths of an ephah for each bull, two-tenths for the one ram,²⁹ a tenth for each of the seven male lambs,³⁰ and one male goat to make atonement for you.³¹ '^(C1)In addition to the continual burnt offering and its grain offering, you shall present them with their drink offerings. They shall be without blemish.
