Daily Gifts on the Altar

¹ The Lord said to Moses, ² "Tell the people of Israel, ‘Be careful to bring My gift, My food for My gifts by fire, as a pleasing smell to me, at the right time.' ³ And say to them, ‘This is the gift by fire which you must give to the Lord. Give two perfect male lambs one year old, as a burnt gift every day. ⁴ Give one lamb in the morning, and the other lamb in the evening. ⁵ And give a tenth part of a basket of fine flour for a grain gift, mixed with a fourth part of a jar of beaten oil. ⁶ It is a burnt gift which was set apart at Mount Sinai as a pleasing smell, a gift by fire always to the Lord. ⁷ Its drink gift will be a fourth part of a jar for each lamb. Pour out a drink gift of strong drink to the Lord in the holy place. ⁸ Give the other lamb in the evening. Like the grain gift of the morning, and like its drink gift, you will give it as a gift by fire. It is a pleasing smell to the Lord.

Day of Rest Gifts

⁹ ‘On the Day of Rest give a gift of two perfect male lambs one year old. With it give two-tenths part of a basket of fine flour mixed with oil for a grain gift, and its drink gift. ¹⁰ The burnt gift of every Day of Rest is to be added to the burnt gift which is always given and its drink gift.

Gifts Each Month

¹¹ ‘Then you must give a burnt gift to the Lord at the beginning of your months. Give two bulls, one ram, and seven male lambs one year old that are perfect. ¹² Give three-tenths part of a basket of fine flour mixed with oil for a grain gift for each bull. Give two-tenths part of fine flour mixed with oil for a grain gift for the one ram. ¹³ And give a tenth part of a basket of fine flour mixed with oil for a grain gift for each lamb. They are to be given for a burnt gift of a pleasing smell, a gift by fire to the Lord. ¹⁴ Their drink gifts will be half a jar of wine for a bull, a third of a jar for the ram, and a fourth part of a jar for a lamb. This is the burnt gift of each month for all the months of the year. ¹⁵ And give one male goat for a sin gift to the Lord. It will be given with its drink gift, besides each day's burnt gift.

Gifts at Passover

¹⁶ ‘The fourteenth day of the first month will be the Lord's Passover. ¹⁷ A special supper will be on the fifteenth day of this month. Bread without yeast will be eaten for seven days. ¹⁸ On the first day will be a holy gathering. You must do no hard work. ¹⁹ You will give a gift by fire, a burnt gift to the Lord. It will be two bulls, one ram, and seven perfect male lambs one year old. ²⁰ And give fine flour mixed with oil for their grain gift. Give three-tenths part of a basket for a bull, two-tenths part for a ram, ²¹ and a tenth part of a basket for each of the seven lambs. ²² Then give one male goat for a sin gift, to pay for your sins. ²³ Give these besides the burnt gift of the morning, which is each day's burnt gift. ²⁴ Give the food of the gift by fire in this way each day for seven days, as a pleasing smell to the Lord. Give it with its drink gift, besides each day's burnt gift. ²⁵ And on the seventh day you will have a holy gathering. You must do no hard work.

Gifts at Supper of Weeks

²⁶ ‘You will have a holy gathering on the day of the first-fruits also. This is when you will bring a gift of new grain to the Lord in your Special Supper of Weeks. You must do no hard work. ²⁷ And you will give for a pleasing smell to the Lord a burnt gift of two young bulls, one ram, and seven male lambs one year old. ²⁸ Give fine flour mixed with oil for their grain gift. Give three-tenths part of a basket for each bull, two-tenths part for the one ram, ²⁹ and a tenth part for each of the seven lambs. ³⁰ And give one male goat to pay for your sins. ³¹ These gifts should be besides each day's burnt gift and its grain gift. Give them with their drink gifts. The animals must be perfect.
