Numbers 28

1 And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying,

Yahweh said this to Moses/me:

2 “Command the sons of Israel, and you have said to them: My offering, My bread for My fire-offerings, My refreshing fragrance, you take heed to bring near to Me in its appointed time.

“Tell this to the Israeli people: Bring to me the offerings that will be burned [on the altar]. When they are burned, the smell will be very pleasing to me. And tell them that they must bring them at the proper/right time.

3 And you have said to them: This [is] the fire-offering which you bring near to YHWH: two lambs, sons of a year, perfect ones, daily, [for] a continual burnt-offering;

Tell them that what they must bring to me each day are two male lambs that are one-year-old. They must have no defects. They must be completely burned [on the altar].

4 you prepare the first lamb in the morning, and you prepare the second lamb between the evenings;

They should bring one in the morning and the other early in the evening.

5 and a tenth of the ephah of flour for a present mixed with a fourth of the hin of beaten oil;

They must also bring an offering of grain, consisting of two quarts/liters of finely-ground flour, mixed with a quart of [olive] oil.

6 [it is] a continual burnt-offering, which was made in Mount Sinai for refreshing fragrance, [for] a fire-offering to YHWH.

That is the offering that they must bring every day. They started to bring those offerings [while you were] at Sinai Mountain. When those offerings are burned [on the altar], the smell will be very pleasing to me.

7 And its drink-offering [is] a fourth of the hin for one lamb; pour out a drink-offering of strong drink to YHWH in the holy place.

When they burn each lamb, they must also pour on the sacred altar one quart/liter of wine.

8 And you prepare the second lamb between the evenings; as the present of the morning and as its drink-offering, you prepare [it as] a fire-offering of refreshing fragrance to YHWH.

In the evening, when they offer the second lamb, they must also bring the same offerings of grain and wine [as they burned in the morning]. When they are burned, the smell will also be very pleasing to me.”

9 And on the Sabbath day, two lambs, sons of a year, perfect ones, and two-tenth parts of flour, a present mixed with oil, and its drink-offering—

“On each (Sabbath/rest day), [you must bring] two male lambs that have no defects. Also bring a grain offering of four quarts/liters of finely-ground flour mixed with [olive] oil and a wine offering of four quarts/liters of wine.

10 the burnt-offering of the Sabbath in its Sabbath, besides the continual burnt-offering and its drink-offering.

Those are the offerings that are to be burned [on the altar] each (Sabbath/rest day). Those are in addition to the offerings of two lambs and wine that you must bring each day.”

11 And in the beginnings of your months you bring a burnt-offering near to YHWH: two bullocks, sons of the herd, and one ram, seven lambs, sons of a year, perfect ones;

“On the first day of each month, you must bring to me an offering of two young bulls, one male sheep, and seven male lambs that are one-year-old. All of these must be without defects. They must all be burned [completely on the altar].

12 and three-tenth parts of flour, a present mixed with oil, for one bullock, and two-tenth parts of flour, a present mixed with oil, for one ram;

Also bring with each bull an offering of six quarts/liters of finely-ground flour mixed with [olive] oil. With each male sheep make an offering of four quarts of finely-ground flour mixed with [olive] oil.

13 and a tenth—a tenth part of flour, a present mixed with oil, for one lamb, [for] a burnt-offering, a refreshing fragrance, a fire-offering to YHWH;

Also bring an offering of two quarts/liters of finely-ground flour mixed with [olive] oil with each lamb. When all of these are burned [on the altar], the smell will be very pleasing to me.

14 and their drink-offerings are a half of the hin for a bullock, and a third of the hin for a ram, and a fourth of the hin for a lamb, of wine; this [is] the burnt-offering of every month for the months of the year.

With each bull, also bring two quarts/liters of wine. With each male sheep, bring (1-1/3 quarts/1.2 liters) of wine. With each lamb, bring one quart/liter of wine. These offerings must be brought on the first day of each month and burned completely [on the altar].

15 And one kid of the goats is prepared for a sin-offering to YHWH, besides the continual burnt-offering and its drink-offering.

In addition to these offerings that you burn, you must bring to me one goat for an offering [to enable me to forgive you for the sins you have committed].”

16 And in the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month, [is] the Passover to YHWH;

“The Passover Festival must be celebrated to [honor] me [each year] on the fourteenth day of the first month [of each year].

17 and in the fifteenth day of this month [is] a festival; [for] seven days unleavened bread is eaten.

The Festival of Unleavened Bread will start on the next day. For the following seven days, the bread that you eat must be made without yeast.

18 In the first day [is] a holy convocation; you do no servile work;

On the first day of that festival, you must gather together to worship me, and you must not do any work.

19 and you have brought a fire-offering near, a burnt-offering to YHWH: two bullocks, sons of the herd, and one ram, and seven lambs, sons of a year, they are perfect ones for you;

On that day, you must bring to me for an offering that will be completely burned [on the altar] two young bulls, one male sheep, and seven male lambs that are one-year-old. They must all have no defects.

20 and their present of flour mixed with oil—you prepare three-tenth parts for a bullock and two-tenth parts for a ram;

With each of these bulls, bring a grain offering of grain, consisting of six quarts/liters of finely-ground flour mixed with [olive] oil. With the male sheep, bring an offering of grain consisting of four quarts/liters of finely-ground flour mixed with [olive] oil.

21 you prepare a tenth—a tenth part for one lamb, for the seven lambs,

With each of the seven lambs, bring an offering of two quarts/liters of finely-ground flour mixed with [olive] oil.

22 and one goat [for] a sin-offering, to make atonement for you.

Also bring one goat for a sacrifice to cause you to be forgiven for your sin.

23 Apart from the burnt-offering of the morning, which [is] for the continual burnt-offering, you prepare these;

Bring these offerings in addition to the offerings that you bring each morning.

24 like these you prepare bread of a fire-offering daily [for] seven days, a refreshing fragrance to YHWH; it is prepared besides the continual burnt-offering and its drink-offering.

The smell of the grain that is burned [on the altar] each day for seven days will be very pleasing to me. Bring the grain in addition to the animals and the wine that you burn [on the altar].

25 And on the seventh day you have a holy convocation; you do no servile work.

On the seventh day of that festival, you must [again] gather together to worship me, and you must not do any work.”

26 And on the day of the first-fruits, in your bringing a new present near to YHWH, in your weeks, you have a holy convocation; you do no servile work.

“On the day of the Harvest Festival, when you bring to me the first grain that you have harvested, you must gather together to worship me. Do not do any work on that day.

27 And you have brought a burnt-offering near for refreshing fragrance to YHWH: two bullocks, sons of the herd, one ram, seven lambs, sons of a year,

Bring to me two young bulls, one male sheep, and seven male lambs that are one-year-old. When they are completely burned [on the altar], the smell will be very pleasing to me.

28 and their present, flour mixed with oil, three-tenth parts for one bullock, two-tenth parts for one ram,

Also bring a grain offering of nice flour mixed with [olive] oil. For each bull, bring six quarts/liters, and with each male sheep, bring four quarts/liters,

29 a tenth—a tenth part for one lamb, for the seven lambs;

and with each of the lambs bring two quarts/liters.

30 one kid of the goats to make atonement for you;

Also sacrifice one male goat to cause you to be forgiven for your sins.

31 apart from the continual burnt-offering and its present, you prepare [them] and their drink-offerings; they are perfect ones for you.”

Bring these offerings and the offering of wine in addition to the animals and grain that you burn [on the altar] each day. [And remember that] the animals that you sacrifice must have no defects.”
