Numbers 28

1 YHWH spoke to Moses, saying,

Yahweh said this to Moses/me:

2 "Command the children of Israel, and tell them, 'My offering, my food for my offerings made by fire, of a pleasant aroma to me, you shall observe to offer to me in their due season.'

“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 You shall tell them, 'This is the offering made by fire which you shall offer to YHWH: male lambs a year old without blemish, two day by day, 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 shall offer the one lamb in the morning, and you shall offer the other lamb at evening;

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

5 with the tenth part of an ephah of fine flour for a meal offering, mixed with the fourth part of a 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 ordained in Mount Sinai for a pleasant aroma, an offering made by fire 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 Its drink offering shall be the fourth part of a hin for the one lamb. You shall 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 The other lamb you shall offer at evening: as the meal offering of the morning, and as the drink offering of it, you shall offer it, an offering made by fire, of a pleasant aroma 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 "'On the Sabbath day two male lambs a year old without blemish, and two tenth parts of an ephah of fine flour for a meal offering, mixed with oil, and the drink offering of it:

“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 this is the burnt offering of every Sabbath, besides the continual burnt offering, and the drink offering of it.

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 "'In the beginnings of your months you shall offer a burnt offering to YHWH: two young bulls, and one ram, seven male lambs a year old without blemish;

“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 an ephah of fine flour for a meal offering, mixed with oil, for each bull; and two tenth parts of fine flour for a meal offering, mixed with oil, for the 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 part of fine flour mixed with oil for a meal offering to every lamb; for a burnt offering of a pleasant aroma, an offering made by fire 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 Their drink offerings shall be half a hin of wine for a bull, and the third part of a hin for the ram, and the fourth part of a hin for a lamb: this is the burnt offering of every month throughout 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 One male goat for a sin offering to YHWH; it shall be offered besides the continual burnt offering, and the drink offering of it.

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 "'In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month, is YHWH's Passover.

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

17 On the fifteenth day of this month shall be a feast: seven days shall unleavened bread be 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 shall be a holy convocation: you shall 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 but you shall offer an offering made by fire, a burnt offering to YHWH: two young bulls, and one ram, and seven male lambs a year old; they shall be to you without blemish;

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 meal offering, fine flour mixed with oil: you shall offer three tenth parts for a bull, and two tenth parts for the 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 shall offer a tenth part for every lamb of 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 male 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 You shall offer these besides the burnt offering of the morning, which is for a continual burnt offering.

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

24 In this way you shall offer daily, for seven days, the food of the offering made by fire, of a pleasant aroma to YHWH: it shall be offered besides the continual burnt offering, and the drink offering of it.

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 On the seventh day you shall have a holy convocation: you shall 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 "'Also in the day of the first fruits, when you offer a new meal offering to YHWH in your feast of weeks, you shall have a holy convocation; you shall 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 but you shall offer a burnt offering for a pleasant aroma to YHWH: two young bulls, one ram, seven male lambs a year old;

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 meal offering, fine flour mixed with oil, three tenth parts for each bull, two tenth parts for the 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 part for every lamb of the seven lambs;

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

30 one male goat, to make atonement for you.

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

31 Besides the continual burnt offering, and the meal offering of it, you shall offer them (they shall be to you without blemish), and their drink offerings.

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.”
