Numbers 28
1 And Yahweh spake unto Moses, saying:
Yahweh said this to Moses/me:
2 Command the sons of Israel, and thou shalt say unto them, —My offering, my food for my altar-flames my satisfying odour, shall ye take heed to offer unto me in its 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 Therefore shalt thou say to them. This, is the altar-flame, which ye shall offer unto Yahweh, —he-lambs a year old, without defect, two daily, as a continual ascending-sacrifice.
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 The one lamb, shalt thou offer in the morning, —and the other lamb, shalt thou offer between the two evenings;
They should bring one in the morning and the other early in the evening.
5 also the tenth of an ephah of fine meal for a meal-offering, —overflowed with beaten oil the fourth of a hin:
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 a continual ascending-sacrifice, —which was offered in Mount Sinai, as a satisfying odour an altar-flame unto Yahweh.
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 Also the drink-offering thereof the fourth of a hin for each lamb, —in a holy place, shall it be poured out as a libation of strong drink unto Yahweh.
When they burn each lamb, they must also pour on the sacred altar one quart/liter of wine.
8 And, the other lamb, shalt thou offer between the two evenings; like the meal-offering of the morning, and like the drink-offering thereof, shalt thou offer, an altar flame a satisfying odour unto Yahweh.
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 But, on the sabbath day, two he-lambs a year old without defect, and two-tenths of fine meal as a meal-offering, overflowed with oil and the drink-offering thereof:
“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 ascending-sacrifice of a sabbath, on its own sabbath, —besides the continual ascending-sacrifice and the drink-offering thereof.
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, shall ye bring near an ascending-sacrifice unto Yahweh, two choice bullocks and one ram, seven he-lambs a year old without defect;
“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-tenths of fine meal, as a meal-offering, overflowed with oil, to each bullock, —and two-tenths of fine-meal as a meal-offering, overflowed with oil, to each 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, severally, of fine meal as a meal-offering, overflowed with oil, to each lamb, —an ascending-sacrifice, a satisfying odour, an altar-flame unto Yahweh.
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 as their drink-offerings, half a hin, shall be to a bullock and the third of a hin to a ram, and the fourth of a hin to a lamb, of wine, —This, is the ascending-sacrifice of a month in its 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 Also one he-goat as a sin-bearer unto Yahweh, —besides the continual ascending-sacrifice, shall it be offered, with the drink-offering thereof.
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, on the first month on the fourteenth day of the month, shall be a passover unto Yahweh;
“The Passover Festival must be celebrated to [honor] me [each year] on the fourteenth day of the first month [of each year].
17 and, on the fifteenth day of this month, a festival, —seven days, unleavened cakes, shall 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 On the first day, a holy convocation, —no laborious work, shall ye do;
On the first day of that festival, you must gather together to worship me, and you must not do any work.
19 but ye shall bring near—as an altar-flame—an ascending-sacrifice unto Yahweh, —two choice bullocks and one ram, —and seven he-lambs a year old, without defect, must they be 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, for their meal-offering, fine meal, overflowed with oil, —three-tenths for a bullock, and two-tenths for a ram, shall ye offer;
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 a tenth, severally, shalt thou offer for each 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 also one he-goat for bearing sin, to put a propitiatory-covering over you:
Also bring one goat for a sacrifice to cause you to be forgiven for your sin.
23 in addition to the ascending-sacrifice of the morning, which is for the continual ascending-sacrifice, shall ye offer these.
Bring these offerings in addition to the offerings that you bring each morning.
24 Like these, shall ye offer, daily, for seven days, as the food of the altar-flame of a satisfying odour, unto Yahweh, —besides the continual ascending-sacrifice, shall it be offered, with the drink-offering thereof.
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, shall ye have, a holy convocation, —no laborious work, shall ye do.
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 firstfruits when ye bring near a new meal-offering unto Yahweh, in your weeks, a holy convocation shall there be unto you, no laborious work, shall ye do;
“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 ye shall bring near as an ascending-sacrifice, for a satisfying odour unto Yahweh, two choice bullocks one ram, —seven he-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 also their meal-offering, fine meal, overflowed with oil, —three-tenths for each bullock, two-tenths 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 severally, for each lamb, —of the seven lambs;
and with each of the lambs bring two quarts/liters.
30 one young he-goat, —for putting a propitiatory-covering over you:
Also sacrifice one male goat to cause you to be forgiven for your sins.
31 in addition to, the continual ascending-sacrifice, with the meal-offering thereof, shall ye offer them, —without defect, shall they be for you, with 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.”
