< Numbers 28 >

1 Yahweh said this to Moses/me:
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
2 “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.
Charge the children of Israel, and you shall speak to them, saying, You shall observe to offer to me in my feasts my gifts, my presents, my burnt offerings for a sweet smelling savor.
3 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].
And you shall say to them, These are the burnt offerings, all that you shall bring to the Lord; two lambs of a year old without blemish daily, for a whole burnt offering perpetually.
4 They should bring one in the morning and the other early in the evening.
You shall offer one lamb in the morning, and you shall offer the second lamb towards evening.
5 They must also bring an offering of grain, consisting of two quarts/liters of finely-ground flour, mixed with a quart of [olive] oil.
And you shall offer the tenth part of an ephah of fine flour for a meat-offering, mingled with oil, with the fourth part of a hin.
6 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.
[It is] a perpetual whole burnt offering, a sacrifice offered in the mount of Sina for a sweet smelling savor to the Lord.
7 When they burn each lamb, they must also pour on the sacred altar one quart/liter of wine.
And its drink-offering, the fourth part of a hin to each lamb; in the holy place shall you pour strong drink as a drink-offering to the Lord.
8 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.”
And the second lamb you shall offer toward evening; you shall offer it according to its meat-offering and according to its drink-offering for a smell of sweet savor to the Lord.
9 “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.
And on the sabbath-day you shall offer two lambs of a year old without blemish, and two tenth deals of fine flour mingled with oil for a meat-offering, and a drink-offering.
10 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.”
[It is] a whole burnt offering of the sabbaths on the sabbath days, besides the continued whole burnt offering, and its drink offering.
11 “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].
And at the new moons you shall bring a whole burnt offering to the Lord, two calves of the herd, and one ram, seven lambs of a year old without blemish.
12 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.
Three tenth deals of fine flour mingled with oil for one calf, and two tenth deals of fine flour mingled with oil for one ram.
13 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.
A tenth deal of fine flour mingled with oil for each lamb, as a meat-offering, a sweet smelling savor, a burnt offering to the Lord.
14 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].
Their drink-offering shall be the half of a hin for one calf; and the third of a hin for one ram; and the fourth part of a hin of wine for one lamb: this [is] the whole burnt offering monthly throughout the months of the year.
15 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].”
And [he shall offer] one kid of the goats for a sin-offering to the Lord; it shall be offered beside the continual whole burnt offering and its drink-offering.
16 “The Passover Festival must be celebrated to [honor] me [each year] on the fourteenth day of the first month [of each year].
And in the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month, [is] the passover to the Lord.
17 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.
And on the fifteenth day of this month [is] a feast; seven days you shall eat unleavened bread.
18 On the first day of that festival, you must gather together to worship me, and you must not do any work.
And the first day shall be to you a holy convocation; you shall do no servile work.
19 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.
And you shall bring whole burnt offerings, a sacrifice to the Lord, two calves of the herd, one ram, seven lambs of a year old; they shall be to you without blemish.
20 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.
And their meat-offering shall be fine flour mingled with oil; three tenth deals for one calf, and two tenth deals for one ram.
21 With each of the seven lambs, bring an offering of two quarts/liters of finely-ground flour mixed with [olive] oil.
You shall offer a tenth for each lamb, for the seven lambs.
22 Also bring one goat for a sacrifice to cause you to be forgiven for your sin.
And [you shall offer] one kid of the goats for a sin-offering, to make atonement for you.
23 Bring these offerings in addition to the offerings that you bring each morning.
Beside the perpetual whole burnt offering in the morning, which is a whole burnt sacrifice for a continuance,
24 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].
these shall you thus offer daily for seven days, a gift, a sacrifice for a sweet smelling savor to the Lord; beside the continual whole burnt offering, you shall offer its drink-offering.
25 On the seventh day of that festival, you must [again] gather together to worship me, and you must not do any work.”
And the seventh day shall be to you a holy convocation; you shall do no servile work in it.
26 “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.
And on the day of the new corn, when you shall offer a new sacrifice [at the festival] of weeks to the Lord, there shall be to you a holy convocation; you shall do no servile work,
27 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.
and you shall bring whole burnt offerings for a sweet smelling savor to the Lord, two calves of the herd, one ram, seven lambs without blemish.
28 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,
Their meat-offering [shall be] fine flour mingled with oil; there shall be three tenth deals for one calf, and two tenth deals for one ram.
29 and with each of the lambs bring two quarts/liters.
A tenth for each lamb separately, for the seven lambs; and a kid of the goats,
30 Also sacrifice one male goat to cause you to be forgiven for your sins.
for a sin-offering, to make atonement for you; beside the perpetual whole burnt offering: and
31 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.”
you shall offer to me their meat-offering. They shall be to you unblemished, and you shall offer their drink-offerings.
