< 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.
Command the children of Israel, and say to them, My offering, [and] my bread for my sacrifices made by fire, [for] a sweet savor to me, shall ye observe to offer to me in their due season.
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 thou shalt say to them, This [is] the offering made by fire which ye shall offer to the LORD; two lambs of the first year without spot day by day, [for] a continual burnt-offering.
4 They should bring one in the morning and the other early in the evening.
The one lamb shalt thou offer in the morning, and the other lamb shalt thou offer at 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 a tenth [part] of an ephah of flour for a meat-offering, mingled with a fourth [part] of a hin of beaten oil.
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 continual burnt-offering, which was ordained in mount Sinai for a sweet savor, a sacrifice made by fire to the LORD.
7 When they burn each lamb, they must also pour on the sacred altar one quart/liter of wine.
And the drink-offering of it [shall be] the fourth [part] of a hin for the one lamb: in the holy [place] shalt thou cause the strong wine to be poured to the LORD [for] a drink-offering.
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 other lamb shalt thou offer at evening; as the meat-offering of the morning, and as the drink-offering of it, thou shalt offer [it], a sacrifice made by fire, of a 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 two lambs of the first year without spot, and two tenth-parts of flour [for] a meat-offering, mingled with oil, and its 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.”
[This is] the burnt-offering of every sabbath, besides the continual burnt-offering, and his 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 in the beginnings of your months ye shall offer a burnt-offering to the LORD; two young bullocks, and one ram, seven lambs of the first year without spot;
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.
And three tenth-parts of flour [for] a meat-offering, mingled with oil, for one bullock; and two tenth-parts of flour [for] a meat-offering, 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.
And a several tenth-part of flour mingled with oil [for] a meat-offering to one lamb, [for] a burnt-offering of a sweet savor, a sacrifice made by fire 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].
And their drink-offering shall be half a hin of wine to a bullock, and the third [part] of a hin to a ram, and a fourth [part] of a hin to a lamb: this [is] the burnt-offering of every month 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 one kid of the goats for a sin-offering to the LORD shall be offered, besides the continual burnt-offering, and his 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 on the fourteenth day of the first month [is] the passover of 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] the feast: seven days shall unleavened bread be eaten.
18 On the first day of that festival, you must gather together to worship me, and you must not do any work.
On the first day [shall be] a holy convocation; [in it] ye shall do no manner of 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.
But ye shall offer a sacrifice made by fire [for] a burnt-offering to the LORD; two young bullocks, and one ram, and seven lambs of the first year: 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 of] flour mingled with oil: three tenth-parts shall ye offer for a bullock, and two tenth-parts for a ram;
21 With each of the seven lambs, bring an offering of two quarts/liters of finely-ground flour mixed with [olive] oil.
A several tenth-part shalt thou offer for every lamb, throughout the seven lambs:
22 Also bring one goat for a sacrifice to cause you to be forgiven for your sin.
And one goat [for] a sin-offering, to make an atonement for you.
23 Bring these offerings in addition to the offerings that you bring each morning.
Ye shall offer these besides the burnt-offering in the morning, which [is] for a continual burnt-offering.
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].
After this manner ye shall offer daily throughout the seven days, the food of the sacrifice made by fire, of a sweet savor to the LORD: it shall be offered besides the continual burnt-offering, and his 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 on the seventh day ye shall have a holy convocation; ye shall do no servile work.
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.
Also in the day of the first-fruits, when ye bring a new meat-offering to the LORD, after your weeks [are ended], ye shall have a holy convocation; ye 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.
But ye shall offer the burnt-offering for a sweet savor to the LORD; two young bullocks, one ram, seven lambs of the first year;
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,
And their meat-offering of flour mingled with oil, three tenth-parts to one bullock, two tenth-parts to one ram,
29 and with each of the lambs bring two quarts/liters.
A several tenth part to one lamb, throughout the seven lambs;
30 Also sacrifice one male goat to cause you to be forgiven for your sins.
[And] one kid of the goats, to make an atonement for you.
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.”
Ye shall offer [them] besides the continual burnt-offering and his meat-offering (they shall be to you without blemish) and their drink-offerings.
