Prescribed Offerings

Lord said to Moses,  2  “Command the Israelites, and say to them: ‘Be careful to offer to Me at the appointed time the food for My offerings made by fire, as a pleasing aroma to Me.  3  Say to them: ‘This is the offering made by fire that you are to present to the Lord: Each day present two year-old male lambs without defect, as a regular burnt offering.  4  You are to offer one lamb in the morning and the other lamb at twilight,  5  along with a tenth of an ephah of fine flour as a grain offering, mixed with a quarter of a hin of beaten oil.  6  It is a regular burnt offering that was ordained at Mount Sinai for a pleasing aroma, an offering made to the Lord by fire.  7  The drink offering with it is to be a quarter of a hin for each lamb. Pour out the drink offering to the Lord in the sanctuary area.  8  The other lamb you are to offer at twilight, along with the same kind of grain offering and drink offering as in the morning. Present it as an offering made by fire, an aroma pleasing to the Lord.

Offerings for the Sabbath

9 ‘On the Sabbath day, make of offering of two year-old male lambs without defect, and two-tenths of an ephah of fine flour as a grain offering, mixed with oil, and its drink offering.  10  This is the burnt offering for every Sabbath, in addition to the regular burnt offering with its drink offering.

Monthly Offerings

11  ‘At the beginning of each month present a burnt offering to the Lord: two young bulls, one ram, and seven year-old male lambs, all without defect, 12 , and three-tenths of an ephah of fine flour mixed with oil as a grain offering for each bull, and two-tenths of an ephah of fine flour mixed with oil as a grain offering for the ram,  13  and a tenth of an ephah of fine flour mixed with oil for a grain offering for each lamb. This is for a burnt offering, a pleasing aroma, an offering made to the Lord by fire.  14  Their drink offerings are to be half a hin of wine with each bull, a third of a hin with each ram, and a quarter of a hin with each lamb. This is the monthly burnt offering for every month of the year.  15  Also one male goat is to be offered for a sin offering to the Lord, in addition to the regular burnt offering with its drink offering.
