English Standard Version

Laws About Sacrifices

15 The Lord spoke to Moses, saying, ²“Speak to the people of Israel and say to them, ^(A)When you come into the land you are to inhabit, which I am giving you, ³and ^(B)you offer to the Lord from the herd or from the flock a food offering^[a] or a burnt offering or a sacrifice, ^(C)to fulfill a vow or as a freewill offering or ^(D)at your appointed feasts, to make a ^(E)pleasing aroma to the Lord, ⁴then ^(F)he who brings his offering shall offer to the Lord ^(G)a grain offering of a tenth of an ephah^[b] of fine flour, ^(H)mixed with a quarter of a hin^[c] of oil; ⁵and you shall offer with the burnt offering, or for the sacrifice, a quarter of a hin of ^(I)wine for the drink offering for each lamb. ⁶^(J)Or for a ram, you shall offer for a grain offering two tenths of an ephah of fine flour mixed with a third of a hin of oil. ⁷And for the drink offering you shall offer a third of a hin of wine, a ^(K)pleasing aroma to the Lord. ⁸And when you offer a bull as a burnt offering or sacrifice, to ^(L)fulfill a vow or for ^(M)peace offerings to the Lord, ⁹then one shall offer ^(N)with the bull a grain offering of three tenths of an ephah of fine flour, mixed with half a hin of oil. ¹⁰And you shall offer for the drink offering half a hin of wine, as a food offering, a pleasing aroma to the Lord.

¹¹^(O)“Thus it shall be done for each bull or ram, or for each lamb or young goat. ¹²As many as you offer, so shall you do with each one, as many as there are. ¹³Every native Israelite shall do these things in this way, in offering a food offering, with a pleasing aroma to the Lord. ¹⁴And if a stranger is sojourning with you, or anyone is living permanently among you, and he wishes to offer a food offering, with a pleasing aroma to the Lord, he shall do as you do. ¹⁵For the assembly, ^(P)there shall be one statute for you and for the stranger who sojourns with you, a statute forever throughout your generations. You and the sojourner shall be alike before the Lord. ¹⁶One law and one rule shall be for you and for the stranger who sojourns with you.”

¹⁷The Lord spoke to Moses, saying, ¹⁸^(Q)“Speak to the people of Israel and say to them, When you come into the land to which I bring you ¹⁹and when you eat of ^(R)the bread of the land, you shall present a contribution to the Lord. ²⁰^(S)Of the first of your dough you shall present a loaf as a contribution; like a ^(T)contribution from the threshing floor, so shall you present it. ²¹^(U)Some of the first of your dough you shall give to the Lord as a contribution throughout your generations.
