Chapter 28

Daily Offerings.^{[a] 1} The Lord spoke to Moses, saying, ² “Command the people of Israel and say to them, ‘You will be careful to present my offering in its proper time, my food for my offerings made by fire, a pleasant fragrance.’ ³ You will say to them, ‘This is the offering that you will make by fire to the Lord: two male year-old lambs that are without defect. They are each day’s regular burnt offering.^{[b] 4} You will offer one lamb in the morning, and you will offer the other lamb in the evening ⁵ along with one-tenth of an ephah of fine flour mixed with one-fourth of a hin of pressed oil as a cereal offering. ⁶ This is the regular burnt offering which was established on Mount Sinai as a pleasing fragrance, an offering made by fire to the Lord. ⁷ Its drink offering is to be a fourth of a hin for each lamb. You will pour out the strong wine as a drink offering to the Lord in the sanctuary. ⁸ The other lamb will be offered in the evening with the same cereal offering as in the morning and the drink offering. You will offer it as an offering made by fire, a pleasing fragrance to the Lord.

Sabbath Offerings. ⁹ “ ‘On the Sabbath offer two male year-old lambs that are without defect, two-tenths of an ephah of fine flour mixed with oil as a cereal offering, and its drink offering. ¹⁰ The burnt offering for each Sabbath is in addition to the regular burnt offerings and their drink offerings.

¹¹ Monthly Offerings.“ ‘At the beginnings of your months, you will offer a burnt offering to the Lord: two young bulls, one ram, and seven male year-old lambs that are without defect ¹² along with three-tenths of an ephah of fine flour mixed with oil as a cereal offering for each young bull, two-tenths of an ephah of fine flour mixed with oil as a cereal offering for each ram, ¹³ and one-tenth of an ephah of fine flour mixed with oil as a cereal offering for each lamb. This will be a burnt offering, a pleasing fragrance, an offering made by fire to the Lord. ¹⁴ The drink offering will be half a hin of wine for each young bull, a third of a hin for each ram, and a fourth of a hin for each lamb. This is the burnt offering to be made each new moon^[c] throughout the year. ¹⁵ Besides the regular burnt offerings with their drink offerings, one kid goat is to be offered to the Lord as a sin offering.

¹⁶ At Passover.^[d]“ ‘The Passover of the Lord is to be celebrated on the fourteenth day of the first month. ¹⁷ The fifteenth day of this month is a feast, unleavened bread is to be eaten for seven days. ¹⁸ On the first day you will have a sacred assembly, you are not to do any heavy labor. ¹⁹ Present an offering made by fire of two young bulls, one ram, and seven male year-old lambs to the Lord.

It is offered in addition to the regular burnt offerings and their drink offerings. ²⁵ On the seventh day you will have a holy assembly; you are not to do any heavy labor.
