15 And the Lord spoke unto Moses, saying,

“Speak unto the children of Israel and say unto them: ‘When ye have come into the land of your habitations, which I give unto you,

and will make an offering by fire unto the Lord, a burnt offering or a sacrifice in performing a vow, or in a freewill offering, or in your solemn feasts, to make a sweet savor unto the Lord of the herd or of the flock,

then shall he that offereth his offering unto the Lord bring a meat offering of a tenth part of flour mingled with a fourth part of a hin of oil.

And a fourth part of a hin of wine for a drink offering shalt thou prepare with the burnt offering or sacrifice, for one lamb.

Or for a ram, thou shalt prepare for a meat offering two tenths part of flour mingled with a third part of a hin of oil.

And for a drink offering thou shalt offer a third part of a hin of wine for a sweet savor unto the Lord.

And when thou preparest a bullock for a burnt offering, or for a sacrifice in performing a vow, or peace offerings unto the Lord,

then shall he bring with a bullock a meat offering of three tenths part of flour mingled with half a hin of oil.

10 And thou shalt bring for a drink offering half a hin of wine for an offering made by fire of a sweet savor unto the Lord.

11 “‘Thus shall it be done for one bullock or for one ram or for a lamb or a kid.

12 According to the number that ye shall prepare, so shall ye do to every one according to their number.

13 All who are born of the country shall do these things in this manner in offering an offering made by fire of a sweet savor unto the Lord.

With each lamb(I) for the burnt offering or the sacrifice, prepare a quarter of a hin of wine(J) as a drink offering.(K)

“‘With a ram(L) prepare a grain offering(M) of two-tenths of an ephah[c](N) of the finest flour mixed with a third of a hin[d] of olive oil,(O) and a third of a hin of wine(P) as a drink offering.(Q) Offer it as an aroma pleasing to the Lord.(R)

“‘When you prepare a young bull(S) as a burnt offering or sacrifice, for a special vow(T) or a fellowship offering(U) to the Lord, bring with the bull a grain offering(V) of three-tenths of an ephah[e](W) of the finest flour mixed with half a hin[f] of olive oil, 10 and also bring half a hin of wine(X) as a drink offering.(Y) This will be a food offering, an aroma pleasing to the Lord.(Z) 11 Each bull or ram, each lamb or young goat, is to be prepared in this manner. 12 Do this for each one, for as many as you prepare.(AA)
