Daily Offerings

28 ^[a] The Lord spoke to Moses: ² “Command the Israelites:^[b] ‘With regard to my offering,^[c] be sure to offer^[d] my food for my offering made by fire, as a pleasing aroma to me at its appointed time.’^{[e] 3} You will say to them, ‘This is the offering made by fire that you must offer to the Lord: two unblemished lambs one year old each day for a continual^[f] burnt offering. ⁴ The first lamb you must offer in the morning, and the second lamb you must offer in the late afternoon,^{[g] 5} with one-tenth of an ephah^[h] of finely ground flour as a grain offering mixed with one-quarter of a hin^[i] of pressed olive oil. ⁶ It is a continual burnt offering that was instituted on Mount Sinai as a pleasing aroma, an offering made by fire to the Lord.

⁷ “‘And its drink offering must be one-quarter of a hin for each lamb.^[j] You must pour out the strong drink^[k] as a drink offering to the Lord in the Holy Place. ⁸ And the second lamb you must offer in the late afternoon; just as you offered the grain offering and drink offering in the morning,^[l] you must offer it as an offering made by fire, as a pleasing aroma to the Lord.

Weekly Offerings

⁹ “‘On the Sabbath day, you must offer^[m] two unblemished lambs a year old, and two-tenths of an ephah^[n] of finely ground flour as a grain offering, mixed with olive oil, along with its drink offering. ¹⁰ This is the burnt offering for every Sabbath,^[o] besides the continual burnt offering and its drink offering.

Monthly Offerings

¹¹ “‘On the first day of each month^[p] you must offer as a burnt offering to the Lord two young bulls, one ram, and seven unblemished lambs a year old, ¹² with three-tenths of an ephah of finely ground flour mixed with olive oil as a grain offering for each bull, and two-tenths of an ephah of finely ground flour mixed with olive oil as a grain offering for the ram, ¹³ and one-tenth of an ephah of finely ground flour mixed with olive oil as a grain offering for each lamb, as a burnt offering for a pleasing aroma, an offering made by fire to the Lord. ¹⁴ For their drink offerings, include^[q] half a hin of wine with each bull, one-third of a hin for the ram, and one-fourth of a hin for each lamb. This is the burnt offering for each month^[r] throughout the months of the year. ¹⁵ And one male goat^[s] must be offered to the Lord as a purification offering, in addition to the continual burnt offering and its drink offering.

The Passover

¹⁶ “‘On the fourteenth day of the first month is the Lord’s Passover. ¹⁷ And on the fifteenth day of this month is the festival. For seven days bread made without yeast must be eaten. ¹⁸ And on the first day there is to be a holy assembly; you must do no ordinary work^[t] on it.

¹⁹ “‘But you must offer to the Lord an offering made by fire, a burnt offering of two young bulls, one ram, and seven lambs one year old; they must all be unblemished.^{[u] 20} And their grain offering is to be of finely ground flour mixed with olive oil. For each bull you must offer three-tenths of an ephah, and two-tenths for the ram. ²¹ For each of the seven lambs you are to offer one-tenth of an ephah, ²² as well as one goat for a purification offering, to make atonement for you. ²³ You must offer these in addition to the burnt offering in the morning that is for a continual burnt offering. ²⁴ In this manner you must offer daily throughout the seven days the food of the sacrifice made by fire as a sweet aroma to the Lord. It is to be offered in addition to the continual burnt offering and its drink offering. ²⁵ On the seventh day you are to have a holy assembly, you must do no regular work.

Firstfruits

²⁶ “‘Also, on the day of the firstfruits, when you bring a new grain offering to the Lord during your Feast of Weeks, you are to have a holy assembly. You must do no ordinary work. ²⁷ But you must offer as the burnt offering, as a sweet aroma to the Lord, two young bulls, one ram, seven lambs one year old, ²⁸ with their grain offering of finely ground flour mixed with olive oil: three-tenths of an ephah for each bull, two-tenths for the one ram, ²⁹ with one-tenth for each of the seven lambs, ³⁰ as well as one male goat to make an atonement for you. ³¹ You are to offer them with their drink offerings in addition to the continual burnt offering and its grain offering—they must be unblemished.
