Numbers 28:1-15

Good News Translation

The Regular Offerings^(A)

28 The Lord commanded Moses ² to instruct the Israelites to present to God at the appointed times the required food offerings that are pleasing to him.

³ These are the food offerings that are to be presented to the Lord: for the daily burnt offering, two one-year-old male lambs without any defects. ⁴ Offer the first lamb in the morning, and the second in the evening, ⁵ each with a grain offering of 2 pounds of flour, mixed with 2 pints of the best olive oil. ⁶ This is the daily offering that is completely burned, which was first offered at Mount Sinai as a food offering, an odor pleasing to the Lord. ⁷ As the wine offering with the first lamb, pour out at the altar 2 pints of wine. ⁸ In the evening offer the second lamb in the same way as the morning offering, together with its wine offering. It also is a food offering, an odor pleasing to the Lord.

The Sabbath Offering

⁹ On the Sabbath day offer two one-year-old male lambs without any defects, 4 pounds of flour mixed with olive oil as a grain offering, and the wine offering. ¹⁰ This burnt offering is to be offered every Sabbath in addition to the daily offering with its wine offering.

The Offering on the First Day of the Month

¹¹ Present a burnt offering to the Lord at the beginning of each month: two young bulls, one ram, seven one-year-old male lambs, all without any defects. ¹² As a grain offering, offer flour mixed with olive oil: with each bull, 6 pounds of flour; with the ram, 4 pounds; ¹³ and with each lamb, 2 pounds. These burnt offerings are food offerings, an odor pleasing to the Lord. ¹⁴ The proper wine offering is 4 pints of wine with each bull, 3 pints with the ram, and 2 pints with each lamb. This is the regulation for the burnt offering for the first day of each month throughout the year. ¹⁵ And in addition to the daily burnt offering with its wine offering, offer one male goat as a sin offering.
