Numbers 28:1-8
Evangelical Heritage Version
The Offerings
28 The Lord told Moses 2 to deliver this command to the Israelites:
The Daily Offerings
Make sure that you present my offering at its appointed time. Present it as my food, an offering made by fire, with a pleasing aroma to me. 3 Say to them, “This is the offering made by fire that you shall present to the Lord each day: two one-year-old male lambs without defect as a regular burnt offering. 4 You are to offer one lamb in the morning, and you are to offer the other lamb at twilight, 5 along with two quarts[a] of fine flour as a grain offering, mixed with one quart[b] of oil from beaten[c] olives.” 6 It is the regular burnt offering put into effect at Mount Sinai for a pleasing aroma, an offering made by fire to the Lord. 7 The drink offering with it is to be one quart for one lamb. You are to pour out the drink offering of beer[d] to the Lord at the sanctuary. 8 You are to prepare the other lamb at twilight. You are to prepare it along with the same kind of grain offering and drink offering as in the morning, an offering made by fire, with a pleasing aroma to the Lord.
