Daily Offerings

28 Then Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, “Command the sons of Israel and say to them, ‘You shall [a]be careful to bring near My offering, My (A)food for My offerings by fire, of a soothing aroma to Me, at their appointed time.’ (B)And you shall say to them, ‘This is the offering by fire which you shall bring near to Yahweh: two male lambs one year old without blemish as a continual burnt offering every day. You shall offer the one lamb in the morning, and the other lamb you shall offer [b]at twilight, also (C)a tenth of an [c]ephah of fine flour for a (D)grain offering, mixed with a fourth of a [d]hin of beaten oil. It is a continual burnt offering which was ordained in Mount Sinai as a soothing aroma, an offering by fire to Yahweh. Then the drink offering with it shall be a fourth of a hin for each lamb, (E)in the holy place you shall pour out a drink offering of strong drink to Yahweh. And the other lamb you shall offer [e]at twilight; as the grain offering of the morning and as its drink offering, you shall offer it, an offering by fire, a soothing aroma to Yahweh.

The Offerings

28 The Lord told Moses 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. 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. You are to offer one lamb in the morning, and you are to offer the other lamb at twilight, along with two quarts[a] of fine flour as a grain offering, mixed with one quart[b] of oil from beaten[c] olives.” It is the regular burnt offering put into effect at Mount Sinai for a pleasing aroma, an offering made by fire to the Lord. 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. 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.
