Monthly Offerings

11 “At the beginning of each of your months present a burnt offering to the Lord: two young bulls, one ram, seven male lambs a year old—all unblemished— 12 with six quarts[a] of fine flour mixed with oil as a grain offering for each bull, four quarts[b] of fine flour mixed with oil as a grain offering for the ram, 13 and two quarts[c] of fine flour mixed with oil as a grain offering for each lamb. It is a burnt offering, a pleasing aroma, a fire offering to the Lord. 14 Their drink offerings are to be two quarts[d] of wine with each bull, one and a third quarts[e] with the ram, and one quart[f] with each male lamb. This is the monthly burnt offering for all the months of the year. 15 And one male goat is to be offered as a sin offering to the Lord, in addition to the regular burnt offering with its drink offering.

The Monthly Offerings

11 “On the first day of each month, present an extra burnt offering to the Lord of two young bulls, one ram, and seven one-year-old male lambs, all with no defects. 12 These must be accompanied by grain offerings of choice flour moistened with olive oil—six quarts[a] with each bull, four quarts with the ram, 13 and two quarts with each lamb. This burnt offering will be a special gift, a pleasing aroma to the Lord. 14 You must also present a liquid offering with each sacrifice: two quarts[b] of wine for each bull, a third of a gallon[c] for the ram, and one quart[d] for each lamb. Present this monthly burnt offering on the first day of each month throughout the year.
