Offerings for the Passover

16 “On the fourteenth day of the first month,[a] you must celebrate the Lord’s Passover. 17 On the following day—the fifteenth day of the month—a joyous, seven-day festival will begin, but no bread made with yeast may be eaten. 18 The first day of the festival will be an official day for holy assembly, and no ordinary work may be done on that day. 19 As a special gift you must present a burnt offering to the Lord—two young bulls, one ram, and seven one-year-old male lambs, all with no defects. 20 These will be accompanied by grain offerings of choice flour moistened with olive oil—six quarts with each bull, four quarts with the ram, 21 and two quarts with each of the seven lambs. 22 You must also offer a male goat as a sin offering to purify yourselves and make yourselves right with the Lord.[b] 23 Present these offerings in addition to your regular morning burnt offering. 24 On each of the seven days of the festival, this is how you must prepare the food offering that is presented as a special gift, a pleasing aroma to the Lord. These will be offered in addition to the regular burnt offerings and liquid offerings. 25 The seventh day of the festival will be another official day for holy assembly, and no ordinary work may be done on that day.

Passover Offerings

16 (A)Then on the fourteenth day of the first month shall be the Passover of Yahweh. 17 (B)And on the fifteenth day of this month shall be a (C)feast; unleavened bread shall be eaten for seven days. 18 On the (D)first day shall be a holy convocation; you shall do no laborious work. 19 And you shall bring near an offering by fire, a burnt offering to Yahweh: two bulls from the herd and one ram and seven male lambs one year old; (E)they shall be for you without blemish. 20 Now as for their grain offering, you shall offer fine flour mixed with oil: three-tenths of an [a]ephah for a bull and two-tenths for the ram. 21 A tenth of an [b]ephah you shall offer for [c]each of the seven lambs; 22 and one male goat for a (F)sin offering to make atonement for you. 23 You shall offer these besides (G)the burnt offering of the morning, which is for a continual burnt offering. 24 After this manner you shall offer daily, for seven days, (H)the food of the offering by fire, of a soothing aroma to Yahweh; it shall be offered with its drink offering in addition to the (I)continual burnt offering. 25 Now on the seventh day you shall have a holy convocation; (J)you shall do no laborious work.
