The People’s Contribution to the Sacrifices

13 “This is the contribution you are to offer: Three quarts[a] from six bushels[b] of wheat and[c] three quarts from six bushels of barley. 14 The quota of oil in liquid measures[d] will be one percent of every[e] cor. The cor equals ten liquid measures or one standard larger capacity measure,[f] since ten liquid measures equal one standard larger capacity measure. 15 And the quota from the flock is one animal out of every two hundred from the well-watered pastures of Israel. These are for the grain offerings, burnt offerings, and fellowship offerings, to make atonement for the people.”(A) This is the declaration of the Lord God. 16 “All the people of the land must take part in this contribution for the prince in Israel. 17 Then the burnt offerings, grain offerings, and drink offerings for the festivals, New Moons, and Sabbaths—for all the appointed times of the house of Israel—will be the prince’s responsibility. He will provide the sin offerings, grain offerings, burnt offerings, and fellowship offerings to make atonement on behalf of the house of Israel.
