Numbers 15:1-13

GOD’S WORD Translation

Grain and Wine Made Part of the Sacrifices to the Lord

15 The Lord said to Moses, ² “Speak to the Israelites and tell them: Once you’re settled in the land I’m giving you, ³ you may bring offerings by fire to the Lord. They may be burnt offerings or any other kind of sacrifice. They may be offered to fulfill a vow, as a freewill offering, or as one of your festival offerings. They may be cattle, sheep, or goats—offerings that are a soothing aroma to the Lord. ⁴ Whoever brings the offering must also give the Lord a grain offering of eight cups of flour mixed with one quart of olive oil. ⁵ With each sheep or goat for the burnt offering or any other sacrifice, also give an offering of one quart of wine.

⁶ “With a ram, give a grain offering of 16 cups of flour mixed with 1¼ quarts of oil ⁷ and an offering of 1¼ quarts of wine. Offer them as a soothing aroma to the Lord.

⁸ “Suppose you sacrifice a young bull as a burnt offering to the Lord or make any other kind of sacrifice—to keep a vow or as a fellowship offering. ⁹ Offer with the young bull a grain offering of 24 cups of flour mixed with two quarts of olive oil. ¹⁰ Also give an offering of two quarts of wine. It is an offering by fire, a soothing aroma to the Lord. ¹¹ Do this for each bull, each ram, and each sheep or goat. ¹² Do it for each animal, however many you sacrifice. ¹³ All native-born Israelites must do it this way when they bring an offering by fire, a soothing aroma to the Lord.
