Laws about Offerings

15 The Lord instructed Moses: “Speak to the Israelites and tell them: When you enter the land I am giving you to settle in, and you make a fire offering to the Lord from the herd or flock—either a burnt offering or a sacrifice, to fulfill a vow,(A) or as a freewill offering, or at your appointed festivals—to produce a pleasing aroma for the Lord, the one presenting his offering to the Lord must also present a grain offering of two quarts[a] of fine flour mixed with a quart[b] of oil. Prepare a quart[c] of wine as a drink offering with the burnt offering or sacrifice of each lamb.

“If you prepare a grain offering with a ram, it must be four quarts[d] of fine flour mixed with a third of a gallon[e] of oil. Also present a third of a gallon[f] of wine for a drink offering as a pleasing aroma to the Lord.

“If you prepare a young bull as a burnt offering or as a sacrifice, to fulfill a vow, or as a fellowship offering to the Lord, a grain offering of six quarts[g] of fine flour mixed with two quarts[h] of oil must be presented with the bull. 10 Also present two quarts[i] of wine as a drink offering. It is a fire offering of pleasing aroma to the Lord. 11 This is to be done for each ox, ram, lamb, or goat. 12 This is how you must prepare each of them, no matter how many.

13 “Every Israelite is to prepare these things in this way when he presents a fire offering as a pleasing aroma to the Lord.

Offerings by the Israelis

15 Later, the Lord instructed[a] Moses, “Tell the Israelis that when you enter the land where you’ll be living that I’m about to give you, you are to make an offering by fire to the Lord, either a burnt offering, a sacrificial offering to fulfill a vow, or a voluntary offering at the appointed time, to make a pleasing aroma to the Lord either from your cattle or from your flocks. The offeror is to bring the oblation to the Lord, containing one tenth of an ephah[b] of fine flour as a grain offering, mixed with one fourth of a hin[c] of olive oil. Also prepare one fourth of a hin[d] of wine for a drink offering or for the sacrifice of each lamb.

“For a ram, prepare a grain offering consisting of two tenths of an ephah[e] of fine flour mixed with one third of a hin[f] of olive oil. Now as for your drink offering, offer one third of a hin[g] of wine as a pleasing aroma to the Lord.

“When you prepare a bull as a burnt offering, or as a sacrifice to fulfill a vow, or for peace offerings to the Lord, then the bullock is to be presented accompanied by a meal offering of three tenths of an ephah[h] of fine flour mixed with half a hin[i] of oil.

10 “As for drink offerings, offer half a hin[j] of wine, for an offering made by fire is a pleasing aroma to the Lord. 11 Do this for each bullock, ram, male lamb, or goat. 12 Depending on the number of offerings[k] that you prepare, do for each one according to their number. 13 Every native born person is to do these things, bringing an offering made by fire as a pleasing aroma to the Lord.”
