Numbers 28
Offerings for every day
(Also in Exodus 29:38-43; Leviticus 6:8-13)
1The Lord said to Moses: 2‘You must tell the Israelites to give Me offerings at the right time. They must sacrifice it to please Me.
3Tell them to sacrifice 2 healthy ram-lambs that are one-year-old as an offering to Me. They must bring this burnt-offering every day. 4They must sacrifice one lamb in the morning and the other lamb when it becomes dark. 5With this burnt-offering they must also sacrifice a grain-offering. The grain-offering must be one 10th of an ephah of the best flour that you have mixed with a quarter_hin of olive oil. 6This is the burnt-offering that you must bring every day, the offering that you have given Me from the time that you were at Mount Sinai. It is a burnt-offering that pleases Me. 7With the burnt-offering you must also give a drink-offering to the Lord. It must be a quarter_hin of wine that you must pour out against the altar at the tent of the Lord. 8When it becomes dark, you must sacrifice the 2nd lamb with a wheat-offering and the drink-offering. You must sacrifice it like you did the offering in the morning. This is a burnt-offering that pleases Me, the Lord.’
Offerings on the Sabbath day
9The Lord said to Moses: ‘On the Sabbath day you must sacrifice 2 healthy ram-lambs that are one-year-old. You must also sacrifice 2 10ths of an ephah of the best flour that you have mixed with olive oil and a drink-offering with the lambs. 10This is the burnt-offering that you must sacrifice every Sabbath day, with the burnt-offerings that you bring every day and the drink-offerings that you bring with the burnt-offerings.’
The offerings on the first day of the month
11The Lord said to Moses: ‘On the first day of each month you must sacrifice 2 young bulls, one sheep ram and 7 ram lambs to the Lord. They must all be healthy. 12With each bull you must sacrifice a grain-offering of 3 10ths of an ephah of the best flour that you have mixed with olive oil. With the ram you must sacrifice a grain-offering of 2 10ths of an ephah of the best flour that you have mixed with olive oil. 13With each lamb you must sacrifice a grain-offering of one 10th of an ephah of the best flour that you have mixed with olive oil. This is a burnt-offering, a fire-offering that pleases Me. 14The drink-offering that you must give with each bull must be half a hin of wine. The drink-offering that you must give with each ram must be one 3rd_hin of wine and the drink-offering with each lamb must be a quarter_hin. This is the burnt-offering that you must sacrifice every month of the year. 15With these offerings, you must also give a goat-ram for a sin-offering. You must sacrifice these offerings with the burnt-offerings that you sacrifice every day and the drink-offerings that you bring with the burnt-offerings.’
The offerings on Passover
16The Lord said to Moses: ‘On the 14th day of the first month is the Passover of the Lord, 17and on the 15th day of the month is the start to the Feast of the flat bread for 7 days when you may eat only flat bread. 18On the first day of this feast you must come together and consecrate yourselves. You may not work on that day. 19You must give a fire-offering to the Lord. It must be a burnt-offering of 2 bulls, one sheep ram and 7 ram-lambs that are one-year-old. They must all be healthy. 20You must also give a wheat-offering of the best flour that you have mixed with olive oil. It must be 3 10ths of an ephah of flour with a bull, 2 10ths of an ephah of flour with the sheep ram, 21and one 10th of an ephah of flour with each lamb. 22You must also give a goat-ram for a sin-offering to make atonement for your sins. 23You must bring these offerings with the burnt-offering that you sacrifice every morning, 24and you must do this on every day of the 7 days of the feast. This is a meal-offering, a fire-offering that pleases Me. You must sacrifice it with the burnt-offering that you have to sacrifice every day and the drink-offering that you have to bring with the burnt-offering. 25On the 7th day you must come together again and consecrate yourselves to the Lord. You may not work on that day.’
The offerings on the Feast of weeks
26The Lord said to Moses: ‘On the day when you celebrate the Feast of weeks and you sacrifice a wheat-offering from the new wheat to the Lord, from the new wheat that you have cut, you must come together and consecrate yourselves to the Lord. You may not work on that day. 27You must give a burnt-offering to the Lord that pleases Him. The burnt-offering must be 2 bulls, one sheep ram, and 7 lambs that are one-year-old. 28You must give this with the wheat-offering that you have to bring with the fire-offering. The grain-offering must be from the best flour that you have mixed with olive oil. It must be 3 10ths of an ephah of flour with a bull, 2 10ths of an ephah of flour with a sheep ram 29and one 10th of an ephah of flour with each lamb. 30You must also give a goat-ram to make atonement for yourselves. 31You must sacrifice a burnt-offering and a grain-offering every day. With these offerings that you give to make atonement you must also bring drink-offerings. All the animals that you sacrifice must be healthy.’
