< Numbers 28 >

1 The Lord also said to Moses:
And the Lord said to Moses,
2 “Instruct the sons of Israel, and you shall say to them: Offer my oblation and bread, and the incense of most sweet odor, at their proper times.
Give orders to the children of Israel and say to them, Let it be your care to give me my offerings at their regular times, the food of the offerings made by fire to me for a sweet smell.
3 These are the sacrifices which you must offer: Two immaculate one-year-old lambs each day as a perpetual holocaust.
Say to them, This is the offering made by fire which you are to give to the Lord; he-lambs of the first year without any mark, two every day as a regular burned offering.
4 You shall offer one in morning, and the other in the evening,
Let one be offered in the morning, and the other at evening;
5 and the tenth part of an ephah of fine wheat flour, which has been sprinkled with the purest oil, and which has the measure of the fourth part of a hin.
And the tenth part of an ephah of the best meal for a meal offering mixed with the fourth part of a hin of clear oil.
6 It is the continual holocaust which you offered at mount Sinai as a most sweet odor of incense to the Lord.
It is a regular burned offering, as it was ordered in Mount Sinai, for a sweet smell, an offering made by fire to the Lord.
7 And you shall offer a libation of wine, of the fourth part of a hin for each lamb, in the Sanctuary of the Lord.
And for its drink offering take the fourth part of a hin for one lamb: in the holy place let the wine be drained out for a drink offering for the Lord.
8 And you shall offer the other lamb similarly, in the evening, according to all the rites of the morning sacrifice and its libations, as an oblation of most sweet odor to the Lord.
Let the other lamb be offered at evening; like the meal offering of the morning and its drink offering, let it be offered as an offering made by fire for a sweet smell to the Lord.
9 Then, on the Sabbath day, you shall offer two immaculate one-year-old lambs, and two tenths of fine wheat flour sprinkled with oil, as sacrifice, as well as the libations
And on the Sabbath day, two he-lambs of the first year, without any mark, and two tenth parts of the best meal for a meal offering mixed with oil, and its drink offering:
10 that are usually poured out on each Sabbath as a perpetual holocaust.
This is the burned offering for every Sabbath day, in addition to the regular burned offering, and its drink offering.
11 Then, on the first day of the month, you shall offer a holocaust to the Lord: two calves from the herd, one ram, seven immaculate one-year-old lambs,
And on the first day of every month you are to give a burned offering to the Lord; two oxen, one male sheep, and seven he-lambs of the first year, without any mark;
12 and three tenths of fine wheat flour sprinkled with oil, as sacrifice, for each calf, and two tenths of fine wheat flour sprinkled with oil, for each ram,
And three tenth parts of the best meal for a meal offering mixed with oil, for every ox; and two tenth parts of the best meal for a meal offering mixed with oil, for the one sheep;
13 and one tenth of fine wheat flour with oil, as a sacrifice, for each lamb. It is a holocaust of most sweet odor and also an incense to the Lord.
And a separate tenth part of the best meal mixed with oil for a meal offering for every lamb; for a burned offering of a sweet smell, an offering made by fire to the Lord.
14 Now these shall be the libations of wine, which are to be poured out for each victim: one half portion of a hin for each calf, one third for a ram, and one fourth for a lamb. This shall be the holocaust for all the months, as they succeed one another in the turning of the year.
And their drink offerings are to be half a hin of wine for an ox, and the third part of a hin for a male sheep, and the fourth part of a hin for a lamb: this is the burned offering for every month through all the months of the year.
15 Likewise, a he-goat shall be offered to the Lord for sin, with the perpetual holocaust and its libations.
And one he-goat for a sin-offering to the Lord; it is to be offered in addition to the regular burned offering and its drink offering.
16 Then, in the first month, the fourteenth day of the month shall be the Passover of the Lord.
And in the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month, is the Lord's Passover.
17 And the fifteenth day shall be a solemnity. For seven days, they shall eat unleavened bread.
On the fifteenth day of this month there is to be a feast; for seven days let your food be unleavened cakes.
18 And the first day of these days shall be venerable and holy; you shall not do any servile work in it.
On the first day there is to be a holy meeting: you may do no sort of field-work:
19 And you shall offer the incense of a holocaust to the Lord, two calves from the herd, one ram, seven immaculate one-year-old lambs;
And you are to give an offering made by fire, a burned offering to the Lord; two oxen, one male sheep, and seven he-lambs of the first year, without any mark:
20 and with each sacrifice, from fine wheat flour which has been sprinkled with oil, three tenths for each calf, and two tenths for each ram,
And their meal offering, the best meal mixed with oil: let three tenth parts of an ephah be offered for an ox and two tenth parts for a male sheep;
21 and one tenth for each lamb, that is, for the seven lambs;
And a separate tenth part for every one of the seven lambs;
22 and one he-goat for sin, as an expiation for you,
And one he-goat for a sin-offering to take away your sin.
23 aside from the morning holocaust, which you shall always offer.
These are to be offered in addition to the morning burned offering, which is a regular burned offering at all times.
24 You shall do this on each day of the seven days, as fuel for the fire, and as a most sweet odor to the Lord, which shall rise up from the holocaust and from each of the libations.
In this way, every day for seven days, give the food of the offering made by fire, a sweet smell to the Lord: it is to be offered in addition to the regular burned offering, and its drink offering.
25 Likewise, the seventh day shall be very honored and holy for you. Any servile work, you shall not do in it.
Then on the seventh day there will be a holy meeting; you may do no field-work.
26 And also the day of the first-fruits, after the weeks have been fulfilled, when you shall offer new fruits to the Lord, shall be venerable and holy. You shall not do any servile work in it.
And at the time of the first-fruits, when you give an offering of new meal to the Lord at your feast of weeks, there is to be a holy meeting: you may do no field-work:
27 And you shall offer a holocaust as a most sweet odor to the Lord: two calves from the herd, one ram, and seven immaculate one-year-old lambs,
And give a burned offering for a sweet smell to the Lord; two oxen, one male sheep, and seven he-lambs of the first year;
28 and also, as their sacrifices, fine wheat flour sprinkled with oil, three tenths for each calf, two for each ram,
And their meal offering, the best meal mixed with oil, three tenth parts for an ox, two tenth parts for a male sheep,
29 one tenth for each lamb, which all together are seven lambs; likewise, a he-goat,
And a separate tenth part for every one of the seven lambs;
30 which is slain for expiation, aside from the perpetual holocaust and its libations.
And one he-goat to take away your sin.
31 You shall offer only what is immaculate, with their libations.”
These are in addition to the regular burned offering and its meal offering; take care that they are without any mark, and let them be offered with their drink offerings.
