Numbers 28–29

28TH CHAPTER

Daily Sacrifices

¹The Lord said to Moses, ²“Give this command to the Israelites: Be sure to bring me my offerings at the right times. They are my food. They are offerings by fire, a soothing aroma. ³These are the offerings by fire that you must bring to the Lord. Every day you must bring as a daily burnt offering two one-year-old lambs that have no defects. ⁴Offer one in the morning and the other at dusk. ⁵⸤With each of them⸥ also bring a grain offering of eight cups of flour mixed with one quart of virgin olive oil. ⁶This is the daily burnt offering which was established on Mount Sinai. This offering is a soothing aroma, an offering by fire to the Lord. ⁷Also bring a wine offering of one quart of wine for each lamb. Pour it out to the Lord in a holy place. ⁸Offer the other lamb at dusk along with the same grain offering and wine offering as you brought in the morning. This is an offering by fire, a soothing aroma to the Lord. 

Weekly Sacrifices

⁹“On the day of rest—a holy day, offer two one-year-old lambs that have no defects, a grain offering of 16 cups of flour mixed with olive oil, and the wine offering that goes with it. ¹⁰This burnt offering is for every day of rest—a holy day, in addition to the daily burnt offerings and the wine offerings that go with them. 

Monthly Sacrifices

¹¹“On the first of every month bring the Lord a burnt offering of two young bulls, one ram, and seven one-year-old lambs that have no defects. ¹²With each bull there will be a grain offering of 24 cups of flour mixed with olive oil, with each ram a grain offering of 16 cups of flour mixed with olive oil, ¹³and with each one-year-old lamb a grain offering of 8 cups of flour mixed with olive oil. This is a burnt offering, a soothing aroma, an offering by fire to the Lord. ¹⁴The wine offering that goes with each bull will be 2 quarts of wine, with each ram 1½ quarts of wine, and with each lamb 1 quart of wine. This will be the monthly burnt offering for every month of the year. ¹⁵In addition to the daily burnt offering with its wine offering, one male goat must be offered to the Lord as an offering for sin. 

Annual Sacrifices

¹⁶“The fourteenth day of the first month is the Lord’s Passover. ¹⁷The fifteenth of this same month is a pilgrimage festival. For seven days you must eat only unleavened bread. ¹⁸On the first day there will be a holy assembly. Don’t do any regular work. ¹⁹Instead, bring the Lord an offering by fire, a burnt offering of two young bulls, one ram, and seven one-year-old lambs, all of them without defects. ²⁰Along with them bring grain offerings of flour mixed with olive oil. Bring 24 cups for each bull, 16 cups for each ram, ²¹and 8 cups for each of the seven lambs. ²²Also bring one male goat as an offering for sin to make peace with the Lord. ²³Offer these in addition to the morning burnt offering. ²⁴Bring all these offerings on each of the seven days. They are food. They are offerings by fire, a soothing aroma to the Lord. They will be offered in addition to the daily burnt offering and the wine offering that goes with it. ²⁵On the seventh day you must have a holy assembly. You must not do any regular work. 

²⁶“During the Festival of Weeks, you must have a holy assembly. On that day you must not do any regular work. Bring the Lord your new grain offering, the first produce harvested from your fields. ²⁷Bring a burnt offering as a soothing aroma to the Lord—two young bulls, one ram, and seven one-year-old lambs. ²⁸Along with them bring grain offerings of flour mixed with olive oil. Bring 24 cups for each bull, 16 cups for each ram, ²⁹and 8 cups for each of the seven lambs. ³⁰Also bring one male goat to make peace with the Lord. ³¹Offer these animals that have no defects along with their wine offerings, in addition to the daily burnt offerings and their grain offerings.”
