Numbers 15:1–14

Laws about Offerings

15 The Lord instructed Moses: 2 “Speak to the Israelites and tell them: When you enter the land I am giving you to settle in, s 3 and you make a fire offering t to the Lord from the herd or flock—either a * burnt offering or a sacrifice, to fulfill a vow, u or as a freewill offering, or at your appointed festivals—to produce a pleasing aroma for the Lord, v 4 the one presenting his offering to the Lord must also present a * grain offering of two quarts w of fine flour mixed with a quart x of oil. 5 Prepare a quart y of wine as a * drink offering z with the burnt offering or sacrifice of each lamb.

6 “If you prepare a grain offering with a ram, it must be four quarts a of fine flour mixed with a third of a gallon b of oil. c 7 Also present a third of a gallon d of wine for a drink offering as a pleasing aroma to the Lord.

8 “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, 9 a grain offering of six quarts e of fine flour mixed with two quarts f of oil must be presented with the bull. g 10 Also present two quarts h 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. 14 When a foreigner resides with you or someone else is among you and wants to prepare a fire offering as a pleasing aroma to the Lord, he is to do exactly as you do throughout your generations.
