Israel Offers Regular Sacrifices

Open in the reader →

1And Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,

2Command the sons of Israel, and say to them, ‘My offering, my food for my food offerings, my pleasing aroma, you shall be careful to present to me at its appointed time.’

3And you shall say to them, ‘This is the food offering that you shall present to Yahweh: two male lambs a year old, without blemish, each day, as a regular burnt offering.’

4You shall offer one lamb in the morning, and the second lamb you shall offer between the evenings.

5and a tenth of an ephah of fine flour for a grain offering, mixed with a quarter of a hin of beaten oil.

6It is the regular burnt offering, made at Mount Sinai as a pleasing aroma, a food offering to Yahweh.

7And its drink offering shall be a quarter of a hin for each lamb. In the holy place you shall pour out a drink offering of strong drink to Yahweh.

8And you shall offer the second lamb between the evenings; like the morning grain offering and its drink offering, you shall offer it as a food offering, a pleasing aroma to Yahweh.

9And on the Sabbath day: two male lambs a year old, without blemish, and two-tenths of an ephah of fine flour as a grain offering, mixed with oil, and its drink offering.

10The burnt offering of each Sabbath is on its Sabbath, in addition to the regular burnt offering and its drink offering.

11At the beginnings of your months, you shall present a burnt offering to Yahweh: two bulls from the herd, one ram, and seven male lambs a year old, without blemish.

12and three-tenths of an ephah of fine flour as a grain offering, mixed with oil, for the one bull, and two-tenths of an ephah of fine flour as a grain offering, mixed with oil, for the one ram.

13and a tenth of an ephah of fine flour as a grain offering mixed with oil for each lamb, as a burnt offering, a pleasing aroma, a food offering to Yahweh.

14And their drink offerings shall be: half a hin for the bull, a third of a hin for the ram, and a fourth of a hin for the lamb, of wine. This is the monthly burnt offering for each month throughout the months of the year.

15And one male goat for a sin offering to Yahweh shall be offered besides the regular burnt offering and its drink offering.

16In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month, is the Passover of Yahweh.

17And on the fifteenth day of this month is a feast; for seven days unleavened bread shall be eaten.

18On the first day there shall be a holy convocation; you shall do no laborious work.

19And you shall present a food offering, a burnt offering to Yahweh: two bulls, one ram, and seven male lambs a year old; they shall be without blemish for you.

20And their grain offering shall be fine flour mixed with oil: three-tenths for the bull, and two-tenths for the ram you shall prepare.

21You shall prepare a tenth of an ephah for each lamb, for the seven lambs.

22and one male goat for a sin offering, to make atonement for you.

23In addition to the regular morning burnt offering, you shall offer these.

24Thus you shall offer these each day for seven days: food, an offering made by fire, a pleasing aroma to Yahweh; it shall be offered in addition to the regular burnt offering and its drink offering.

25On the seventh day you shall have a holy convocation; you shall do no ordinary work.

26And on the day of the firstfruits, when you present a new grain offering to Yahweh at your Feast of Weeks, you shall have a holy convocation. You shall do no ordinary work.

27And you shall present a burnt offering as a pleasing aroma to Yahweh: two bulls from the herd, one ram, and seven male lambs a year old.

28And their grain offering shall be fine flour mixed with oil: three-tenths for the one bull, and two-tenths for the one ram.

29a tenth for each lamb, for the seven lambs.

30and one male goat to make atonement for you.

31Besides the regular burnt offering and its grain offering, you shall prepare them; they shall be without blemish, along with their drink offerings.
