The Preacher's Bible

Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying, ²“Command the children of Israel, and tell them, ‘See that you present my offering, my food for my offerings made by fire, as a pleasant aroma to me, in their due season.’ ³You shall tell them, ‘This is the offering made by fire which you shall offer to Jehovah: male lambs a year old without defect, two day by day, for a continual burnt offering. ⁴You shall offer the one lamb in the morning, and you shall offer the other lamb at evening, ⁵with one tenth of an ephah of fine flour for a meal offering, mixed with the fourth part of a hin of beaten oil. ⁶It is a continual burnt offering which was ordained in Mount Sinai for a pleasant aroma, an offering made by fire to Jehovah. ⁷Its drink offering shall be the fourth part of a hin for each lamb. You shall pour out a drink offering of strong drink to Jehovah in the holy place. ⁸The other lamb you shall offer at evening. As the meal offering of the morning, and as its drink offering, you shall offer it, an offering made by fire, for a pleasant aroma to Jehovah.

⁹“‘On the Sabbath day, you shall offer two male lambs a year old without defect, and two tenths of an ephah of fine flour for a meal offering mixed with oil, and its drink offering: ¹⁰this is the burnt offering of every Sabbath, in addition to the continual burnt offering and its drink offering.

¹¹“‘In the beginnings of your months, you shall offer a burnt offering to Jehovah: two young bulls, one ram, seven male lambs a year old without defect, ¹²and three tenths of an ephah of fine flour for a meal offering mixed with oil, for each bull; and two tenth parts of fine flour for a meal offering mixed with oil, for the one ram; ¹³and one tenth part of fine flour mixed with oil for a meal offering to every lamb, as a burnt offering of a pleasant aroma, an offering made by fire to Jehovah. ¹⁴Their drink offerings shall be half a hin of wine for a bull, the third part of a hin for the ram, and the fourth part of a hin for a lamb. This is the burnt offering of every month throughout the months of the year. ¹⁵Also, one male goat for a sin offering to Jehovah shall be offered in addition to the continual burnt offering and its drink offering.

¹⁶“‘In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month, is Jehovah’s Passover. ¹⁷On the fifteenth day of this month shall be a feast. Unleavened bread shall be eaten for seven days. ¹⁸In the first day shall be a holy convocation. You shall do no regular work, ¹⁹but you shall offer an offering made by fire, a burnt offering to Jehovah: two young bulls, one ram, and seven male lambs a year old. They shall be without defect, ²⁰with their meal offering, fine flour mixed with oil. You shall offer three tenths for a bull, and two tenths for the ram. ²¹You shall offer one tenth for every lamb of the seven lambs; ²²and one male goat for a sin offering, to make atonement for you. ²³You shall offer these in addition to the burnt offering of the morning, which is for a continual burnt offering. ²⁴In this way you shall offer daily, for seven days, the food of the offering made by fire, of a pleasant aroma to Jehovah. It shall be offered in addition to the continual burnt offering and its drink offering. ²⁵On the seventh day you shall have a holy convocation. You shall do no regular work.

²⁶“‘Also in the day of the first fruits, when you offer a new meal offering to Jehovah in your feast of weeks, you shall have a holy convocation. You shall do no regular work; ²⁷but you shall offer a burnt offering for a pleasant aroma to Jehovah: two young bulls, one ram, seven male lambs a year old; ²⁸and their meal offering, fine flour mixed with oil, three tenths for each bull, two tenths for the one ram, ²⁹one tenth for every lamb of the seven lambs; ³⁰and one male goat, to make atonement for you. ³¹Besides the continual burnt offering and its meal offering, you shall offer them and their drink offerings. See that they are without defect.
