Numbers Chapter 28

Books of The Bible / Numbers

¹ Yahweh spoke to Moses and said,

² ‘Give the Israelites this order: “Take care to bring me my offering, my sustenance in the form of food burnt as a smell pleasing to me, at the proper time.”

³ ‘You will then say to them: “This is the food which you will burn in offering to Yahweh: “Every day, two unblemished yearling lambs as a perpetual burnt offering.

⁴ You will offer the first lamb in the morning and the second lamb at twilight,

⁵ with a cereal offering of one-tenth of an ephah of fine flour mixed with one-quarter of a hin of crushed-olive oil.

⁶ Such was the perpetual burnt offering made on Mount Sinai as a pleasing smell, as food burnt for Yahweh.

⁷ The accompanying libation will be of one-quarter of a hin for each lamb; the libation of fermented liquor for Yahweh will be poured inside the sanctuary.

⁸ The second lamb you will offer at twilight, offering it with the same cereal offering and the same libation as in the morning, as food burnt as a smell pleasing to Yahweh.

⁹ “On the Sabbath day, you will offer two unblemished yearling lambs and two-tenths of an ephah of fine flour as a cereal offering, mixed with oil, as well as the accompanying libation.

¹⁰ The Sabbath burnt offering will be offered every Sabbath in addition to the perpetual burnt offering, and the accompanying libation similarly.

¹¹ “At the beginning of each of your months you will offer a burnt offering to Yahweh: two young bulls, one ram and seven yearling lambs, without blemish;

¹² for each bull a cereal offering of three-tenths of an ephah of fine flour mixed with oil; for each ram, a cereal offering of two-tenths of fine flour mixed with oil;

¹³ for each lamb, a cereal offering of one-tenth of fine flour mixed with oil: as a burnt offering, as a pleasing smell, as food burnt for Yahweh.

¹⁴ The accompanying libations will be of half a hin of wine for a bull, one-third of a hin for a ram and one-quarter of a hin for a lamb. This will be the monthly burnt offering, month after month, every month of the year.

¹⁵ In addition to the perpetual burnt offering, a goat will be offered to Yahweh, as a sacrifice for sin, with its accompanying libation.

¹⁶ “The fourteenth day of the first month is the Passover of Yahweh,

¹⁷ and the fifteenth day of this month is a feast day. For seven days unleavened bread will be eaten.

¹⁸ On the first day there will be a sacred assembly; you will do no heavy work.

¹⁹ As food burnt as a burnt offering you will offer Yahweh two young bulls, a ram and seven yearling lambs, without blemish.

²⁰ The accompanying cereal offering of fine flour mixed with oil will be three-tenths of an ephah for a bull, two-tenths for a ram,

²¹ and one-tenth for each of the seven lambs.

²² There will also be a goat as a sacrifice for sin, for performing the rite of expiation for you.

²³ You will offer these in addition to the morning burnt offering, which is a perpetual burnt offering.

²⁴ You will do this every day for seven days. It is sustenance, food burnt as a smell pleasing to Yahweh, to be offered in addition to the perpetual burnt offering and its accompanying libation.

²⁵ On the seventh day you will hold a sacred assembly; you will do no heavy work.

²⁶ “On the day of the first-fruits, when you make your offering of new fruits to Yahweh at your feast of Weeks, you will hold a sacred assembly; you will do no heavy work.

²⁷ As a burnt offering as a smell pleasing to Yahweh, you will offer two young bulls, one ram and seven yearling lambs.

²⁸ The accompanying cereal offering of fine flour mixed with oil will be three-tenths of an ephah for each bull, two-tenths for the ram,

²⁹ and one-tenth for each of the seven lambs.

³⁰ There will also be a goat as a sacrifice for sin, for performing the rite of expiation for you.

³¹ You will offer these in addition to the perpetual burnt offering and its accompanying cereal offering and libations.” ‘
