14. a regular amount of oil, one-tenth of a bath for each kor (each kor contains ten baths);
15. and one sheep from the flock for every two hundred from Israel’s pastureland, for grain offerings, for entirely burned offerings, and for well-being sacrifices to make reconciliation for them. This is what the Lord God says.

17. The prince will be responsible for the entirely burned offerings, grain offerings, and drink offerings for the festivals, new moons, and sabbaths, all the appointed festivals of the house of Israel.

22. On that day, the prince will provide a young bull as the purification offering for himself and for the people of the land.
