1. The Lord told Moses
2. to give the Israelites the following laws about offering sacrifices:
3. Bulls or rams or goats are the animals that you may burn on the altar as sacrifices to please me. You may also offer sacrifices voluntarily or because you made a promise, or because they are part of your regular religious ceremonies. The smell of the smoke from these sacrifices is pleasing to me.
4-5. If you sacrifice a young ram or goat, you must also offer a kilogramme of your finest flour mixed with a litre of olive oil as a grain sacrifice. A litre of wine must also be poured on the altar.
6-7. And if the animal is a full-grown ram, you must offer two kilogrammes of flour mixed with one and a half litres of olive oil. One and a half litres of wine must also be poured on the altar. The smell of this smoke is pleasing to me.
8. If a bull is offered as a sacrifice to please me or to ask my blessing,
9. you must offer three kilogrammes of flour mixed with two litres of olive oil.
10. Two litres of wine must also be poured on the altar. The smell of this smoke is pleasing to me.
11-13. If you are a native Israelite, you must obey these rules each time you offer a bull, a ram, or a goat as a sacrifice.
