1. The Lord said to Moses,

2. “Give this command to the Israelites. Tell them: ‘Bring me food offerings made by fire. The smell is pleasing to me. Be sure to bring them at the right time.’

3. Say to them: ‘These are the offerings you must bring to the Lord. Bring two year-old lambs as a burnt offering each day. They must have nothing wrong with them.

4. Offer one lamb in the morning and the other lamb at twilight.

5. Also bring a grain offering of two quarts of fine flour. It must be mixed with one quart of oil from pressed olives.

6. This is the daily burnt offering which began at Mount Sinai. The smell is pleasing to the Lord.

7. Offer one quart of wine with each lamb as a drink offering. Pour it out to the Lord at the Holy Place.

8. Offer the second lamb at twilight. As in the morning, also give a grain offering and a drink offering. This offering is made by fire. Its smell is pleasing to the Lord.

9. “‘On the Sabbath day you must give two year-old lambs. They must have nothing wrong with them. Also give a drink offering and a grain offering. The grain offering must be four quarts of fine flour mixed with olive oil.

10. This is the burnt offering for the Sabbath. It is in addition to the daily burnt offering and drink offering.

11. “‘On the first day of each month bring a burnt offering to the Lord. This will be two young bulls, one male sheep and seven male lambs a year old. They all must have nothing wrong with them.

12. Give a grain offering with each bull. It must be six quarts of fine flour mixed with olive oil. Also give a grain offering with the male sheep. It must be four quarts of fine flour mixed with olive oil.

13. Also give a grain offering with each lamb. It must be two quarts of fine flour mixed with olive oil. This is a burnt offering. And its smell is pleasing to the Lord.

14. The drink offering with each bull will be two quarts of wine. With the male sheep it will be one and one-half quarts. And with each lamb it will be one quart of wine. This is the burnt offering that must be offered each month of the year.
