- Chapter 28 -

(Exodus 29:38–44)

And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying,

“Command the sons of Israel, and you have said to them: My offering, My bread for My fire-offerings, My refreshing fragrance, you take heed to bring near to Me in its appointed time.

And you have said to them: This [is] the fire-offering which you bring near to YHWH: two lambs, sons of a year, perfect ones, daily, [for] a continual burnt-offering;

you prepare the first lamb in the morning, and you prepare the second lamb between the evenings;

and a tenth of the ephah of flour for a present mixed with a fourth of the hin of beaten oil;

[it is] a continual burnt-offering, which was made in Mount Sinai for refreshing fragrance, [for] a fire-offering to YHWH.

And its drink-offering [is] a fourth of the hin for one lamb; pour out a drink-offering of strong drink to YHWH in the holy place.

And you prepare the second lamb between the evenings; as the present of the morning and as its drink-offering, you prepare [it as] a fire-offering of refreshing fragrance to YHWH.

The Sabbath Offerings

And on the Sabbath day, two lambs, sons of a year, perfect ones, and two-tenth parts of flour, a present mixed with oil, and its drink-offering—

the burnt-offering of the Sabbath in its Sabbath, besides the continual burnt-offering and its drink-offering.

The Monthly Offerings

And in the beginnings of your months you bring a burnt-offering near to YHWH: two bullocks, sons of the herd, and one ram, seven lambs, sons of a year, perfect ones;

and three-tenth parts of flour, a present mixed with oil, for one bullock, and two-tenth parts of flour, a present mixed with oil, for one ram;

and a tenth—a tenth part of flour, a present mixed with oil, for one lamb, [for] a burnt-offering, a refreshing fragrance, a fire-offering to YHWH;

and their drink-offerings are a half of the hin for a bullock, and a third of the hin for a ram, and a fourth of the hin for a lamb, of wine; this [is] the burnt-offering of every month for the months of the year.

And one kid of the goats is prepared for a sin-offering to YHWH, besides the continual burnt-offering and its drink-offering.

Passover and the Feast of Unleavened Bread

(Exodus 12:14–28; Leviticus 23:4–8; Deuteronomy 16:1–8)

And in the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month, [is] the Passover to YHWH;

and in the fifteenth day of this month [is] a festival; [for] seven days unleavened bread is eaten.

In the first day [is] a holy convocation; you do no servile work;

and you have brought a fire-offering near, a burnt-offering to YHWH: two bullocks, sons of the herd, and one ram, and seven lambs, sons of a year, they are perfect ones for you;

and their present of flour mixed with oil—you prepare three-tenth parts for a bullock and two-tenth parts for a ram;

you prepare a tenth—a tenth part for one lamb, for the seven lambs,

and one goat [for] a sin-offering, to make atonement for you.

Apart from the burnt-offering of the morning, which [is] for the continual burnt-offering, you prepare these;

like these you prepare bread of a fire-offering daily [for] seven days, a refreshing fragrance to YHWH; it is prepared besides the continual burnt-offering and its drink-offering.

And on the seventh day you have a holy convocation; you do no servile work.

The Feast of Weeks

(Deuteronomy 16:9–12)

And on the day of the first-fruits, in your bringing a new present near to YHWH, in your weeks, you have a holy convocation; you do no servile work.

And you have brought a burnt-offering near for refreshing fragrance to YHWH: two bullocks, sons of the herd, one ram, seven lambs, sons of a year,

and their present, flour mixed with oil, three-tenth parts for one bullock, two-tenth parts for one ram,

a tenth—a tenth part for one lamb, for the seven lambs;

one kid of the goats to make atonement for you;

apart from the continual burnt-offering and its present, you prepare [them] and their drink-offerings; they are perfect ones for you.”

(Exodus 29:38–44)

The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

“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.’

You shall tell them, ‘This is the offering made by fire which you shall offer to the LORD: male lambs a year old without defect, two day by day, for a continual burnt offering.

You shall offer the one lamb in the morning, and you shall offer the other lamb at evening,

with one tenth of an ephah(a) of fine flour for a meal offering, mixed with the fourth part of a hin

(b)

of beaten oil.

It is a continual burnt offering which was ordained in Mount Sinai for a pleasant aroma, an offering made by fire to the LORD.

Its drink offering shall be the fourth part of a hin

(c)

for each lamb. You shall pour out a drink offering of strong drink to the LORD in the holy place.

The 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 the LORD.

The Sabbath Offerings

“‘On the Sabbath day, you shall offer two male lambs a year old without defect, and two tenths of an ephah(d) of fine flour for a meal offering mixed with oil, and its drink offering:

this is the burnt offering of every Sabbath, in addition to the continual burnt offering and its drink offering.

The Monthly Offerings

“‘In the beginnings of your months, you shall offer a burnt offering to the LORD: two young bulls, one ram, seven male lambs a year old without defect,

and three tenths of an ephah(e) 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;

and 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 the LORD.

Their 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.

Also, one male goat for a sin offering to the LORD shall be offered in addition to the continual burnt offering and its drink offering.

Passover and the Feast of Unleavened Bread

(Exodus 12:14–28; Leviticus 23:4–8; Deuteronomy 16:1–8)

“‘In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month, is the LORD’s Passover.

On the fifteenth day of this month shall be a feast. Unleavened bread shall be eaten for seven days.

In the first day shall be a holy convocation. You shall do no regular work,

but you shall offer an offering made by fire, a burnt offering to the LORD: two young bulls, one ram, and seven male lambs a year old. They shall be without defect,

with their meal offering, fine flour mixed with oil. You shall offer three tenths for a bull, and two tenths for the ram.

You shall offer one tenth for every lamb of the seven lambs;

and one male goat for a sin offering, to make atonement for you.

You shall offer these in addition to the burnt offering of the morning, which is for a continual burnt offering.

In this way you shall offer daily, for seven days, the food of the offering made by fire, of a pleasant aroma to the LORD. It shall be offered in addition to the continual burnt offering and its drink offering.

On the seventh day you shall have a holy convocation. You shall do no regular work.

The Feast of Weeks

(Deuteronomy 16:9–12)

“‘Also in the day of the first fruits, when you offer a new meal offering to the LORD in your feast of weeks, you shall have a holy convocation. You shall do no regular work;

but you shall offer a burnt offering for a pleasant aroma to the LORD: two young bulls, one ram, seven male lambs a year old;

and their meal offering, fine flour mixed with oil, three tenths for each bull, two tenths for the one ram,

one tenth for every lamb of the seven lambs;

and one male goat, to make atonement for you.

Besides the continual burnt offering and its meal offering, you shall offer them and their drink offerings. See that they are without defect.
