God Commands Daily Offerings

1 The Lord told Moses.

2 “Tell the Israelites: Be careful to bring My offerings at the right time, My food offerings, My pleasing aroma.”

3 “This is the offering you must present to Me every day: Two one-year-old male lambs without defects, as a daily burnt offering.”

4 “Offer one lamb in the morning and the other in the evening.”

5 “Each lamb must be offered with a grain offering, four cups of fine flour mixed with a quart of pressed olive oil.”

6 “This is the regular burnt offering that began at Mount Sinai, a pleasing aroma to the Lord.”

7 “With each lamb, bring a drink offering, one quart of wine. Pour it out in the holy place as an offering to Me.”

8 “Offer the second lamb in the evening, along with the same grain and drink offering as in the morning. It is a sweet smell to Me.”

The Sabbath Offerings

9 “On the Sabbath day, offer two one-year-old male lambs without defects, along with a grain offering of eight cups of flour mixed with oil and its drink offering.”

10 “This is the Sabbath burnt offering, in addition to the daily burnt offering and its drink offering.”

The Monthly Offerings

11 “On the first day of every month, bring a burnt offering to Me: Two young bulls, one ram, and seven one-year-old male lambs, all without defects.”

12 “Each bull must have a grain offering, sixteen cups of fine flour mixed with oil.”

13 “For the ram, bring a grain offering of eight cups of fine flour mixed with oil.”

14 “For each lamb, bring a grain offering of four cups of fine flour mixed with oil, plus drink offerings of wine, two quarts for a bull, one and a half quarts for a ram, and one quart for a lamb. This must be done every month.”

15 “Also, bring one male goat as a sin offering to Me. This is in addition to the daily burnt offering and its drink offering.”
