Laws about Offerings

15 The Lord instructed Moses, ‘Speak to the Israelites and tell them: When you enter the land I am giving you to settle in,(A) and you make a food offering(B) to the Lord from the herd or flock – either a burnt offering or a sacrifice, to fulfil a vow,(C) or as a freewill offering, or at your appointed festivals – to produce a pleasing aroma for the Lord,(D) the one presenting his offering to the Lord is also to present a grain offering of two litres[a] of fine flour mixed with a litre[b] of oil. Prepare a litre of wine as a drink offering(E) with the burnt offering or sacrifice of each lamb.

‘If you prepare a grain offering with a ram, it is to be four litres[c] of fine flour mixed with 1.3 litres[d] of oil.(F) Also present 1.3 litres of wine for a drink offering as a pleasing aroma to the Lord.

‘If you prepare a young bull as a burnt offering or as a sacrifice, to fulfil a vow, or as a fellowship offering to the Lord, a grain offering of six litres[e] of fine flour mixed with two litres[f] of oil is to be presented with the bull.(G) 10 Also present two litres of wine as a drink offering. It is a food offering, a pleasing aroma to the Lord. 11 This is to be done for each ox, ram, lamb, or goat. 12 This is how you are to prepare each of them, no matter how many.
