Num 28:1–29:39:

28:1 The daily offerings

(Exo. 29:38-46)

28 Then Yahweh told Mosheh (Moses), 2 “Give the Israelis these instructions: Ensure that you present to me the offerings and food for offerings to be burnt at the proper time. 3 For the daily burnt offering, present two one-year-old, male lambs that have no defects. 4 One of those lambs must be offered in the morning, and the other in late afternoon, 5 each offered along with a kilogram of fine flour mixed with a litre of olive oil. 6 That’s the regular burnt offering done like the first one at Mt. Sinay—the soothing aroma from the fire will be pleasing to Yahweh. 7 The drink offering must also be one litre for each lamb. That strong drink must be poured out in the sacred area as an offering to Yahweh. 8 At the end of the afternoon, offer the second lamb with the same-sized offerings of flour and wine as in the morning. When they’re burnt, the aroma will be pleasing to Yahweh.

28:9 The Rest Day offerings

9 “On the Rest Day, it must be two one-year-old, male lambs with no defects, along with two kilograms of fine flour mixed with oil, as well as the drink offering. 10 That will be burnt every Rest Day, in addition to the regular daily burnt offering and its drink offering.

28:11 The new month offerings

11 “On the first day of each month, you all must bring Yahweh a burnt offering of two young bulls, one ram, and seven one-year-old, male lambs with no defects. 12 Each bull must be offered with three kilograms of fine flour mixed with oil, each ram with two kilograms, 13 and each lamb with one kilogram. All of that will be a burnt offering with an aroma that will be pleasing to Yahweh. 14 Their respective drink offerings will be two litres of wine with the bull, 1.3 litres with the ram, and one litre with each lamb. That will be the burnt offering for the start of each new month throughout the year. 15 ⇔In addition to those burnt offerings and drink offerings, a male goat must also be presented to Yahweh as a sin offering.

28:16 The ‘pass-over’ offerings

(Lev. 23:5-14)

16 “Yahweh’s ‘passover’ ceremony will start on the 14th of the first month (Nisan = March/April) each year.[ref] 17 The 15th will be the start of the celebration—all your bread must be made without any rising agent.[ref] 18 That first day, there’s to be a sacred assembly. No regular work may be done that day. 19 You all must offer two young bulls, one ram, and seven one-year-old lambs with no defects to be burnt on the fire. 20 Their associated grain offerings must be three kilograms of fine flour mixed with olive for the bull, two kilograms for the ram, 21 and one kilogram for each of the seven lambs. 22 Also, bring one male goat as a sin offering to make yourselves right with God. 23 Those offerings must be in addition to the regular morning offerings 24 and must be offered for each of the seven days. The aroma of those burnt offerings will be pleasing to Yahweh, along with the regular burnt offering and its drink offering. 25 On the seventh day, there’s to be another sacred assembly. No regular work may be done that day.

28:26 Harvest festival offerings

(Lev. 23:15-22)

26 “On the firstfruits day of the harvest festival, when you all present an offering of fresh grain to Yahweh, there’s to be a sacred assembly. No regular work may be done that day.[ref] 27 You all must present a burnt offering that’s a pleasing aroma for Yahweh, presenting two young bulls, one ram, and seven one-year-old male lambs. 28 Their associated grain offerings will be three kilograms of fine flour mixed with olive oil for each bull, two kilograms for the ram, 29 and one kilogram for each of the lambs. 30 Also for your sins, sacrifice one male goat to make yourselves right with God. 31 Those offerings along with their drink offerings must be offered in addition to the regular burnt offering and drink offerings. Ensure that they have no defects.

29:1 The trumpeting celebration

(Lev. 23:23-25)

29 “On the first day of the seventh month (Tishrei = September/October) each year, there’s to be a sacred assembly. No regular work may be done that day—it’ll be a day of blowing horns. 2 You all must present a young bull, a ram, and seven one-year-old lambs, all with no defects as a burnt offering to be a pleasing aroma for Yahweh. 3 Their associated grain offering will be three kilograms of fine flour mixed with olive oil with the bull, two kilograms with the ram, 4 and one kilogram for each of the seven lambs. 5 Also for your sins, sacrifice one male goat to make yourselves right with God. 6 Those are in addition to the monthly and regular daily burnt offerings with their associated grain offerings and drink offerings. The aroma of those burnt offerings will be pleasing to Yahweh.

29:7 The sacrifice for forgiveness

(Lev. 23:26-32)

7 “Each year on the 10th of this seventh month (Tishrei = September/October), there’s to be a sacred assembly. Don’t eat any food or do any regular work on that day.[ref] 8 You all must present a young bull, a ram, and seven one-year-old male lambs as a burnt offering that will be a pleasing aroma for Yahweh. Ensure that they have no defects. 9 Their associated grain offerings will be three kilograms of fine flour mixed with olive oil for the bull, two kilograms for the ram, 10 and one kilogram for each of the seven lambs. 11 Also for your sins, sacrifice one male goat, in addition to the one to make yourselves right with God and the regular burnt offerings with their associated grain and drink offerings.

29:12 Offerings during the celebration in shelters

(Lev. 23:33-44)

12 “On the 15th of that seventh month, there’s to be another sacred assembly. No regular work may be done that day which will begin seven days of celebration.[ref] 13 “You all must present thirteen young bulls, two rams, fourteen one-year-old male lambs as a burnt offering that will be a pleasing aroma for Yahweh. Ensure that they have no defects. 14 Their associated grain offerings will be three kilograms of fine flour mixed with olive oil for each bull, two kilograms for each ram, 15 and one kilogram for each of the seven lambs. 16 Also for your sins, sacrifice one male goat to make yourselves right with God, in addition to the regular burnt offerings with their associated grain and drink offerings.

12 “All the best of the fresh oil, and the new wine and grain that they give to Yahweh, I give to you. 13 The first portions of all their harvests that they bring to Yahweh, belong to you—everyone in your families who’s ‘clean’ may eat them.

14 “Everything throughout Yisrael (Israel) that’s dedicated to Yahweh will belong to you.[ref]

15 “Every firstborn male baby, as well as animals, will belong to Yahweh, however you must buy back the human babies as well as the firstborns from the ‘unclean’ livestock. 16 The babies must be bought back when they’re one month old, paying five silver coins of the proper weight according to the scales at the sacred tent. 17 However, the firstborn cows or sheep or goats can’t be bought back. They are sacred—you must sprinkle their blood on the altar and burn their fat as an offering that’s a soothing aroma for Yahweh. 18 Their meat will belong to you, just like the breast or the right thigh of the wave offerings are yours. 19 All sacred donations by the Israelis, I’ve permanently given to you and your children to eat—it’s an irrevocable agreement with Yahweh for you and your future ancestors.”

18:20 The Levites’ share

20 Yahweh also told Aharon (Aaron), “You priests won’t inherit any land or property—I am your share and your inheritance among the Israelis.

21 For an inheritance for the Levites, I’ve given them all the tenths given by the Israelis as their inheritance in exchange for their service at the sacred tent.
