Numbers 28:1-8

Contemporary English Version

Regular Daily Sacrifices

(Exodus 29.38-43; Leviticus 6.8-13)

28 The Lord told Moses ² to say to the people of Israel:

Offer sacrifices to me at the appointed times of worship, so that I will smell the smoke and be pleased.

³ Each day offer two rams a year old as sacrifices to please me.^[a] The animals must have nothing wrong with them; ⁴ one will be sacrificed in the morning, and the other in the evening. ⁵ Along with each of them, one kilogram of your finest flour mixed with a liter of olive oil must be offered as a grain sacrifice. ⁶ This sacrifice to please me was first offered at Mount Sinai. ⁷ Finally, along with each of these two sacrifices, a liter of wine must be poured on the altar as a drink offering. ⁸ The second ram will be sacrificed that evening, along with the other offerings, just like the one sacrificed that morning. The smell of the smoke from these sacrifices will please me.
