Numbers 28

Numbers 28:1 Yahveh spoke to Moses, and this is what he said,

Numbers 28:2 “Command the people of Israel and say to them, ‘My offering, my food for my fire offerings, my pacifying aroma, you will be careful to offer to me at its appointed time.’

Numbers 28:3 And you will say to them, This is the fire offering that you will offer to Yahveh: two perfect male lambs a year old, day by day, as a regular offering.

Numbers 28:4 The one lamb you will offer in the morning, and the other lamb you will offer at twilight;

Numbers 28:5 also a tenth of an ephah of fine flour for a tribute offering, mixed with a quarter of a hin of beaten oil.

Numbers 28:6 It is a regular ascending offering, which was ordained at Mount Sinai for a pacifying aroma, a fire offering to Yahveh.

Numbers 28:7 Its drink offering will be a quarter of a hin for each lamb. In the Holy Place, you will pour out a drink offering of strong drink to Yahveh.

Numbers 28:8 The other lamb you will offer at twilight. Like the tribute offering of the morning, and like its drink offering, you will offer it as a fire offering, with a pacifying aroma to Yahveh.

Numbers 28:9 “On the Sabbath day, two perfect male lambs a year old, and two-tenths of an ephah of fine flour for a tribute offering, mixed with oil, and its drink offering:

Numbers 28:10 this is the ascending offering of every Sabbath, besides the regular ascending offering and its drink offering.

Numbers 28:11 “At the beginnings of your months, you will offer an ascending offering to Yahveh: two bulls from the herd, one ram, seven male lambs a year old — all perfect;

Numbers 28:12 also three-tenths of an ephah of fine flour for a tribute offering, mixed with oil, for each bull, and two-tenths of fine flour for a tribute offering, mixed with oil, for the one ram;

Numbers 28:13 and a tenth of fine flour mixed with oil as a tribute offering for every lamb; for an ascending offering with a pacifying aroma, a fire offering to Yahveh.

Numbers 28:14 Their drink offerings will be half a hin of wine for a bull, a third of a hin for a ram, and a quarter of a hin for a lamb. This is the ascending offering of each month throughout the months of the year.

Numbers 28:15 Also one male goat for a failure offering to Yahveh; it will be offered besides the regular ascending offering and its drink offering.

Numbers 28:16 “On the fourteenth day of the first month is Yahveh’s Passover,

Numbers 28:17 and on the fifteenth day of this month is a feast. Seven days will unleavened bread be eaten.

Numbers 28:18 On the first day there will be a sacred convention. You will not do any ordinary work,

Numbers 28:19 but offer a fire offering, an ascending offering to Yahveh: two bulls from the herd, one ram, and seven male lambs a year old; see that they are perfect;

Numbers 28:20 also their tribute offering of fine flour mixed with oil; three-tenths of an ephah will you offer for a bull, and two-tenths for a ram;

Numbers 28:21 a tenth will you offer for each of the seven lambs;

Numbers 28:22 also one male goat for a failure offering, to provide reconciliation for you.

Numbers 28:23 You will offer these besides the ascending offering of the morning, which is for a regular ascending offering.

Numbers 28:24 In the same way you will offer daily, for seven days, the food of a fire offering, with a pacifying aroma to Yahveh. It will be offered besides the regular ascending offering and its drink offering.

Numbers 28:25 And on the seventh day, you will have a sacred convention. You will not do any ordinary work.

Numbers 28:26 “On the day of the firstfruits, when you offer a tribute offering of new grain to Yahveh at your Feast of Weeks, you will have a sacred convention. You will not do any ordinary work,

Numbers 28:27 but offer an ascending offering, with a pacifying aroma to Yahveh: two bulls from the herd, one ram, seven male lambs a year old;

Numbers 28:28 also their tribute offering of fine flour mixed with oil, three-tenths of an ephah for each bull, two-tenths for one ram,

Numbers 28:29 a tenth for each of the seven lambs;

Numbers 28:30 with one male goat, to provide reconciliation for you.

Numbers 28:31 Besides the regular ascending offering and its tribute offering, you will offer them and their drink offering. See that they are perfect.

Numbers 28 quotes:

“As the people are now approaching Canaan, they are once more numbered; the sacrifices and burnt offerings again enjoined; and the several services for every day, the Sabbath day, and the new moons, and the day of Passover, particularly again appointed.”

“In this and the next chapter the laws for the ordering of the worship of the people in their sacrifices and on their great festivals, most of which had been given already, are completed and presented in regular order. During the wanderings in the wilderness the Israelites could not have carried out fully so elaborate a system of ceremonial worship. And now, with their settlement in Canaan so near, the whole law for their sacrificial worship is appropriately promulgated.”

“In these sacrifices the whole of time, measured out by the alternation of light and darkness, was acknowledged to be God’s ; through the priesthood the nation declared His right to each day, confessed obligation to Him for the gift of it.”
