Laws for Grain and Drink Offerings

1

ADONAI said to Moshe,

2

"Tell the people of Isra'el, 'When you have come into the land where you are going to live, which I am giving to you,

3

and want to make an offering by fire to ADONAI - a burnt offering or sacrifice to fulfill a special vow, or to be a voluntary offering, or at your designated times, to make a fragrant aroma for ADONAI - then, whether it is comes from the herd or from the flock,

4

the person bringing the offering is to present ADONAI with a grain offering consisting of two quarts of fine flour mixed with one quart of olive oil,

5

and one quart of wine for the drink offering. This is what you are to prepare with the burnt offering or for each lamb sacrificed.

6

"'For a ram, prepare one gallon of fine flour mixed with one-and-one-third quarts of olive oil;

7

while for the drink offering, you are to present one-and-one-third quarts of wine as a fragrant aroma for ADONAI.

8

"'When you prepare a bull as a burnt offering, as a sacrifice to fulfill a special vow or as peace offerings for ADONAI,

9

there is to be presented with the bull a grain offering of one-and-a-half gallons of fine flour mixed with two quarts of olive oil.

10

For the drink offering, present two quarts of wine for an offering made by fire, a fragant aroma for ADONAI.

11

"'Do it this way for each bull, ram, male lamb or kid.

12

For as many animals as you prepare, do this for each one, regardless of how many animals there are.

13

"'Every citizen is to do these things in this way when presenting an offering made by fire as a fragrant aroma for ADONAI.

14

If a foreigner stays with you - or whoever may be with you, through all your generations - and he wants to bring an offering made by fire as a fragrant aroma for ADONAI, he is to do the same as you.

15

For this community there will be the same law for you as for the foreigner living with you; this is a permanent regulation through all your generations; the foreigner is to be treated the same way before ADONAI as yourselves.

16

The same Torah and standard of judgment will apply to both you and the foreigner living with you.'"
