Numbers 15:2-12
2“Speak to the Israelites and tell them: After you enter the land that I am giving you as a home 3and you present a food offering to the LORD from the herd or flock to produce a pleasing aroma to the LORD—either a burnt offering or a sacrifice, for a special vow or freewill offering or appointed feast— 4then the one presenting his offering to the LORD shall also present a grain offering of a tenth of an ephah of fine flour1 mixed with a quarter hin of olive oil.2 5With the burnt offering or sacrifice of each lamb, you are to prepare a quarter hin of wine as a drink offering.
6With a ram you are to prepare a grain offering of two-tenths of an ephah3 of fine flour mixed with a third of a hin of olive oil,4 7and a third of a hin of wine as a drink offering, a pleasing aroma to the LORD.
8When you prepare a young bull as a burnt offering or sacrifice to fulfill a vow or as a peace offering to the LORD, 9present with the bull a grain offering of three-tenths of an ephah of fine flour5 mixed with half a hin of olive oil.6 10Also present half a hin of wine as a drink offering. It is a food offering, a pleasing aroma to the LORD. 11This is to be done for each bull, ram, lamb, or goat. 12This is how you must prepare each one, no matter how many.
