Berean Standard Bible
Numbers 15:3-16
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.
13Everyone who is native-born shall prepare these things in this way when he presents a food offering as a pleasing aroma to the LORD. 14And for the generations to come, if a foreigner residing with you or someone else among you wants to prepare a food offering as a pleasing aroma to the LORD, he is to do exactly as you do. 15The assembly is to have the same statute both for you and for the foreign resident; it is a permanent statute for the generations to come. You and the foreigner shall be the same before the LORD. 16The same law and the same ordinance will apply both to you and to the foreigner residing with you.”
