Numbers 15:2-12

2‘Say to the Israelites, “You will go into the land that I am giving to you.

3When you are living there, you can sacrifice bulls, male sheep or goats to the Lord. You will burn them on the altar as a burnt offering. You may offer special sacrifices to the Lord when you have promised to do it. Or you may offer sacrifices because you choose to do it. Also, you will give sacrifices during your regular festivals. The smell of these sacrifices as they burn will please the Lord.

4The person who gives the gift to the Lord must also give a gift of flour. He must mix the flour with oil. It should be 1 kilogram of your best flour. Mix this flour with 1 litre of olive oil.

5You must also give 1 litre of wine for each lamb. You must give that as a drink offering with each burnt offering or sacrifice.

6If the animal is a male sheep, you must also offer 2 kilograms of flour. Mix this flour with 1.5 litres of olive oil.

7Also, you must pour 1.5 litres of wine on the altar as a drink offering. The smell of the smoke from this sacrifice will please the Lord.

8A person can give a young bull as a burnt offering. This may be a special sacrifice that he has promised to give to God. Or it may be a friendship offering to the Lord.

9Also, you must offer 3 kilograms of flour. Mix this flour with 2 litres of olive oil. Do that if the bull is a burnt offering, or a friendship offering. Do the same if you offer this sacrifice because of a promise.

10Also, you must pour 2 litres of wine on the altar as a drink offering. The smell of this smoke will please the Lord.

11You must do the same thing for each bull or for each male sheep. And you must do the same thing for each male lamb or for each young goat.

12You must do that for every animal that you offer as a gift to God.
