God’s Word Translation
Numbers 15:2-16
2“Speak to the Israelites and tell them: Once you’re settled in the land I’m giving you,
3you may bring offerings by fire to the Lord. They may be burnt offerings or any other kind of sacrifice. They may be offered to fulfill a vow, as a freewill offering, or as one of your festival offerings. They may be cattle, sheep, or goats—offerings that are a soothing aroma to the Lord.
4Whoever brings the offering must also give the Lord a grain offering of eight cups of flour mixed with one quart of olive oil.
5With each sheep or goat for the burnt offering or any other sacrifice, also give an offering of one quart of wine.
6“With a ram, give a grain offering of 16 cups of flour mixed with 1¼ quarts of oil
7and an offering of 1¼ quarts of wine. Offer them as a soothing aroma to the Lord.
8“Suppose you sacrifice a young bull as a burnt offering to the Lord or make any other kind of sacrifice—to keep a vow or as a fellowship offering.
9Offer with the young bull a grain offering of 24 cups of flour mixed with two quarts of olive oil.
10Also give an offering of two quarts of wine. It is an offering by fire, a soothing aroma to the Lord.
11Do this for each bull, each ram, and each sheep or goat.
12Do it for each animal, however many you sacrifice.
13All native-born Israelites must do it this way when they bring an offering by fire, a soothing aroma to the Lord.
14“Suppose foreigners are visiting you or living among you in future generations. If they bring an offering by fire, a soothing aroma to the Lord, they must do as you do.
15There is one law for the whole assembly: for you and foreigners who are living with you. It is a permanent law for future generations. As far as the Lord is concerned, you and foreigners are the same.
16The instructions and rules are the same for you as well as foreigners who are living with you.”
