Numbers 15:2-16

2“1Speak to the sons of Israel and say to them, ‘When you enter the land 2where you are going to live, which I am giving you, 3and you make 3an offering by fire to the Lord, a burnt offering or a sacrifice to 45fulfill a special vow, or as a 6voluntary offering or at your 7appointed times, to make a 8soothing aroma to the Lord from the herd or from the flock, 4then 9the one who presents his offering shall present to the Lord a grain offering of a tenth of an 10ephah of fine flour mixed with a fourth of a 11hin of oil, 5and you shall prepare wine for the drink offering, a fourth of a hin, with the burnt offering or for the sacrifice, for 12each lamb. 6Or for a ram you shall prepare as a grain offering two-tenths of an ephah of fine flour mixed with a third of a hin of oil; 7and for the drink offering you shall offer a third of a hin of wine as a soothing aroma to the Lord. 8And when you prepare 13a bull as a burnt offering or a sacrifice, to 14fulfill a special vow, or for peace offerings to the Lord, 9then you shall offer with the bull a grain offering of three-tenths of an ephah of fine flour mixed with half a hin of oil; 10and you shall offer as the drink offering half a hin of wine as an offering by fire, as a soothing aroma to the Lord.

11‘This is how it shall be done for each ox, or for each ram, or for each of the male lambs, or of the goats. 12According to the number that you prepare, so you shall do for each one according to their number. 13Everyone who is a native shall do these things in this way, in presenting an offering by fire as a soothing aroma to the Lord. 14Now if a stranger resides among you, or one who may be among you throughout your generations, and he wants to make an offering by fire, as a soothing aroma to the Lord, just as you do so shall he do. 15As for the assembly, there shall be 15one statute for you and for the stranger who resides among you, a permanent statute throughout your generations; as you are, so shall the stranger be before the Lord. 16There is to be 16one law and one ordinance for you and for the stranger who resides with you.’”
