Numbers 15:2-12

2“Speak to the Israelites and tell them, ‘When you enter the land where you are to live, which I am giving you,

3and you make an offering by fire to the Lord from the herd or from the flock (whether a burnt offering or a sacrifice for discharging a vow or as a freewill offering or in your solemn feasts) to create a pleasing aroma to the Lord,

4then the one who presents his offering to the Lord must bring a grain offering of one-tenth of an ephah of finely ground flour mixed with one fourth of a hin of olive oil.

5You must also prepare one-fourth of a hin of wine for a drink offering with the burnt offering or the sacrifice for each lamb.

6Or for a ram, you must prepare as a grain offering two-tenths of an ephah of finely ground flour mixed with one-third of a hin of olive oil,

7and for a drink offering you must offer one-third of a hin of wine as a pleasing aroma to the Lord.

8And when you prepare a young bull as a burnt offering or a sacrifice for discharging a vow or as a peace offering to the Lord,

9then a grain offering of three-tenths of an ephah of finely ground flour mixed with half a hin of olive oil must be presented with the young bull,

10and you must present as the drink offering half a hin of wine with the fire offering as a pleasing aroma to the Lord.

11This is what is to be done for each ox, or each ram, or each of the male lambs or the goats.

12You must do so for each one according to the number that you prepare.
