Numbers 15:2-16

2“Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them: ‘When you have come into the land you are to inhabit, which I am giving to you,

3and you make an offering by fire to the Lord, a burnt offering or a sacrifice, to fulfill a vow or as a freewill offering or in your appointed feasts, to make a sweet aroma to the Lord, from the herd or the flock,

4then he who presents his offering to the Lord shall bring a grain offering of one-tenth of an ephah of fine flour mixed with one-fourth of a hin of oil;

5and one-fourth of a hin of wine as a drink offering you shall prepare with the burnt offering or the sacrifice, for each lamb.

6Or for a ram you shall prepare as a grain offering two-tenths of an ephah of fine flour mixed with one-third of a hin of oil;

7and as a drink offering you shall offer one-third of a hin of wine as a sweet aroma to the Lord.

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

9then shall be offered with the young bull a grain offering of three-tenths of an ephah of fine flour mixed with half a hin of oil;

10and you shall bring as the drink offering half a hin of wine as an offering made by fire, a sweet aroma to the Lord.

11‘Thus it shall be done for each young bull, for each ram, or for each lamb or young goat.

12According to the number that you prepare, so you shall do with everyone according to their number.

13All who are native-born shall do these things in this manner, in presenting an offering made by fire, a sweet aroma to the Lord.

14And if a stranger dwells with you, or whoever is among you throughout your generations, and would present an offering made by fire, a sweet aroma to the Lord, just as you do, so shall he do.

15One ordinance shall be for you of the assembly and for the stranger who dwells with you, an ordinance forever throughout your generations; as you are, so shall the stranger be before the Lord.

16One law and one custom shall be for you and for the stranger who dwells with you.’ ”
