Numbers 15:1-21

Numbers 15:1-21 CSB

The Lord instructed Moses, “Speak to the Israelites and tell them: When you enter the land I am giving you to settle in,  and you make a food offering  to the Lord from the herd or flock — either a burnt offering or a sacrifice, to fulfill a vow,  or as a freewill offering, or at your appointed festivals — to produce a pleasing aroma for the Lord,  the one presenting his offering to the Lord is also to present a grain offering of two quarts  of fine flour mixed with a quart  of oil. Prepare a quart of wine as a drink offering  with the burnt offering or sacrifice of each lamb. “If you prepare a grain offering with a ram, it is to be four quarts  of fine flour mixed with a third of a gallon  of oil.  Also present a third of a gallon of wine for a drink offering as a pleasing aroma to the Lord. “If you prepare a young bull as a burnt offering or as a sacrifice, to fulfill a vow, or as a fellowship offering to the Lord, a grain offering of six quarts  of fine flour mixed with two quarts  of oil is to be presented with the bull.  Also present two quarts of wine as a drink offering. It is a food offering, a pleasing aroma to the Lord. This is to be done for each ox, ram, lamb, or goat. This is how you are to prepare each of them, no matter how many. “Every Israelite is to prepare these things in this way when he presents a food offering as a pleasing aroma to the Lord. When an alien resides with you or someone else is among you and wants to prepare a food offering as a pleasing aroma to the Lord, he is to do exactly as you do throughout your generations. The assembly is to have the same statute for both you and the resident alien as a permanent statute throughout your generations.  You and the alien will be alike before the Lord. The same law and the same ordinance will apply to both you and the alien who resides with you.”  The Lord instructed Moses, “Speak to the Israelites and tell them: After you enter the land where I am bringing you, you are to offer a contribution to the Lord when you eat from the food of the land. You are to offer a loaf from your first batch of dough  as a contribution; offer it just like a contribution from the threshing floor.  Throughout your generations, you are to give the Lord a contribution from the first batch of your dough.
