Numbers 28-30

Numbers 28

1Then the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

2"Command the Israelites and say to them, 'You shall be careful to present at its appointed time [during the year] My offering, My food for My offerings by fire as a sweet and soothing aroma to Me.'

3You shall say to the people, 'This is the offering by fire which you shall present to the LORD every day: two male lambs one year old without blemish as a continual burnt offering.

4You shall offer one lamb in the morning and you shall offer the other lamb at twilight,

5also a tenth of an ephah of finely-milled flour as a grain offering, mixed with a fourth of a hin of pressed oil.

6It is a continual burnt offering which was ordained on Mount Sinai as a sweet and soothing aroma, an offering by fire to the LORD.

7Its drink offering shall be a fourth of a hin for each lamb, in the holy place you shall pour out a strong drink offering to the LORD.

8The other lamb you shall offer at twilight; as the grain offering of the morning and as its drink offering, you shall offer it, an offering by fire, a sweet and soothing aroma to the LORD.

9'Then on the Sabbath day two male lambs one year old without blemish, and two-tenths [of an ephah] of fine flour mixed with oil as a grain offering, and its drink offering.

10This is the burnt offering of every Sabbath, in addition to the continual burnt offering and its drink offering.

11'Then at the beginning of [each of] your months you shall present a burnt offering to the LORD: two bulls, one ram, seven male lambs one year old without blemish;

12and three-tenths [of an ephah] of fine flour mixed with oil as a grain offering, for each bull; and two-tenths [of an ephah] of fine flour mixed with oil as a grain offering, for the one ram;

13and a tenth [of an ephah] of fine flour mixed with oil as a grain offering for each lamb, as a burnt offering of a sweet and soothing aroma, an offering by fire to the LORD.

14Their drink offerings shall be half a hin of wine for a bull, and a third of a hin for a ram, and a fourth of a hin for a lamb. This is the burnt offering of each month throughout the months of the year.

15And one male goat as a sin offering to the LORD; it shall be offered with its drink offering in addition to the continual burnt offering.

16'The Lord's Passover shall be on the fourteenth day of the first month [of each year].

17There shall be a feast on the fifteenth day of this month; unleavened bread shall be eaten for seven days.

18On the first day there shall be a holy [summoned] assembly; you shall do no laborious work that day.

19But you shall present an offering by fire, a burnt offering to the LORD: two bulls, one ram, and seven male lambs one year old, without blemish.

20For their grain offering you shall offer fine flour mixed with oil; three-tenths [of an ephah] for the bull, and two-tenths for the ram;

21you shall offer a tenth [of an ephah] for each of the seven male lambs;

22and one male goat as a sin offering to make atonement for you.

23You shall present these in addition to the burnt offering of the morning, which is for a continual burnt offering.

24In this way you shall present daily, for seven days, the food of the offering by fire, a sweet and soothing aroma to the LORD; it shall be presented with its drink offering in addition to the continual burnt offering.

25On the seventh day you shall have a holy [summoned] assembly; you shall do no laborious work.

26'Also on the day of the first fruits, when you offer a new grain offering to the LORD at your Feast of Weeks, you shall have a holy [summoned] assembly; you shall do no laborious work.

27You shall present the burnt offering as a sweet and soothing aroma to the LORD: two young bulls, one ram, seven male lambs one year old;

28and their grain offering of fine flour mixed with oil; three-tenths [of an ephah] for each bull, two-tenths for the one ram,

29a tenth for each of the seven male lambs,

30and one male goat to make atonement for you.

31In addition to the continual burnt offering and its grain offering, you shall present them with their drink offerings. They shall be without blemish.

Numbers 29

1'On the first day of the seventh month, you shall have a holy [summoned] assembly; you shall do no laborious work. It will be for you a day of blowing the trumpets (the shophar, ram's horn).

2You shall offer a burnt offering as a sweet and soothing aroma to the LORD: one bull, one ram, and seven male lambs one year old without blemish;

3also their grain offering, fine flour mixed with oil, three-tenths [of an ephah] for the bull, two-tenths for the ram,

4and one-tenth [of an ephah] for each of the seven lambs,

5and one male goat as a sin offering to make atonement for you.

6These are in addition to the burnt offering of the New Moon and its grain offering, and the continual burnt offering and its grain offering, and their drink offerings, according to the ordinance for them, as a sweet and soothing aroma, an offering by fire to the LORD.

14and their grain offering, fine flour mixed with oil, three-tenths [of an ephah] for each of the thirteen bulls, two-tenths for each of the two rams,

15and a tenth [of an ephah] for each of the fourteen lambs;

16also one male goat as a sin offering, in addition to the continual burnt offering, its grain offering and its drink offering.

40So Moses spoke to the Israelites in accordance with everything that the LORD had commanded him.

Numbers 30

1Then Moses spoke to the leaders of the tribes of the Israelites, saying, "This is the thing which the LORD has commanded:

2If a man makes a vow to the LORD or swears an oath to bind himself with a pledge [of abstinence], he shall not break (violate, profane) his word; he shall do according to all that proceeds out of his mouth.

3"Also if a woman makes a vow to the LORD and binds herself by a pledge [of abstinence], while living in her father's house in her youth,

4and her father hears her vow and her pledge by which she has bound herself, and he offers no objection, then all her vows shall stand and every pledge by which she has bound herself shall stand.

5But if her father disapproves of her [making her vow] on the day that he hears about it, none of her vows or her pledges by which she has bound herself shall stand; and the LORD will forgive her because her father has disapproved of her [making the vow].

6"But if she marries while under her vows or if she has bound herself by a rash statement,

7and her husband hears of it and says nothing about it on the day he hears it, then her vows shall stand and her pledge by which she bound herself shall stand.

8But if her husband disapproves of her [making her vow or pledge] on the day that he hears of it, then he shall annul her vow which she is under and the rash statement of her lips by which she bound herself; and the LORD will forgive her.

9"But the vow of a widow or of a divorced woman, everything by which she has bound herself, shall stand against her.

10However, if she vowed in her husband's house or bound herself by a pledge with an oath,

11and her husband heard it, but said nothing to her and did not disapprove of her [making the vow], then all her vows and every pledge by which she bound herself shall stand.

12But if her husband absolutely annuls them on the day he heard them, then whatever proceeds from her lips concerning her vows or concerning her pledge shall not stand. Her husband has annulled them, and the LORD will forgive her.

13"Every vow and every binding oath to humble herself, her husband may confirm it or her husband may annul it.

14But if her husband says nothing to her [concerning the matter] from day to day, then he confirms all her vows or all her pledges which are on her. He has confirmed them because he said nothing to her on the day he heard them.

15But if he indeed nullifies them after he hears of them, then he shall be responsible for and bear her guilt [for breaking her promise]."

16These are the statutes which the LORD commanded Moses, between a man and his wife, and between a father and his daughter while she is a youth in her father's house.
