Daily Offerings
1 Then the LORD spoke to Moses. He said, 2 “Give this command to the Israelites. Tell them to be sure to give the grain offerings and sacrifices to me at the right time as sweet-smelling gifts. 3 These are gifts that they must give to the LORD. Every day they must give 2 lambs that are one year old. There must be nothing wrong with them. 4 Offer one of the lambs in the morning and the other lamb just before dark. 5 Also give a grain offering of 8 cups* 8 cups Literally, “1/10 of an ephah” (2.2 l). Also in verses 13, 20-21, 29. of fine flour mixed with 1 quart† 1 quart Literally, “1/4 hin” (.8 l). Also in verse 14. of olive oil.” 6 (They started giving the daily offerings at Mount Sinai as sweet-smelling gifts to the LORD.) 7 “The people must also give the drink offerings that go with the gifts. They must give 1 quart of wine with every lamb. Pour that drink offering on the altar in the Holy Place. This is a gift to the LORD. 8 Offer the second lamb just before dark. Offer it just as the morning offering. Also give the drink offering that goes with it. This will be a sweet-smelling gift to the LORD.

Monthly Meetings
11 “On the first day of each month you will offer a special burnt offering to the LORD. This offering will be 2 male bulls, 1 ram, and 7 lambs that are one year old.
