Laws for Offerings
1 Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
2 “Command the sons of Israel and say to them, ‘You shall be careful
to present My offering, My food for My offerings by fire, of a soothing aroma
to Me, at their appointed time.’
3 “You shall say to them, ‘This is the offering by fire which you
shall offer to the Lord: two male lambs one year old without defect as a continual
burnt offering every day.
4 ‘You shall offer the one lamb in the morning and the other lamb you shall
offer at twilight;
5 also a tenth of an ephah of fine flour for a grain offering, mixed with
a fourth of a hin of beaten oil.
6 ‘It is a continual burnt offering which was ordained in Mount Sinai as
a soothing aroma, an offering by fire to the Lord.
7 ‘Then the drink offering with it shall be a fourth of a hin for each
lamb, in the holy place you shall pour out a drink offering of strong drink
to the Lord.
8 ‘The 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 soothing aroma to the Lord.
9 ‘Then on the sabbath day two male lambs one year old without defect,
and two-tenths of an ephah of fine flour mixed with oil as a grain offering,
and its drink offering:
10 ‘This 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 and one ram, seven male lambs one year
old without defect;
12 and three-tenths of an ephah of fine flour mixed with oil for a grain
offering, for each bull; and two-tenths of fine flour mixed with oil for a grain
offering, for the one ram;
13 and a tenth of an ephah of fine flour mixed with oil for a grain offering
for each lamb, for a burnt offering of a soothing aroma, an offering by fire
to the Lord.
14 ‘Their drink offerings shall be half a hin of wine for a bull and a
third of a hin for the ram and a fourth of a hin for a lamb; this is the burnt
offering of each month throughout the months of the year.
15 ‘And one male goat for a sin offering to the Lord; it shall be offered
with its drink offering in addition to the continual burnt offering.
16 ‘Then on the fourteenth day of the first month shall be the Lord’s
Passover.
17 ‘On the fifteenth day of this month shall be a feast, unleavened
bread shall be eaten for seven days.
18 ‘On the first day shall be a holy convocation; you shall do no laborious
work.
19 ‘You shall present an offering by fire, a burnt offering to the Lord:
two bulls and one ram and seven male lambs one year old, having them without
defect.
20 ‘For their grain offering, you shall offer fine flour mixed with oil:
three-tenths of an ephah for a bull and two-tenths for the ram.
21 ‘A tenth of an ephah you shall offer for each of the seven lambs;
22 and one male goat for a sin offering to make atonement for you.
23 ‘You shall present these besides the burnt offering of the morning,
which is for a continual burnt offering.
24 ‘After this manner you shall present daily, for seven days, the food
of the offering by fire, of a soothing aroma to the Lord; it shall be presented
with its drink offering in addition to the continual burnt offering.
25 ‘On the seventh day you shall have a holy convocation; you shall do
no laborious work.
26 ‘Also on the day of the first fruits, when you present a new grain
offering to the Lord in your Feast of Weeks, you shall have a holy convocation;
you shall do no laborious work.
27 ‘You shall offer a burnt offering for a soothing aroma to the Lord:
two young bulls, one ram, seven male lambs one year old;
28 and their grain offering, fine flour mixed with oil: three-tenths of an ephah
for each bull, two-tenths for the one ram,
29 a tenth for each of the seven lambs;
30 also one male goat to make atonement for you.
31 ‘Besides the continual burnt offering and its grain offering, you
shall present them with their drink offerings. They shall be without defect.
Chapter 29
Offerings of the Seventh Month
1 ‘Now in the seventh month, on the first day of the month, you shall
also have a holy convocation; you shall do no laborious work. It will be to
you a day for blowing trumpets.
2 ‘You shall offer a burnt offering as a soothing aroma to the Lord: one
bull, one ram, and seven male lambs one year old without defect;
3 also their grain offering, fine flour mixed with oil: three-tenths of an
ephah for the bull, two-tenths for the ram,
4 and one-tenth for each of the seven lambs.
5 ‘Offer one male goat for a sin offering, to make atonement for you,
6 besides the burnt offering of the new moon and its grain offering, and

40 Moses spoke to the sons of Israel in accordance with all that the Lord
had commanded Moses.
Chapter 30
The Law of Vows
1 Then Moses spoke to the heads of the tribes of the sons of Israel,
saying, “This
is the word which the Lord has commanded.
2 “If a man makes a vow to the Lord, or takes an oath to bind himself
with a binding obligation, he shall not violate 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 an obligation
in her father’s house in her youth,
4 and her father hears her vow and her obligation by which she has bound herself,
and her father says nothing to her, then all her vows shall stand and every
obligation by which she has bound herself shall stand.
5 “But if her father should forbid her on the day he hears of it, none
of her vows or her obligations by which she has bound herself shall stand; and
the Lord will forgive her because her father had forbidden her.
6 “However, if she should marry while under her vows or the rash statement
of her lips by which she has bound herself,
7 and her husband hears of it and says nothing to her on the day he hears it,
then her vows shall stand and her obligations by which she has bound herself
shall stand.
8 “But if on the day her husband hears of it, he forbids her, then he shall
annul her vow which she is under and the rash statement of her lips by which
she has 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.
10 “However, if she vowed in her husband’s house, or bound herself
by an obligation with an oath,
11 and her husband heard it, but said nothing to her and did not forbid her,
then all her vows shall stand and every obligation by which she bound herself
shall stand.
12 “But if her husband indeed annuls them on the day he hears them, then
whatever proceeds out of her lips concerning her vows or concerning the obligation
of herself 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.
14 “But if her husband indeed says nothing to her from day to day, then
he confirms all her vows or all her obligations which are on her; he has confirmed
them, because he said nothing to her on the day he heard them.
15 “But if he indeed annuls them after he has heard them, then he shall
bear her guilt.”
16 These are the statutes which the Lord commanded Moses, as between a man
and his wife, and as between a father and his daughter, while she is in her
youth
in her father’s house.
