Numbers 28
The Lord instructs Moses to tell the Israelites to offer daily sacrifices of two one-year-old lambs, along with wheat flour and wine, as a perpetual holocaust. Additional sacrifices are required on the Sabbath, the first day of each month, and during the Passover and the feast of first-fruits. The sacrifices include calves, rams, lambs, and a he-goat for sin, along with wheat flour and wine, and are to be offered as a most sweet odor to the Lord.
The Lord also said to Moses"Instruct the sons of Israel, and you shall say to them: Offer my oblation and bread, and the incense of most sweet odor, at their proper timesThese are the sacrifices which you must offer: Two immaculate one-year-old lambs each day as a perpetual holocaustYou shall offer one in morning, and the other in the eveningand the tenth part of an ephah of fine wheat flour, which has been sprinkled with the purest oil, and which has the measure of the fourth part of a hinIt is the continual holocaust which you offered at mount Sinai as a most sweet odor of incense to the LordAnd you shall offer a libation of wine, of the fourth part of a hin for each lamb, in the Sanctuary of the LordAnd you shall offer the other lamb similarly, in the evening, according to all the rites of the morning sacrifice and its libations, as an oblation of most sweet odor to the LordThen, on the Sabbath day, you shall offer two immaculate one-year-old lambs, and two tenths of fine wheat flour sprinkled with oil, as sacrifice, as well as the libationthat are usually poured out on each Sabbath as a perpetual holocaustThen, on the first day of the month, you shall offer a holocaust to the Lord: two calves from the herd, one ram, seven immaculate one-year-old lambsand three tenths of fine wheat flour sprinkled with oil, as sacrifice, for each calf, and two tenths of fine wheat flour sprinkled with oil, for each ramand one tenth of fine wheat flour with oil, as a sacrifice, for each lamb. It is a holocaust of most sweet odor and also an incense to the LordNow these shall be the libations of wine, which are to be poured out for each victim: one half portion of a hin for each calf, one third for a ram, and one fourth for a lamb.
