¹¹ “‘On the first of every month,^(A) present to the Lord a burnt offering of two young bulls,^(B) one ram^(C) and seven male lambs a year old, all without defect.^{(D) 12} With each bull there is to be a grain offering^(E) of three-tenths of an ephah^[a](F) of the finest flour mixed with oil; with the ram, a grain offering of two-tenths^(G) of an ephah of the finest flour mixed with oil; ¹³ and with each lamb, a grain offering^(H) of a tenth^(I) of an ephah of the finest flour mixed with oil. This is for a burnt offering,^(J) a pleasing aroma, a food offering presented to the Lord.^{(K) 14} With each bull there is to be a drink offering^(L) of half a hin^[b] of wine; with the ram, a third of a hin^[c]; and with each lamb, a quarter of a hin. This is the monthly burnt offering to be made at each new moon^(M) during the year.

⁵ So David said, “Look, tomorrow is the New Moon feast,^(A) and I am supposed to dine with the king; but let me go and hide^(B) in the field until the evening of the day after tomorrow.
