Monthly Offerings

11 “At the beginning of each of your months present a burnt offering to the Lord: two young bulls, one ram, seven male lambs a year old—all unblemished— 12 with six quarts[a] of fine flour mixed with oil as a grain offering for each bull, four quarts[b] of fine flour mixed with oil as a grain offering for the ram, 13 and two quarts[c] of fine flour mixed with oil as a grain offering for each lamb. It is a burnt offering, a pleasing aroma, a fire offering to the Lord. 14 Their drink offerings are to be two quarts[d] of wine with each bull, one and a third quarts[e] with the ram, and one quart[f] with each male lamb. This is the monthly burnt offering for all the months of the year. 15 And one male goat is to be offered as a sin offering to the Lord, in addition to the regular burnt offering with its drink offering.
