Daily Offerings
1 Now the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
2 “Command the children of Israel, and say to them, ‘My offering, aMy food for My offerings made by fire as a sweet aroma to Me, you shall be careful to offer to Me at their appointed time.’
3 “And you shall say to them, a‘This is the offering made by fire which you shall offer to the Lord: two male lambs in their first year without blemish, day by day, as a regular burnt offering.
4 The one lamb you shall offer in the morning, the other lamb you shall offer in the evening,
5 and aone-tenth of an ephah of fine flour as a bgrain offering mixed with one-fourth of a hin of pressed oil.
6 It is aa regular burnt offering which was ordained at Mount Sinai for a sweet aroma, an offering made by fire to the Lord.
7 And its drink offering shall be one-fourth of a hin for each lamb; ain a holy place you shall pour out the drink to the Lord as an offering.
8 The other lamb you shall offer in the evening; as the morning grain offering and its drink offering, you shall offer it as an offering made by fire, a1 sweet aroma to the Lord.
Sabbath Offerings
9 ‘And on the Sabbath day two lambs in their first year, without blemish, and two-tenths of an ephah of fine flour as a grain offering, mixed with oil, with its drink offering—
10 this is athe burnt offering for every Sabbath, besides the regular burnt offering with its drink offering.

Numbers
Numbers
NUMBERS. This book is so called because it contains an account of the enumeration and arrangement of the Israelites. The early part of it, from the first through the tenth chapters, appears to be a supplement to Leviticus, being occupied with relating the appointment of the Levites to the sacred offices. The journal of the march through the wilderness is then given as far as Numbers 21:20; after which the early incidents of the invasion are narrated. One direct quotation only from this book (Numbers 16:5) is made in the New Testament (II Timothy 2:19); but indirect references to it by the later sacred writers are very numerous.
