(Chapters 28 - 29)
"For a sweet savour unto the Lord"
In these chapters, God provides
disgustingly detailed instructions for the ritualistic sacrifice of animals. The
burning of their dead bodies smells great to God. Eleven times in these two
chapters God says that they are to him a "sweet savour."
| 28:2
Command the children of Israel, and say unto them, My offering, and my
bread for my sacrifices made by fire, for a sweet savour unto me,
shall ye observe to offer unto me in their due season.
|
| 28:3
And thou shalt say unto them, This is the offering made by fire which ye shall
offer unto the LORD; two lambs of the first year without spot day by day, for a continual
burnt offering.
|
| 28:4
The one lamb shalt thou offer in the morning, and the other lamb shalt
thou offer at even; |
|
| 28:5
And a tenth part of an ephah of flour for a meat offering, mingled with
the fourth part of an hin of beaten oil. |
|
| 28:6
It is a continual burnt offering, which was ordained in mount Sinai for a sweet
savour, a sacrifice made by fire
unto the LORD. |
|
| 28:7
And the drink offering thereof shall be the fourth part of an hin for the
one lamb: in the holy place shalt thou cause the strong wine to be poured
unto the LORD for a drink offering. |
|
| 28:8
And the other lamb shalt thou offer at even: as the meat offering of the
morning, and as the drink offering thereof, thou shalt offer it, a sacrifice
made by fire, of a sweet savour
unto the LORD. |
|
| 28:9
And on the sabbath day two lambs of the first year without spot, and two
tenth deals of flour for a meat offering, mingled with oil, and the drink
offering thereof: |
|
| 28:10
This is the burnt offering of every sabbath, beside the continual burnt
offering, and his drink offering. |
|
| 28:11
And in the beginnings
of your months ye shall offer a burnt offering unto the LORD; two young
bullocks, and one ram, seven lambs of the first year without spot; |
 (28:11)
"And in the beginnings of your months ye shall offer a burnt offering unto the LORD;
two young bullocks, and one ram, seven lambs of the first year without spot."
What is the correct recipe for
the new moon sacrifice?
|
| 28:12
And three tenth deals of flour for a meat offering, mingled with oil, for
one bullock; and two tenth deals of flour for a meat offering, mingled with
oil, for one ram;
|
| 28:13
And a several tenth deal of flour mingled with oil for a meat offering
unto one lamb; for a
burnt offering of a
sweet savour, a
sacrifice made by fire unto the LORD. |
|
| 28:14
And their drink offerings shall be half an hin of wine unto a bullock, and
the third part of an hin unto a ram, and a fourth part of an hin unto a
lamb: this is the burnt offering of every month throughout the months of the
year. |
|
| 28:15
And one kid of the goats for a sin offering unto the LORD shall be
offered, beside the continual burnt offering, and his drink offering. |
|
| 28:16
And in the fourteenth day of the first month is the passover of the LORD. |
|
| 28:17
And in the fifteenth day of this month is the feast: seven days shall
unleavened bread be eaten. |
|
| 28:18
In the first day shall be an holy convocation; ye shall do no manner of
servile work therein: |
|
| 28:19
But ye shall offer a sacrifice made by fire for a burnt offering unto the
LORD; two young bullocks, and one ram, and seven lambs of the first year:
they shall be unto you without blemish: |
|
| 28:20
And their meat offering shall be of flour mingled with oil: three tenth
deals shall ye offer for a bullock, and two tenth deals for a ram; |
|
| 28:21
A several tenth deal shalt thou offer for every lamb, throughout the seven
lambs: |
|
| 28:22
And one goat for a sin offering, to make an atonement for you. |
|
| 28:23
Ye shall offer these beside the burnt offering in the morning, which is
for a continual burnt offering. |
|
| 28:24
After this manner ye shall offer daily, throughout the seven days, the
meat of the sacrifice
made by fire, of a
sweet savour unto the LORD : it shall be offered beside the
continual burnt offering, and his drink offering. |
|
| 28:25
And on the seventh day ye shall have an holy convocation; ye shall do no
servile work. |
|
| 28:26
Also in the day of the firstfruits, when ye bring a new meat offering unto
the LORD, after your weeks be out, ye shall have an holy convocation; ye
shall do no servile work: |
|
| 28:27
But ye shall offer the
burnt offering for a
sweet savour unto the LORD ; two young bullocks, one ram, seven
lambs of the first year; |
|
| 28:28
And their meat offering of flour mingled with oil, three tenth deals unto
one bullock, two tenth deals unto one ram, |
|
| 28:29
A several tenth deal unto one lamb, throughout the seven lambs; |
|
| 28:30
And one kid of the goats, to make an atonement for you. |
|
| 28:31
Ye shall offer them beside the continual burnt offering, and his meat
offering, (they shall be unto you without blemish) and their drink
offerings. |
