2. Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them: When you come into the land of your dwelling, which I am giving to you,

3. when you make an offering by fire to the Lord, a burnt offering, or a sacrifice in performing a vow, or as a freewill offering, or in your appointed feasts, to make a pleasing aroma to the Lord, of the herd or of the flock,

4. then he who brings his offering to the Lord will bring a grain offering of a tenth of an ephah of flour mixed with the fourth part of a hin of oil.

5. One-fourth of a hin of wine as a drink offering you will prepare with the burnt offering or sacrifice, for each lamb.

6. Or for a ram, you will make a grain offering of two-tenths of an ephah of flour mixed with one-third of a hin of oil.

7. As a drink offering you will offer one-third of a hin of wine, as a pleasing aroma to the Lord.

9. then shall be brought with the bull a grain offering of three-tenths of an ephah of flour mixed with one-half a hin of oil.

10. You will bring as a drink offering one-half a hin of wine, as a fire offering, as a pleasing aroma to the Lord.

15. One ordinance will be for you of the assembly and for the foreigner who lives with you, an ordinance forever throughout your generations. As you are, so will the foreigner be before the Lord.
