Numbers 15:3-18 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

3. if you make to the Lord an oblation from the herd or from the flock—either a burnt offering or a sacrifice, to fulfill a vow, or as a voluntary offering, or for one of your festivals—to produce a pleasing aroma for the Lord,

4. the one presenting the offering shall also present to the Lord a grain offering, a tenth of a measure of bran flour mixed with a fourth of a hin of oil,

5. as well as wine for a libation, a fourth of a hin. You will do this with the burnt offering or the sacrifice, for each lamb.

6. Alternatively for a ram you shall make a grain offering of two tenths of a measure of bran flour mixed with a third of a hin of oil,

7. and for a libation, a third of a hin of wine, thereby presenting a pleasing aroma to the Lord.

8. If you make an offering from the herd—either a burnt offering, or a sacrifice, to fulfill a vow, or as a communion offering to the Lord,

9. with it a grain offering of three tenths of a measure of bran flour mixed with half a hin of oil will be presented;

10. and you will present for a libation, half a hin of wine—a sweet-smelling oblation to the Lord.

11. The same is to be done for each ox, ram, lamb or goat.

12. Whatever the number you offer, do the same for each of them.

13. All the native-born shall make these offerings in this way, whenever they present a sweet-smelling oblation to the Lord.

14. Likewise, in any future generation, any alien residing with you or anyone else in your midst, who presents an oblation of pleasing aroma to the Lord, must do as you do.

15. There is but one statute for you and for the resident alien, a perpetual statute throughout your generations. You and the resident alien will be alike before the Lord;

16. you and the alien residing with you will have the same rule and the same application of it.

17. The Lord spoke to Moses:
