4. then the person who brings an offering shall present to the Lord a grain offering of a tenth of an ephah of the finest flour mixed with a quarter of a hin of olive oil.

5. With each lamb for the burnt offering or the sacrifice, prepare a quarter of a hin of wine as a drink offering.

6. ‘ “With a ram prepare a grain offering of one-fifth of an ephah of the finest flour mixed with a third of a hin of olive oil,

7. and a third of a hin of wine as a drink offering. Offer it as an aroma pleasing to the Lord.

8. ‘ “When you prepare a young bull as a burnt offering or sacrifice, for a special vow or a fellowship offering to the Lord,

9. bring with the bull a grain offering of three-tenths of an ephah of the finest flour mixed with half a hin of olive oil,

10. and also bring half a hin of wine as a drink offering. This will be a food offering, an aroma pleasing to the Lord.

11. Each bull or ram, each lamb or young goat, is to be prepared in this manner.

12. Do this for each one, for as many as you prepare.

13. ‘ “Everyone who is native-born must do these things in this way when they present a food offering as an aroma pleasing to the Lord.
