וַיְדַבֵּר יְהוָה אֶל־מֹשֶׁה לֵּאמֹר:
צַו אֶת־בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל וְאָמַרְתָּ אֲלֵהֶם
אֶת־קָרְבָּנִי לַחְמִי לְאִשַּׁי רֵיחַ נִיחֹחִי
תִּשְׁמְרוּ לְהַקְרִיב לִי בְּמוֹעֲדוֹ:
וְאָמַרְתָּ לָהֶם זֶה הָאִשֶּׁה אֲשֶׁר
תַּקְרִיבוּ לַיהוָה כְּבָשִׂים בְּנֵי־שָׁנָה
תְּמִימִם שְׁנַיִם לַיּוֹם עֹלָה תָמִיד:

<b>The Lord spoke to Moses</b> and gave him instructions to tell the Jewish Nation about the communal sacrifices. <b>Command the Children of Israel and say to them:</b> For My <b>offering</b>—which is like <b>My food for My fires</b> on the altar, and whose <b>smell</b> is <b>pleasing</b> to <b>Me</b>—you should appoint Kohanim and Levites to <b>take care to offer it to Me</b> at its <b>proper time,</b> every morning and afternoon. You should <b>say to them: This is the fire-offering that you should offer to the Lord: Two lambs</b> that are less than a year <b>old</b> and <b>unblemished,</b> offered <b>each day</b> as a <b>daily burnt-offering</b> on the altar. <b>You shall prepare one lamb</b> to be offered in <b>the morning and you shall prepare the second lamb</b> to be offered in the late <b>afternoon.</b> Along with this offering, you should offer a <b>tenth of an eifah</b> (approximately 2 kg/4.5 lbs) <b>of fine flour as a flour-offering, mixed with a quarter</b> of a <b>hin</b> (approximately 1.5 l/50 oz.) of <b>oil</b> from <b>crushed</b> olives.

It is a <b>fire-offering,</b> which is offered <b>to</b> make a <b>pleasing smell for the Lord.</b> On the <b>Shabbat day,</b> bring the following additional offering: two <b>lambs</b> that are less than a <b>year old</b> and <b>unblemished,</b> along with <b>two-tenths</b> of an eifah <b>of fine flour mixed</b> with <b>oil as a flour-offering, and its wine offering.</b> This is the <b>burnt-offering for Shabbat,</b> to be offered <b>every Shabbat.</b> It is to be offered <b>in addition to the daily burnt-offering,</b> its flour-offering, <b>and its wine offering.</b>
