## Numbers 28 (Catholic Public Domain Version)

1. The Lord also said to Moses:
2. “Instruct the sons of Israel, and you shall say to them: Offer my oblation and bread, and the incense of most sweet odor, at their proper times.
3. These are the sacrifices which you must offer: Two immaculate one-year-old lambs each day as a perpetual holocaust.
4. You shall offer one in morning, and the other in the evening,
5. and the tenth part of an ephah of fine wheat flour, which has been sprinkled with the purest oil, and which has the measure of the fourth part of a hin.
6. It is the continual holocaust which you offered at mount Sinai as a most sweet odor of incense to the Lord.
7. And you shall offer a libation of wine, of the fourth part of a hin for each lamb, in the Sanctuary of the Lord.
8. And you shall offer the other lamb similarly, in the evening, according to all the rites of the morning sacrifice and its libations, as an oblation of most sweet odor to the Lord.
9. Then, on the Sabbath day, you shall offer two immaculate one-year-old lambs, and two tenths of fine wheat flour sprinkled with oil, as sacrifice, as well as the libations
10. that are usually poured out on each Sabbath as a perpetual holocaust.
11. Then, on the first day of the month, you shall offer a holocaust to the Lord: two calves from the herd, one ram, seven immaculate one-year-old lambs,
12. and three tenths of fine wheat flour sprinkled with oil, as sacrifice, for each calf, and two tenths of fine wheat flour sprinkled with oil, for each ram,
13. and one tenth of fine wheat flour with oil, as a sacrifice, for each lamb. It is a holocaust of most sweet odor and also an incense to the Lord.
14. Now these shall be the libations of wine, which are to be poured out for each victim: one half portion of a hin for each calf, one third for a ram, and one fourth for a lamb. This shall be the holocaust for all the months, as they succeed one another in the turning of the year.
15. Likewise, a he-goat shall be offered to the Lord for sin, with the perpetual holocaust and its libations.
16. Then, in the first month, the fourteenth day of the month shall be the Passover of the Lord.
17. And the fifteenth day shall be a solemnity. For seven days, they shall eat unleavened bread.
18. And the first day of these days shall be venerable and holy; you shall not do any servile work in it.
19. And you shall offer the incense of a holocaust to the Lord, two calves from the herd, one ram, seven immaculate one-year-old lambs;
20. and with each sacrifice, from fine wheat flour which has been sprinkled with oil, three tenths for each calf, and two tenths for each ram,
21. and one tenth for each lamb, that is, for the seven lambs;
22. and one he-goat for sin, as an expiation for you,
23. aside from the morning holocaust, which you shall always offer.
24. You shall do this on each day of the seven days, as fuel for the fire, and as a most sweet odor to the Lord, which shall rise up from the holocaust and from each of the libations.
25. Likewise, the seventh day shall be very honored and holy for you. Any servile work, you shall not do in it.
26. And also the day of the first-fruits, after the weeks have been fulfilled, when you shall offer new fruits to the Lord, shall be venerable and holy. You shall not do any servile work in it.
27. And you shall offer a holocaust as a most sweet odor to the Lord: two calves from the herd, one ram, and seven immaculate one-year-old lambs,
28. and also, as their sacrifices, fine wheat flour sprinkled with oil, three tenths for each calf, two for each ram,
29. one tenth for each lamb, which all together are seven lambs; likewise, a he-goat,
30. which is slain for expiation, aside from the perpetual holocaust and its libations.
31. You shall offer only what is immaculate, with their libations.”

## Numbers 28 in Latin (Clementine Vulgate, 1592)

1. Dixit quoque Dominus ad Moysen:
2. Præcipe filiis Israël, et dices ad eos: Oblationem meam et panes, et incensum odoris suavissimi offerte per tempora sua.
3. Hæc sunt sacrificia quæ offerre debetis: agnos anniculos immaculatos duos quotidie in holocaustum sempiternum:
4. unum offeretis mane, et alterum ad vesperum:
5. decimam partem ephi similæ, quæ conspersa sit oleo purissimo, et habeat quartam partem hin.
6. Holocaustum juge est quod obtulistis in monte Sinai in odorem suavissimum incensi Domini.
7. Et libabitis vini quartam partem hin per agnos singulos in sanctuario Domini.
8. Alterumque agnum similiter offeretis ad vesperam juxta omnem ritum sacrificii matutini, et libamentorum ejus, oblationem suavissimi odoris Domino.
9. Die autem sabbati offeretis duos agnos anniculos immaculatos, et duas decimas similæ oleo conspersæ in sacrificio, et liba:
10. quæ rite funduntur per singula sabbata in holocaustum sempiternum.
11. In calendis autem offeretis holocaustum Domino, vitulos de armento duos, arietem unum, agnos anniculos septem immaculatos,
12. et tres decimas similæ oleo conspersæ in sacrificio per singulos vitulos: et duas decimas similæ oleo conspersæ per singulos arietes:
13. et decimam decimæ similæ ex oleo in sacrificio per agnos singulos: holocaustum suavissimi odoris atque incensi est Domino.
14. Libamenta autem vini, quæ per singulas fundenda sunt victimas, ista erunt: media pars hin per singulos vitulos, tertia per arietem, quarta per agnum. Hoc erit holocaustum per omnes menses, qui sibi anno vertente succedunt.
15. Hircus quoque offeretur Domino pro peccatis in holocaustum sempiternum cum libamentis suis.
16. Mense autem primo, quartadecima die mensis, Phase Domini erit,
17. et quintadecima die solemnitas: septem diebus vescentur azymis.
18. Quarum dies prima venerabilis et sancta erit: omne opus servile non facietis in ea.
19. Offeretisque incensum holocaustum Domino, vitulos de armento duos, arietem unum, agnos anniculos immaculatos septem:
20. et sacrificia singulorum ex simila quæ conspersa sit oleo, tres decimas per singulos vitulos, et duas decimas per arietem,
21. et decimam decimæ per agnos singulos, id est, per septem agnos.
22. Et hircum pro peccato unum, ut expietur pro vobis,
23. præter holocaustum matutinum, quod semper offeretis.
24. Ita facietis per singulos dies septem dierum in fomitem ignis, et in odorem suavissimum Domino, qui surget de holocausto, et de libationibus singulorum.
25. Dies quoque septimus celeberrimus et sanctus erit vobis: omne opus servile non facietis in eo.
26. Dies etiam primitivorum, quando offeretis novas fruges Domino, expletis hebdomadibus, venerabilis et sancta erit: omne opus servile non facietis in ea.
27. Offeretisque holocaustum in odorem suavissimum Domino, vitulos de armento duos, arietem unum, et agnos anniculos immaculatos septem:
28. atque in sacrificiis eorum, similæ oleo conspersæ tres decimas per singulos vitulos, per arietes duas,
29. per agnos decimam decimæ, qui simul sunt agni septem. Hircum quoque,
30. qui mactatur pro expiatione: præter holocaustum sempiternum et liba ejus.
31. Immaculata offeretis omnia cum libationibus suis.
