and their meal offering, fine flour mixed with oil. You shall offer three tenths for a bull, and two tenths for the ram.

You shall offer one tenth for every lamb of the seven lambs;

You shall offer these besides the burnt offering of the morning, which is for a continual burnt offering.

In this way you shall offer daily, for seven days, the food of the offering made by fire, of a pleasant aroma to Yahweh. It shall be offered in addition to the continual burnt offering, and its drink offering.

“‘Also in the day of the first fruits, when you offer a new meal offering to Yahweh in your feast of weeks, you shall have a holy convocation. You shall do no regular work;

but you shall offer a burnt offering for a pleasant aroma to Yahweh: two young bulls, one ram, seven male lambs a year old;

one tenth for every lamb of the seven lambs;
