Numbers 28:4-7

28:4 The first lamb you must offer in the morning, and the second lamb you must offer in the late afternoon, ¹  28:5 with one-tenth of an ephah ²  of finely ground flour as a grain offering mixed with one quarter of a hin ³  of pressed olive oil. 28:6 It is a continual burnt offering that was instituted on Mount Sinai as a pleasing aroma, an offering made by fire to the Lord.

28:7 “‘And its drink offering must be one quarter of a hin for each lamb. ⁴  You must pour out the strong drink ⁵  as a drink offering to the Lord in the holy place.

[28:4]  ¹ tn Heb “between the evenings” meaning between dusk and dark.

[28:5]  ² sn That is about two quarts.

[28:5]  ³ sn That is about one quart.

[28:7]  ⁴ tn Heb “the one lamb,” but it is meant to indicate for “each lamb.”

[28:7]  ⁵ tn The word שֵׁכָר (shekhar) is often translated “strong drink.” It can mean “barley beer” in the Akkadian cognate, and also in the Hebrew Bible when joined with the word for wine.
