Tell them, When you enter your homeland that I am giving to you and sacrifice a Fire-Gift to God , a Whole-Burnt-Offering or any sacrifice from the herd or flock for a Vow-Offering or Freewill-Offering at one of the appointed feasts, as a pleasing fragrance for God , the one bringing the offering shall present to God a Grain-Offering of two quarts of fine flour mixed with a quart of oil. With each lamb for the Whole-Burnt-Offering or other sacrifice, prepare a quart of oil and a quart of wine as a Drink-Offering.
New American Standard Bible (1995)

Contextual Overview

1The Lord instructed Moses: 2“Speak to the Israelites and tell them: When you enter the land I am giving you to settle in, 3and you make a fire offering to the Lord from the herd or flock—either a burnt offering or a sacrifice, to fulfill a vow, or as a freewill offering, or at your appointed festivals—to produce a pleasing aroma for the Lord, 4the one presenting his offering to the Lord is also to present a grain offering of two quarts of fine flour mixed with a quart of oil. 5Prepare a quart of wine as a drink offering with the burnt offering or sacrifice of each lamb. 6“If you prepare a grain offering with a ram, it is to be four quarts of fine flour mixed with a third of a gallon of oil. 7Also present a third of a gallon of wine for a drink offering as a pleasing aroma to the Lord. 8“If you prepare a young bull as a burnt offering or as a sacrifice, to fulfill a vow, or as a fellowship offering to the Lord, 9a grain offering of six quarts of fine flour mixed with two quarts of oil is to be presented with the bull. 10Also present two quarts of wine as a drink offering. It is a fire offering of pleasing aroma to the Lord.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

The Lord spake unto Moses,.... After the murmurings of the Israelites by reason of the spies, Numbers 14:2; and their being threatened with a consumption of them in the wilderness on that account,

saying; as follows.
