וַיְדַבֵּ֥ר יְהֹוָ֖ה אֶל־מֹשֶׁ֥ה לֵּאמֹֽר׃
Adonoy spoke to Moshe saying:
And the Lord spoke to Moshe, saying,
And the L-rd spoke to Moses, saying:
צַ֚ו אֶת־בְּנֵ֣י יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל וְאָמַרְתָּ֖ אֲלֵהֶ֑ם אֶת־קׇרְבָּנִ֨י לַחְמִ֜י לְאִשַּׁ֗י רֵ֚יחַ נִֽיחֹחִ֔י תִּשְׁמְר֕וּ לְהַקְרִ֥יב לִ֖י בְּמוֹעֲדֽוֹ׃
“Command Bnei Yisroel and say to them, ‘My offering, My food of My fires, a pleasing aroma to Me, you shall be vigilant to offer to Me at its prescribed time’.”
Command the children of Yisra᾽el, and say to them, My offering, the provision of my sacrifices made by fire, for a sweet savour to me, shall you observe to offer to me in their due season.
Command the children of Israel [(Before commanding Me for My children, viz. (16): "Let the L-rd appoint a man, etc.," command My children for Me!")], and say to them: My offering [the blood], My bread [the devoted portions (see Leviticus 3:16)], for My fires [i.e., which are placed on the fires of My altar], (for) My sweet savor shall you observe [(whence is derived the institution of ma'amadoth ("watches"), Cohanim, Levites, and Israelites standing over the sacrifices)] to offer to Me in its appointed time [(Every day is the "appointed time" of the temidim (the continual offerings)].
וְאָמַרְתָּ֣ לָהֶ֔ם זֶ֚ה הָֽאִשֶּׁ֔ה אֲשֶׁ֥ר תַּקְרִ֖יבוּ לַיהֹוָ֑ה כְּבָשִׂ֨ים בְּנֵֽי־שָׁנָ֧ה תְמִימִ֛ם שְׁנַ֥יִם לַיּ֖וֹם עֹלָ֥ה תָמִֽיד׃
Say to them: “This is the fire-offering that you shall offer to Adonoy; yearling lambs without blemish, two each day, as a constant (daily) burnt-offering.
And thou shalt say to them, This is the fire offering which you shall offer to the Lord; two lambs of the first year without blemish day by day, for a continual burnt offering.
And you shall say to them [This is an exhortation to beth-din (to charge the people)]: This is the fire-offering which you shall offer up to the L-rd: lambs of the first year, unblemished, two each day [(each to be slaughtered opposite the "day," i.e., the sun; the morning tamid in the west, and the evening tamid in the east)], a perpetual burnt-offering.
אֶת־הַכֶּ֥בֶשׂ אֶחָ֖ד תַּעֲשֶׂ֣ה בַבֹּ֑קֶר וְאֵת֙ הַכֶּ֣בֶשׂ הַשֵּׁנִ֔י תַּעֲשֶׂ֖ה בֵּ֥ין הָֽעַרְבָּֽיִם׃
Offer one lamb in the morning and offer the second lamb in the afternoon.
The one lamb shalt thou offer in the morning, and the other lamb shalt thou offer at evening;
The one lamb shall you offer in the morning, and the other lamb shall you offer towards evening. [Even though this was already stated (Exodus 29:38), there it was an exhortation for the days of investiture (of the Cohanim), whereas here it is commanded for all time.]
וַעֲשִׂירִ֧ית הָאֵיפָ֛ה סֹ֖לֶת לְמִנְחָ֑ה בְּלוּלָ֛ה בְּשֶׁ֥מֶן כָּתִ֖ית רְבִיעִ֥ת הַהִֽין׃

It is a continual burnt offering, which was ordained in mount Sinay for a sweet savour, a sacrifice made by fire to the Lord.
A perpetual burnt-offering [like those] offered up [in the days of the investiture] at Mount Sinai, as a sweet savor, a fire-offering to the L-rd.
וְנִסְכּוֹ֙ רְבִיעִ֣ת הַהִ֔ין לַכֶּ֖בֶשׂ הָאֶחָ֑ד בַּקֹּ֗דֶשׁ הַסֵּ֛ךְ נֶ֥סֶךְ שֵׁכָ֖ר לַיהֹוָֽה׃
Its libation [shall be] one fourth of a hin for the one lamb, in the Holy [Sanctuary], you shall pour an intoxicating libation to Adonoy.
And its drink offering shall be the fourth part of a hin for the one lamb: in the holy place shalt thou cause the strong drink to be poured to the Lord for a drink offering.
And its [wine] libation, a fourth of a hin for the one lamb. On the holy place [i.e., the altar] shall it be poured, a pouring of strong [intoxicating] drink [as opposed to wine straight from the press] to the L-rd.
וְאֵת֙ הַכֶּ֣בֶשׂ הַשֵּׁנִ֔י תַּעֲשֶׂ֖ה בֵּ֣ין הָֽעַרְבָּ֑יִם כְּמִנְחַ֨ת הַבֹּ֤קֶר וּכְנִסְכּוֹ֙ תַּעֲשֶׂ֔ה אִשֵּׁ֛ה רֵ֥יחַ נִיחֹ֖חַ לַיהֹוָֽה׃{פ}

And the second lamb shall you offer up towards evening. As the meal-offering of the morning and its libation shall you offer it; a fire-offering, a sweet savor [i.e., gratifying] to the L-rd [in that His will was done].
וּבְיוֹם֙ הַשַּׁבָּ֔ת שְׁנֵֽי־כְבָשִׂ֥ים בְּנֵֽי־שָׁנָ֖ה תְּמִימִ֑ם וּשְׁנֵ֣י עֶשְׂרֹנִ֗ים סֹ֧לֶת מִנְחָ֛ה בְּלוּלָ֥ה בַשֶּׁ֖מֶן וְנִסְכּֽוֹ׃

[(These are the mussafim, the "additional" offerings, which are to be offered between the two daily offerings.)]
וּבְרָאשֵׁי֙ חׇדְשֵׁיכֶ֔ם תַּקְרִ֥יבוּ עֹלָ֖ה לַיהֹוָ֑ה פָּרִ֨ים בְּנֵֽי־בָקָ֤ר שְׁנַ֙יִם֙ וְאַ֣יִל אֶחָ֔ד כְּבָשִׂ֧ים בְּנֵי־שָׁנָ֛ה שִׁבְעָ֖ה תְּמִימִֽם׃
