Rules for the people's gifts

The Lord spoke to Moses from the Tent of Meeting.[a] He told him the rules that Israel's people must obey. The Lord said, ‘Speak to Israel's people. Tell them this. When a person gives an animal to the Lord, it must be a cow or a sheep or a goat. A person may want to give a gift to the Lord. That gift must be a male animal from his group of animals.

Footnotes

  1. 1:1 When we write Lord like this, it is a special name for God. Sometimes people write it as ‘Yahweh’, or as ‘Jehovah’. It is his own name that he told Moses. See Exodus 3:14. It means ‘I am who I am’. This shows that God has always been there and he always will be there.
