« | Numbers 28 | » |
1 And LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
2 Command the sons of Israel, and say to them, My oblation, my food for my offerings made by fire, of a sweet savor to me, ye shall observe to offer to me in their due season.
3 And thou shall say to them, This is the offering made by fire which ye shall offer to LORD: he-lambs a year old without blemish, two day by day, for a continual burnt-offering.
4 The one lamb thou shall offer in the morning, and the other lamb thou shall offer at evening,
5 and the tenth part of an ephah of fine flour for a meal-offering, mingled with the fourth part of a hin of beaten oil.
6 It is a continual burnt-offering, which was ordained on mount Sinai for a sweet savor, an offering made by fire to LORD.
7 And the drink-offering of it shall be the fourth part of a hin for the one lamb. In the holy place thou shall pour out a drink-offering of strong drink to LORD.
8 And the other lamb thou shall offer at evening. As the meal-offering of the morning, and as the drink-offering of it, thou shall offer it, an offering made by fire, of a sweet savor to LORD.
9 And on the Sabbath day two he-lambs a year old without blemish, and two tenth parts of an ephah of fine flour for a meal-offering, mingled with oil, and the drink-offering of it.
10 This is the burnt-offering of every Sabbath, besides the continual burnt-offering, and the drink-offering of it.
11 And in the beginnings of your months ye shall offer a burnt-offering to LORD: two young bullocks, and one ram, seven he-lambs a year old without blemish,
12 and three tenth parts of an ephah of fine flour for a meal-offering, mingled with oil for each bullock, and two tenth parts of fine flour for a meal-offering, mingled with oil for the one ram,
13 and a tenth part of fine flour mingled with oil for a meal-offering to every lamb, for a burnt-offering of a sweet savor, an offering made by fire to LORD.
14 And their drink-offerings shall be half a hin of wine for a bullock, and the third part of a hin for the ram, and the fourth part of a hin for a lamb. This is the burnt-offering of every month throughout the months of the year.
15 And one he-goat for a sin-offering to LORD, it shall be offered besides the continual burnt-offering, and the drink-offering of it.
16 And in the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month, is LORD's Passover.
17 And on the fifteenth day of this month shall be a feast; seven days shall unleavened bread be eaten.
18 In the first day shall be a holy convocation. Ye shall do no servile work.
19 But ye shall offer an offering made by fire, a burnt-offering to LORD: two young bullocks, and one ram, and seven he-lambs a year old (they shall be to you without blemish),
20 and their meal-offering, fine flour mingled with oil. Three tenth parts ye shall offer for a bullock, and two tenth parts for the ram,
21 a tenth part shall thou offer for every lamb of the seven lambs.
22 Also one he-goat for a sin-offering, to make atonement for you.
23 Ye shall offer these besides the burnt-offering of the morning, which is for a continual burnt-offering.
24 After this manner ye shall offer daily, for seven days, the food of the offering made by fire, of a sweet savor to LORD. It shall be offered besides the continual burnt-offering, and the drink-offering of it.
25 And on the seventh day ye shall have a holy convocation. Ye shall do no servile work.
26 Also in the day of the first-fruits, when ye offer a new meal-offering to LORD in your feast of weeks, ye shall have a holy convocation. Ye shall do no servile work.
27 But ye shall offer a burnt-offering for a sweet savor to LORD: two young bullocks, one ram, seven he-lambs a year old,
28 and their meal-offering, fine flour mingled with oil, three tenth parts for each bullock, two tenth parts for the one ram,
29 a tenth part for every lamb of the seven lambs,
30 one he-goat, to make atonement for you.
31 Besides the continual burnt-offering, and the meal-offering of it, ye shall offer them (they shall be to you without blemish), and their drink-offerings.
A Conservative Version (ACV)
A Conservative Version (ACV) of the Bible is a translation that aims to provide a conservative and literal interpretation of the biblical texts. Developed with a focus on maintaining fidelity to the original Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek manuscripts, the ACV emphasizes a word-for-word translation methodology. The goal is to preserve the subtleties and nuances of the original languages as accurately as possible. This approach results in a version of the Bible that seeks to remain true to the text's original meaning and context, appealing to readers who prioritize precision and doctrinal integrity.
The text of the Old Testament for A Conservative Version (ACV) came from the American Standard Version published in 1901. The main changes done for the ACV were the replacement of archaic words with more modern ones, except for the old English pronouns, which were kept because they are more communicative. The New Testament was translated from, The New Testament in the Original Greek According to the Byzantine-Majority Text form. That edition was compiled by Maurice A. Robinson and William G. Pierpont, and is of the Textus Receptus tradition from which came the King James Version.
The ACV was created in response to what its translators saw as a trend toward more liberal or dynamic-equivalence translations that prioritize readability over literal accuracy. The translators aimed to produce a text that adheres closely to the original languages, even if this makes the translation more challenging for contemporary readers. This reflects their belief in the importance of preserving the exact words and phrases used in the original scriptures. The ACV also employs traditional theological terminology and phrasing, avoiding modern slang and colloquial expressions in favor of language that conveys the gravity and solemnity of the biblical message.
While the ACV has found appreciation among conservative circles, it has faced criticism for its perceived rigidity and difficulty. Critics argue that its strict adherence to a word-for-word translation can make the text less readable and accessible, potentially alienating readers unfamiliar with the original languages or who prefer a more fluid translation. Despite these criticisms, the ACV remains a valued translation for those who prioritize a conservative and literal approach to Bible interpretation, supporting their doctrinal views with a text they believe closely reflects the original scriptures.
