This is a liturgical legal text from the Hebrew Bible — Numbers 28 — presented in a parallel critical edition displaying three distinct textual traditions side by side: the King James Version with Strong's concordance numbers interleaved, the Septuagint (ancient Greek translation), and the Masoretic Text (the Hebrew source). The chapter consists entirely of prescriptive sacrificial law, in which God commands Moses to instruct the Israelites on the precise daily, weekly, monthly, and festival burnt offerings required at each appointed time. The content specifies exact quantities — animals (lambs, bullocks, rams, goats), grain measures (tenths of an ephah of fine flour), oil ratios, and wine libations — for each occasion: the daily *tamid* offering, Sabbath additions, new moon sacrifices, Passover and the Feast of Unleavened Bread, and the Festival of Firstfruits (Shavuot). A distinctive feature of the presentation is that all three versions are rendered together, enabling direct comparison of how the Greek Septuagint and the Hebrew Masoretic Text diverge in vocabulary and phrasing — for instance, the LXX uses *endelecismos* ("continual") where the Hebrew has *tamid*, and renders the drink offering (*nesekh*) with *spondē*. This format signals a scholarly or study-Bible context aimed at readers engaged in textual criticism or close comparative reading of ancient manuscript traditions.
