Genesis/Bereshith 22:7-8
7 Yitzhak said to Avraham his father, he said: Father! He said: Here I am, He said: Here are the fire and the wood, but where is the lamb for the offering-up? 8 Avraham said: God will see-for-himself to the lamb for the offering-up, my son. Thus the two of them went together. 9 They came to the place that God had told him of; there Avraham built the slaughter-site and arranged the wood and bound Yitzhak his son and placed him on the slaughter-site atop the wood. 10 And Avraham stretched out his hand, he took the knife to slay his son. 11 But YHVH’S messenger called to him from heaven and said: Avraham! Avraham! He said: Here I am. 12 He said: Do not stretch out your hand against the lad, do not do anything to him! For now I know that you are in awe of God—- you have not withheld your son, your only-one, from me. my son. 13 Avraham lifted up his eyes and saw: there, a ram was caught behind in the thicket by its horns! Avraham went, he took the ram and offered it up as an offering-up in place of his son. 14 Avraham called the name of that place: YHVH Sees. As the saying is today: On YHVH’S mountain (it) is seen.Exodus/Shemoth 12:3-11

5 A wholly-sound male, year-old lamb shall be yours, from the sheep and from the goats are you
to take it.
6 It shall be for you in safekeeping, until the fourteenth day after this New-moon, and they are to slay it-the entire assembly of the community of Israel-between the setting-times.
7 They are to take some of the blood and put it onto the two posts and onto the lintel, onto the houses in which they eat it.
8 They are to eat the flesh on that night, roasted in fire, and matzot, with bitter-herbs they are to eat it.
9 Do not eat any of it raw, or boiled, boiled in water, but rather roasted in fire, its head along with its legs, along with its innards.
10 You are not to leave any of it until morning; what is left of it until morning, with fire you are to burn.
11 And thus you are to eat it: your hips girded, your sandals on your feet, your sticks in your
hand; you are to eat it in trepidation— it is a Passover-meal to YHVH.
Exodus/ Shemoth 13:11-13
11 It shall be, when YHVH brings you to the land of the Canaanite, as he swore to you and to your fathers, and gives it to you, 12 you are to transfer every breacher of a womb to YHVH, every breacher, offspring of a beast that belongs to you, the males (are) for YHVH. 13 Every breacher of a donkey you are to redeem with a lamb; if you do not redeem (it), you are to break-its-neck. And every firstborn of men, among your sons, you are to redeemLeviticus/Wayyiqrah 14: 1-2, 10, -13
1 YHVH spoke to Moshe, saying:2 This is to be the Instruction for the one-with-tzaraat, on the day of his being-purified: he is to be brought to the priest. 10 On the eighth day he is to take two lambs, wholly-sound, and one lamb in its (first) year, wholly sound, and three tenth-measures of flour as a grain-gift, mixed with oil and one log of oil. 11 The priest making-purification is to stand the man to-be-purified and them before the presence of YHWH, at the entrance to the Tent of Appointment: 12 the priest is to take the one lamb and is to bring-it-near as an asham-offering, with the log of oil, and is to elevate them as an elevation-offering, before the presence of YHWH. 13 Then he is to slay the lamb in the place where one slays the hattat-offering and the offering-up, in a holy place, for like the hattat-offering, the asham-offering is the priest’s, it is a holiest holy-portion.
Exodus/Shemoth. 29:38-43
38 And this is what y
ou are to sacrifice on the slaughter-site: year-old lambs, two for each day, regularly. 39 The first lamb you are to sacrifice at daybreak, and the second lamb you are to sacrifice between the setting-times. 40 A tenth-measure of fine-meal, mixed with beaten oil, a quarter of a hin, and (as) poured-offering, a quarter of a hin of wine—for the first lamb. 41 And the second lamb you are to sacrifice between the setting times, like the grain-gift of morning, and like its poured-offering (that) you make-ready for it, for a soothing savor, a fire-offering for YHWH; 42 a regular offering-up, throughout your generations, at the entrance to the Tent of Apppointment, before the presence of YHWH; for I will appoint-meeting with you there with the Children of Israel, and it will be hallowed by my Glory.
Leviticus/Wayyiqrah 4:27-32
27 Now if any person sins in error, from among the people of the land,
by doing one (thing) regarding the commandments of YHWH that should not be done,
and incurs guilt,
28 or it is made known to him the sin that he sinned:
he is to bring his near-offering a hairiy-one of goats, wholly sound, female, for the sin whereby he sinned.
29 He is to lean his hand on the head of the hattat-offering and is to slay the hattat-offering, at the place of the offering=up. 30 The priest is to take some of the blood of the hattat-offering with his finger and is to put (it) on the horns of the slaughter-site of offering-up; all (the rest of) its blood he is to pour out at the foundation of the slaughter-site of offering-up. 31 All of its fat, he is to remove, as was removed the fat from upon the slaughter-offering of shalom and the priest is to turn it into smoke on the slaughter-site, as a soothing savor for YHWH; thus the priest is to effect-purgation for him, and he shall be granted-pardon. 32 If (it is) a sheep he brings as his near-offering for a hattat-offering, a female, wholly-sound, he is to bring. Leviticus/Wayyiqrah 23:
You are to perform a sacrifice on the day of your elevating the sheaf: a sheep, wholly sound, in its (first) year, as an offering-up to YHWH.Numbers/Bemidbar 15:11-16
11 Thus is to be sacrificed with (each) one ox or with (each) one ram or with (any) lamb among the sheep or among the goats, 12 according to the number that you sacrifice; thus are you to sacrifice for (each) one, according to their number. 13 Every native is to sacrifice these thus, to bring-near a fire-offering of soothing savor for YHWH. 14 Now when there sojourns with you a sojourner, or (one) that has been in your midst, throughout your generations, and he sacrifices a fire-offering of soothing savor for YHWH; as you sacrifice (it), thus is he to sacrifice (it). 15 Assembly! One law for you and for the sojourner that takes-up-sojourn, a law for the ages, throughout your generations: as (it is for) you, so will it be (for) the sojourner before the presence of YHWH. 16 One instruction, one regulation shall there be for you and for the sojourner that takes-up-sojourn with you![AST] Jeremiah/Yirmeyahu 11:17-22
17 And HASHEM [YHWH], Master of Legions, the One Who planted you, has declared evil upon you, because of the evil of the House of Israel and the House of Judah, which they committed in order to anger Me, by sacrificing to Baal. 18 HASHEM [YHWH] informed me, so I would know—then You showed me their deeds. 19 I am like a choice sheep led to the slaughter; I did not know that they devised schemes against me; “Let us destroy (him by placing] tree-poison in his food and cut him off from the land of the living, so that his name will not be remembered any more.” 20 But HASHEM [YHWH} Master of Legions, righteous Judge, Who examines innermost thoughts and feelings, let me see Your vengeance against hem, for i have revealed my grievance to You. 21 Therefore, thus said HASHEM [YHWH], concerning the men of Anathoth who seek your life, saying: “Do not prophecy in the Name of HASHEM [YHWH], so that you not die at our hand”—22 Therefore, thus said HASHEM [YHWH], Master of Legions: “Behold, I shall punish them: the young men will die by the sword, their daughters will die in the famine. 23 There will be no remnant of them, for I shall bring evil upon the men of Anathoth [in] the year of their punishment.Ezekiel 45:13-17
13 “This is the portion that you shall set aside: a sixth of an ephah from the chomer of wheat and shall take a sixth of an ephah from a chomer of barley. 14 The law of the oil: The bath [is the measure for] the oil; the bath shall be a tenth of the koi [which is] ten bath, a chomer for ten bath are a chomer. 15 And one lamb from the flock out of two hundred, from Israel’s fatted animals. [These are all] for a meal-offering, a burnt-offering, and a peace-offering to atone for you—the word of the Lord, HASHEM[YHWH]/ELOHIM. 16 The entire people of the land shall join in this donation with the prince in Israel. 17 Upon the prince shall be [the responsibility for]the burnt-offerings, the meal-offering, and the libation, on the festivals, on the New Moons, and on the Sabbaths, on all the appointed times of the House of Israel; he shall prepare the sin-offering, the meal-offering, the burnt-offering, and the peace-offering to atone on behalf of the House of Israel.”Ezekiel 46: 3-16
3 The people of the land shall prostrate themselves before HASHEM[YHWH] at the entrance of that gate on the Sabbaths and on the New Moons. 4 “And [this is] the burnt-offering that the prince shall bring for HASHEM[YHWH] on the Sabbath day, six unblemished sheep and an unblemished ram 5 and a meal-offering of one ephah for the ram and a meal-offering of whatever his hand gives for the sheep, with a hin of oil for each ephah, 6 on the day of the New Moon an unblemished bull from the herd and six sheep and a ram, they shall be unblemished, 7 and he shall make an ephah for the bull and an ephah for the ram as a meal-offering, and for the sheep according to his means, with a hin of oil per ephah. 8 “When the prince enters, he shall enter by way of the hall of the gate, and by the same way he shall leave. 9 But when the populace comes before HASHEM[YHWH] on the appointed days, whoever comes in by way of the northern gate to prostrate himself shall go out by way of the southern gate, and whoever comes in by way of the southern gate shall go out by way of the northern gate. He shall not return by way of the gate through which he came in; rather he shall go out opposite it 10 And the prince : He shall enter among them when they enter, and when they leave he shall leave. 11 On the festivals and at the appointed times, the meal offering shall be an ephah for a bull and an ephah for a ram, and for the sheelp, whatever his hand gives, with a hin of oil per ephah. 12 When the prince makes a free-will offering, a burnt-offering or a peace-offering as a free-will offering for HASHEM[YHWH], they shall open for him the gate that faces eastward, and he shall make his burnt-offering and his peace-offerings as he does on the Sabbath day, then he shall go out, and they shall close the gate after his departure. 13 “You shall prepare a sheep in its first year, unblemished, as a daily burnt-offering for HASHEM[YHWH]; you shall make it every morning.” 14 And you shall bring a meal-offering with it every morning, a sixth of an ephah, a third of a hin of oil with which to mix the flour; it is a meal-offering to HASHEM. As an eternal portion [to be offered] continually, 15 they shall make the sheep and the meal-offering and the oil every morning as a continual burnt-offering. 16 Thus said the LORD HASHEM[YHWH]/ELOHIM: “If the prince makes a gift to one of his sons, since it is his inheritance that will belong to his sons, it is their possession by inheritance.New Testament
