"1. And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying, 2. Command the children of Israel, and say unto them, My oblation, my food for my offerings made by fire, of a sweet savor unto me, shall ye observe to offer unto me in their due season. 3. And thou shalt say unto them, This is the offering made by fire which ye shall offer unto Jehovah: he-lambs a year old without blemish, two day by day, for a continual burnt-offering. 4. The one lamb shalt thou offer in the morning, and the other lamb shalt thou offer at even; 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 in mount Sinai for a sweet savor, an offering made by fire unto Jehovah. 7. And the drink-offering thereof shall be the fourth part of a hin for the one lamb: in the holy place shalt thou pour out a drink-offering of strong drink unto Jehovah. 8. And the other lamb shalt thou offer at even: as the meal-offering of the morning, and as the drink-offering thereof, thou shalt offer it, an offering made by fire, of a sweet savor unto Jehovah. 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 thereof: 10. this is the burnt-offering of every sabbath, besides the continual burnt-offering, and the drink-offering thereof. 11. And in the beginnings of your months ye shall offer a burnt-offering unto Jehovah: 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 unto every lamb; for a burnt-offering of a sweet savor, an offering made by fire unto Jehovah. 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 unto Jehovah; it shall be offered besides the continual burnt-offering, and the drink-offering thereof. 16. And in the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month, is Jehovah'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 unto Jehovah: two young bullocks, and one ram, and seven he-lambs a year old; they shall be unto you without blemish; 20. and their meal-offering, fine flour mingled with oil: three tenth parts shall ye offer for a bullock, and two tenth parts for the ram; 21. a tenth part shalt thou offer for every lamb of the seven lambs; 22. and 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 unto Jehovah: it shall be offered besides the continual burnt-offering, and the drink-offering thereof. 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 unto Jehovah 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 unto Jehovah: 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 thereof, ye shall offer them (they shall be unto you without blemish), and their drink-offerings." (Numbers 28:1-31, ASV)

"1. Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, 2. “Command the children of Israel, and tell them, ‘See that you present my offering, my food for my offerings made by fire, of a pleasant aroma to me, in their due season.’ 3. You shall tell them, ‘This is the offering made by fire which you shall offer to Yahweh: male lambs a year old without defect, two day by day, for a continual burnt offering. 4. You shall offer the one lamb in the morning, and you shall offer the other lamb at evening; 5. with one tenth of an ephah of fine flour for a meal offering, mixed with the fourth part of a hin of beaten oil. 6. It is a continual burnt offering, which was ordained in Mount Sinai for a pleasant aroma, an offering made by fire to Yahweh. 7. Its drink offering shall be the fourth part of a hin for the one lamb. You shall pour out a drink offering of strong drink to Yahweh in the holy place. 8. The other lamb you shall offer at evening. As the meal offering of the morning, and as its drink offering, you shall offer it, an offering made by fire, of a pleasant aroma to Yahweh. 9. “‘On the Sabbath day, two male lambs a year old without defect, and two tenths of an ephah of fine flour for a meal offering, mixed with oil, and its drink offering: 10. this is the burnt offering of every Sabbath, besides the continual burnt offering, and its drink offering. 11. “‘In the beginnings of your months, you shall offer a burnt offering to Yahweh: two young bulls, and one ram, seven male lambs a year old without defect; 12. and three tenths of an ephah of fine flour for a meal offering, mixed with oil, for each bull; and two tenth parts of fine flour for a meal offering, mixed with oil, for the one ram; 13. and one tenth part of fine flour mixed with oil for a meal offering to every lamb; for a burnt offering of a pleasant aroma, an offering made by fire to Yahweh. 14. Their drink offerings shall be half a hin of wine for a bull, 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. One male goat for a sin offering to Yahweh; it shall be offered besides the continual burnt offering, and its drink offering. 16. “‘In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month, is Yahweh’s Passover. 17. On the fifteenth day of this month shall be a feast. Unleavened bread shall be eaten for seven days. 18. In the first day shall be a holy convocation. You shall do no regular work; 19. but you shall offer an offering made by fire, a burnt offering to Yahweh: two young bulls, and one ram, and seven male lambs a year old; they shall be to you without defect; 20. and their meal offering, fine flour mixed with oil. You shall offer three tenths for a bull, and two tenths for the ram. 21. You shall offer one tenth for every lamb of the seven lambs; 22. and one male goat for a sin offering, to make atonement for you. 23. You shall offer these besides the burnt offering of the morning, which is for a continual burnt offering. 24. In this way you shall offer daily, for seven days, the food of the offering made by fire, of a pleasant aroma to Yahweh. It shall be offered in addition to the continual burnt offering, and its drink offering. 25. On the seventh day you shall have a holy convocation. You shall do no regular work. 26. “‘Also in the day of the first fruits, when you offer a new meal offering to Yahweh in your feast of weeks, you shall have a holy convocation. You shall do no regular work; 27. but you shall offer a burnt offering for a pleasant aroma to Yahweh: two young bulls, one ram, seven male lambs a year old; 28. and their meal offering, fine flour mixed with oil, three tenths for each bull, two tenths for the one ram, 29. one tenth for every lamb of the seven lambs; 30. one male goat, to make atonement for you. 31. Besides the continual burnt offering, and its meal offering, you shall offer them and their drink offerings. See that they are without defect." (Numbers 28:1-31, WEB)

YLT (YLT)

"1. And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying, 2. 'Command the sons of Israel, and thou hast said unto them, My offering, My bread for My fire-offerings, My sweet fragrance, ye take heed to bring near to Me in its appointed season. 3. 'And thou hast said to them, This [is] the fire-offering which ye bring near to Jehovah: two lambs, sons of a year, perfect ones, daily, a continual burnt-offering; 4. the one lamb thou preparest in the morning, and the second lamb thou preparest between the evenings; 5. and a tenth of the ephah of flour for a present, mixed with beaten oil, a fourth of the hin; 6. a continual burnt-offering, which was made in mount Sinai, for sweet fragrance, a fire-offering to Jehovah; 7. and its libation, a fourth of the hin for the one lamb; in the sanctuary cause thou a libation of strong drink to be poured out to Jehovah. 8. 'And the second lamb thou dost prepare between the evenings; as the present of the morning, and as its libation thou preparest, a fire-offering, a sweet fragrance to Jehovah. 9. 'And on the sabbath-day, two lambs, sons of a year, perfect ones, and two-tenth deals of flour, a present, mixed with oil, and its libation; 10. the burnt-offering of the sabbath in its sabbath, besides the continual burnt-offering and its libation. 11. 'And in the beginnings of your months ye bring near a burnt-offering to Jehovah: two bullocks, sons of the herd, and one ram, seven lambs, sons of a year, perfect ones; 12. and three-tenth deals of flour, a present, mixed with oil, for the one bullock, and two-tenth deals of flour, a present, mixed with oil, for the one ram; 13. and a several tenth deal of flour, a present, mixed with oil, for the one lamb; a burnt-offering, a sweet fragrance, a fire-offering to Jehovah; 14. and their libations are a half of the hin to a bullock, and a third of the hin to a ram, and a fourth of the hin to a lamb, of wine; this [is] the burnt-offering of every month for the months of the year; 15. and one kid of the goats for a sin-offering to Jehovah; besides the continual burnt-offering it is prepared, and its libation. 16. 'And in the first month, in the fourteenth day of the month, [is] the passover to Jehovah; 17. and in the fifteenth day of this month [is] a festival, seven days unleavened food is eaten; 18. in the first day [is] an holy convocation, ye do no servile work, 19. and ye have brought near a fire-offering, a burnt-offering to Jehovah: two bullocks, sons of the herd, and one ram, and seven lambs, sons of a year, perfect ones they are for you; 20. and their present, flour mixed with oil, three-tenth deals for a bullock, and two-tenth deals for a ram ye do prepare; 21. a several tenth deal thou preparest for the one lamb, for the seven lambs, 22. and one goat, a sin-offering, to make atonement for you. 23. 'Apart from the burnt-offering of the morning, which [is] for the continual burnt-offering, ye prepare these; 24. according to these ye prepare daily, seven days, bread of a fire-offering, a sweet fragrance, to Jehovah; besides the continual burnt-offering it is prepared, and its libation; 25. and on the seventh day a holy convocation ye have, ye do no servile work. 26. 'And in the day of the first-fruits, in your bringing near a new present to Jehovah, in your weeks, a holy convocation ye have; ye do no servile work; 27. and ye have brought near a burnt-offering for sweet fragrance to Jehovah: two bullocks, sons of the herd, one ram, seven lambs, sons of a year, 28. and their present, flour mixed with oil, three-tenth deals to the one bullock, two-tenth deals to the one ram, 29. a several tenth deal to the one lamb, for the seven lambs; 30. one kid of the goats to make atonement for you; 31. apart from the continual burnt-offering and its present ye prepare [them] (perfect ones they are for you) and their libations."

Why these four translations

ris3n chose ASV, WEB, KJV, and YLT for two reasons together. They are the most literal English translations available (formal-equivalence: word-for-word renderings that preserve the Hebrew and Greek grammar rather than smoothing it into modern dynamic-equivalence idiom). And they are in the public domain in the United States, which means fair-use quotation at any length requires no publisher license. Modern licensed translations (NASB95, ESV, NIV) restrict volume of quotation under their copyright terms, so they are not used at stub-level coverage here. NASB95 appears only on hand-curated rich passage hubs under Lockman Foundation's fair-use allowance.

The four:

ASV (American Standard Version, 1901). The basis of the modern critical-text English tradition.
WEB (World English Bible, contemporary). Public-domain revision in the ASV line, in current English.
KJV (King James Version, 1611). Reformation-era, Textus Receptus base.
YLT (Young's Literal Translation, Robert Young, 1862). Hyper-literal preservation of Hebrew and Greek grammar; useful for word-study work even where English reads stiff.
