Slik skal ofrene med mel, olje og vin tilpasses hva slags dyr som skal ofres. Dette gjelder for hvert av dyrene. Dersom flere dyr skal ofres, så skal mengden av mel, olje og vin øke tilsvarende. Slik skal det ofres til Herren, enten det er en israelitt eller en av et annet folkeslag som ønsker å ofre til Herren. Slik skal det også gjøres i generasjonene etter dere, for slike matoffer er en behagelig duft for Herren.
