וְנִסְכֵּיהֶם חֲצִי הַהִין יִהְיֶה לַפָּר וּשְׁלִישִׁת הַהִין לָאַיִל וּרְבִיעִת הַהִין לַכֶּבֶשׂ יָיִן זֹאת עֹלַת חֹדֶשׁ בְּחָדְשׁוֹ לְחָדְשֵׁי הַשָּׁנָה׃

And their libations: half a hin for a bull, a third of a hin for a ram, and a quarter of a hin for a lamb, of wine. This is the burnt offering of each month in its month throughout the months of the year.
