Exegesis
Prepositional phrases min-ha-bāqar {מִן־הַבָּקָר | min-ha-bā-qār} and min-ha-ṣōʾān {מִן־הַצֹּאן | min-ha-ṣō·ʾān} specify permissible animal sources. English translation maintains the Hebrew parallelism and shifts the infinitive into a subordinate clause to reflect purpose/result structure in English.
In context — Numbers 15:3
And when you offer a fire-offering to the LORD —whether as a burnt-offering or as a sacrifice for fulfilling a vow at your appointed times or as a freewill offering—it shall yield a pleasing aroma to the LORD from the herd or the flock.
