Numbers 29:1-6

Listen to Numbers 29:1-6

New Year's Day Offerings

1 "You are to hold a sacred assembly in the seventh month, on the first [day] of the month, and you are not to do any daily work.[a] This will be a day of jubilation[b] for you.[c]
2 Offer a burnt offering as a pleasing aroma to the Lord: one young bull, one ram, seven male lambs a year old-[all] unblemished-
3 with their grain offering of fine flour mixed with oil, six quarts[d] with the bull, four quarts[e] with the ram,
4 and two quarts[f] with each of the seven male lambs.
5 Also [offer] one male goat as a sin offering to make atonement for yourselves.
6 These are in addition to the monthly and regular burnt offerings with their grain offerings and drink offerings. They are a pleasing aroma, a fire offering to the Lord.
