Numbers 29:1-6

Offers for the Seventh Month

1 " 'On the seventh month, on the first day of the month, you will have a holy convocation; {you will not do any regular work}. It will be a day for you of blowing trumpets.
2 You will offer a burnt offering as a fragrance of appeasement for Yahweh: one bull, one ram, [and] seven male lambs {in their first year}; they will be without defect.
3 Their grain offering will be finely milled flour mixed with oil: three-tenths for the bull, two-tenths for the ram;
4 and one-tenth for each of the seven male lambs;
5 with one male goat for a sin offering, to make atonement for you,
6 in addition to the burnt offering of the new moon and its grain offering, the continual burnt offering and its grain offering, and their libations, according to their stipulations, as a fragrance of appeasement by fire for Yahweh.
