Numbers 29:7-11

7 'Then on 1the tenth day of this seventh month you shall have a holy convocation, and you shall humble yourselves; you shall not do any work.
8 'You shall present a burnt offering to the LORD as a soothing aroma: one bull * *, one ram, seven male lambs one year old, 2having them without defect;
9 and their grain offering, fine flour mixed with oil: three-tenths * of an ephah for the bull, two-tenths * for the one ram,
10 a tenth for each of the seven lambs;
11 one male goat for a sin offering, besides * 3the sin offering of atonement and 4the continual burnt offering and its grain offering, and their drink offerings.
