Numbers 28:26-31

Offerings for the Festival of Weeks

26 "On the day of firstfruits, you are to hold a sacred assembly when you present an offering of new grain to the Lord at your [Festival of] Weeks;^[a] you are not to do any daily work.

27 Present a burnt offering for a pleasing aroma to the Lord: two young bulls, one ram, and seven male lambs a year old,

28 with their grain offering of fine flour mixed with oil, six quarts^[b] with each bull, four quarts^[c] with the ram,

29 and two quarts^[d] with each of the seven lambs

30 and one male goat to make atonement for yourselves.

31 Offer [them] with their drink offerings in addition to the regular burnt offering and its grain offering. Your animals are to be unblemished.
