Numbers 28:26-31

Offerings for the Festival of Weeks

26 " 'And on the day of firstfruits, when you are presenting a new offering for Yahweh during your Festival of Weeks, you will have a holy convocation; {you will not do any regular work}.

27 You will present a burnt offering for a fragrance of appeasement for Yahweh: two bulls, one ram, seven male lambs {in their first year};

28 and their grain offering will be finely milled flour mixed with oil: three-tenths for each bull, two-tenths for one ram,

29 a tenth for each of the male lambs;

30 and one male goat to make atonement for you.

31 In addition to the continual burnt offering and its grain offering, you will offer [them] without defect with their libation.
