Numbers 29:1-6

1 `And in the seventh month, in the first of the month, a holy convocation ye have, ye do no servile work; a day of shouting it is to you;

2 and ye have prepared a burnt-offering, for sweet fragrance to Jehovah: one bullock, a son of the herd, one ram, seven lambs, sons of a year, perfect ones;

3 and their present, flour mixed with oil, three-tenth deals for the bullock, two-tenth deals for the ram,

4 and one-tenth deal for the one lamb, for the seven lambs;

5 and one kid of the goats, a sin-offering, to make atonement for you;

6 apart from the burnt-offering of the month, and its present, and the continual burnt-offering, and its present, and their libations, according to their ordinance, for sweet fragrance, a fire-offering to Jehovah.
