18 'Along with the bread you shall present seven one year old male lambs without defect, and a bull * * of the herd and two rams; they are to be a burnt offering to the LORD, with their grain offering and their drink offerings, an offering by fire of a soothing aroma to the LORD.
19 'You shall also offer 4one male goat for a sin offering and two male lambs one year old for a sacrifice of peace offerings
20 'The priest shall then wave them with the bread of the first fruits for a wave offering with two lambs before the LORD; they are to be holy to the LORD for the priest.
