Numbers 28:26-31

Offerings for the Feast of Weeks

26 “On ¹the day of the firstfruits, when you offer a grain offering of new grain to the Lord at your Feast of Weeks, you shall have a holy convocation. You shall not do any ordinary work,

27 but offer a burnt offering, with a pleasing aroma to the Lord: ²two bulls from the herd, one ram, seven male lambs a year old;

28 also their grain offering of fine flour mixed with oil, three tenths of an ephah for each bull, two tenths for one ram,

29 a tenth for each of the seven lambs;

30 with ³one male goat, to make atonement for you.

31 Besides the regular burnt offering and its grain offering, you shall offer them and their drink offering. ⁴See that they are without blemish.
