Numbers 29:7-11

Offerings for the Day of Atonement

7 1"On the tenth day of this seventh month you shall have a holy convocation and 2afflict yourselves. You shall do no work,
8 but you shall offer a burnt offering to the LORD, a pleasing aroma: one bull from the herd, one ram, seven male lambs a year old: 3see that they are without blemish.
9 And their grain offering shall be of fine flour mixed with oil, three tenths of an ephah for the bull, two tenths for the one ram,
10 a tenth for each of the seven lambs:
11 also 4one male goat for a sin offering, besides 5the sin offering of atonement, and the regular burnt offering and its grain offering, and their drink offerings.
