Numbers 29:1-10

1 "'In the seventh month, on the first day of the month, you are to have a holy convocation; do not do any kind of ordinary work; it is a day of blowing the shofar for you.

2 Prepare a burnt offering to make a fragrant aroma for ADONAI - one young bull, one ram and seven male lambs in their first year and without defect -

3 with their grain offering, consisting of fine flour mixed with olive oil - six quarts for the bull, four quarts for the ram,

4 and two quarts for each of the seven lambs -

5 also one male goat as a sin offering to make atonement for you.

6 This is to be in addition to the burnt offering for Rosh-Hodesh with its grain offering, the regular burnt offering with its grain offering, and their drink offerings, according to the rule for them; this will be a fragrant aroma, an offering made by fire to ADONAI.

7 "'On the tenth day of this seventh month you are to have a holy convocation. You are to deny yourselves, and you are not to do any kind of work;

8 but you are to present a burnt offering to ADONAI to make a fragrant aroma: one young bull, one ram, and seven male lambs in their first year (they are to be without defect for you),

9 with their grain offering, fine flour mixed with olive oil, six quarts for the bull, four quarts for the one ram,

10 and two quarts for each of the seven lambs;
