Numbers 29:1-10

1 And in the seventh month, on the first day of the month, ye shall have a holy convocation; ye shall do no servile work; it is a day of sounding an alarm unto you.

2 And ye shall offer a burnt offering for an acceptable savour unto the LORD: one young bullock, one ram, and seven lambs of the first year without blemish;

3 and their present shall be of flour mingled with oil, three tenth deals with each bullock, and two tenth deals with each ram,

4 and one tenth deal with each of the seven lambs;

5 and one he goat as the sin, to reconcile you.

6 Besides the burnt offering of the month and its present, and the daily burnt offering and its present and their drink offerings, according to their law, for an acceptable savour, a sacrifice on fire unto the LORD.

7 And ye shall have on the tenth of this seventh month a holy convocation; and ye shall afflict your souls; ye shall not do any work;

8 and ye shall offer in burnt offering unto the LORD for an acceptable savour: one young bullock, one ram, and seven lambs of the first year; they shall be unto you without blemish.

9 And their presents shall be of flour mingled with oil, three tenth deals with each bullock, and two tenth deals with each ram,

10 a tenth deal for each of the seven lambs;
