Numbers 29:1-11

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 blowing the trumpets to you.

2 And ye shall offer a burnt-offering for a sweet savor to the LORD; one young bullock, one ram, [and] seven lambs of the first year without blemish:

3 And their meat-offering [shall be of] flour mingled with oil, three tenth-parts for a bullock, [and] two tenth-parts for a ram,

4 And one tenth-part for one lamb, throughout the seven lambs:

5 And one kid of the goats [for] a sin-offering, to make an atonement for you:

6 Besides the burnt-offering of the month, and his meat-offering, and the daily burnt-offering, and his meat-offering, and their drink-offerings, according to their manner, for a sweet savor, a sacrifice made by fire to the LORD.

7 And ye shall have on the tenth [day] of this seventh month a holy convocation; and ye shall afflict your souls: [in it] ye shall not do any work.

8 But ye shall offer a burnt-offering to the LORD [for] a sweet savor; one young bullock, one ram, [and] seven lambs of the first year; they shall be to you without blemish:

9 And their meat-offering [shall be of] flour mingled with oil, three tenth-parts to a bullock, [and] two tenth-parts to one ram,

10 A several tenth-part for one lamb, throughout the seven lambs:

11 One kid of the goats [for] a sin-offering; besides the sin-offering of atonement, and the continual burnt-offering, and the meat-offering of it, and their drink-offerings.
