Numbers 29:1-6

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 of trumpets unto you.

2 And ye shall offer a burnt-offering for a sweet savor unto Jehovah: one young bullock, one ram, seven he-lambs a year old without blemish;

3 and their meal-offering, fine flour mingled with oil, three tenth parts for the bullock, two tenth parts for the ram,

4 and one tenth part for every lamb of the seven lambs;

5 and one he-goat for a sin-offering, to make atonement for you;

6 besides the burnt-offering of the new moon, and the meal-offering thereof, and the continual burnt-offering and the meal-offering thereof, and their drink-offerings, according unto their ordinance, for a sweet savor, an offering made by fire unto Jehovah.
