Numbers 29:7-11

Day of Reconciliation

7 The tenth day of this seventh month will be a holy occasion for you. You will deny yourselves and not do any work.

8 You will present an entirely burned offering to the LORD as a soothing smell: one bull from the herd, one ram, and seven male lambs one year old. They will be flawless.

9 Their grain offering will be fine flour mixed with oil, three-tenths for the bull, two-tenths for the one ram,

10 and one-tenth for each of the seven lambs.

11 There will be one male goat for a purification offering in addition to the purification offering of reconciliation, and the regular entirely burned offering with its grain offering and drink offerings.
