15 And the tenth of a tenth to every lamb, being in all fourteen lambs:
16 And a buck goat for sin, besides the perpetual holocaust, and the sacrifice and the libation thereof.
17 On the second day you shall offer twelve calves of the herd, two rams and fourteen lambs of a year old, without blemish:
