Numbers 29:7-17

7 "`And ye shall have on the tenth day of this seventh month a holy convocation. And ye shall afflict your souls: ye shall not do any work therein.

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

9 And their meat offering shall be of flour mingled with oil: threetenths part to a bullock, and twotenths part to one ram,

10 a separate 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.

12 "`And on the fifteenth day of the seventh month ye shall have a holy convocation. Ye shall do no servile work, and ye shall keep a feast unto the LORD seven days.

13 And ye shall offer a burnt offering, a sacrifice made by fire, of a sweet savor unto the LORD: thirteen young bullocks, two rams, and fourteen lambs of the first year; they shall be without blemish.

14 And their meat offering shall be of flour mingled with oil: threetenths part unto every bullock of the thirteen bullocks, twotenths part to each ram of the two rams,

15 and a separate tenth part to each lamb of the fourteen lambs;

16 and one kid of the goats for a sin offering, besides the continual burnt offering, his meat offering, and his drink offering.

17 "`And on the second day ye shall offer twelve young bullocks, two rams, fourteen lambs of the first year without spot.
