Numbers 29
The Feast of Trumpets
1 "‘Have a holy meeting on the first day of the seventh month, and don't work on that day. That is the day you blow the trumpets. 2 Bring these burnt offerings as a smell pleasing to the Lord: one young bull, one male sheep, and seven male lambs a year old. They must have nothing wrong with them. 3 With the bull give a grain offering of six quarts of fine flour mixed with oil. With the male sheep offer four quarts, 4 and with each of the seven lambs offer two quarts. 5 Offer one male goat for a sin offering to remove your sins so you will belong to God. 6 These offerings are in addition to the monthly and daily burnt offerings. Their grain offerings and drink offerings must be done as you have been told. These offerings are made by fire to the Lord, and their smell is pleasing to him.
The Day of Cleansing
7 "‘Have a holy meeting on the tenth day of the seventh month. On that day do not eat and do not work. 8 Bring these burnt offerings as a smell pleasing to the Lord: one young bull, one male sheep, and seven male lambs a year old.
