Numbers 28:26–31

²⁶On the day of firstfruits, when you present an offering of new grain to the LORD during the Feast of Weeks,^h you are to hold a sacred assembly; you must not do any regular work.

²⁷Present a burnt offering of two young bulls, one ram, and seven male lambs a year old as a pleasing aroma to the LORD, ²⁸together with their grain offerings of fine flour mixed with oil— three-tenths of an ephah with each bull, two-tenths of an ephah with the ram, ²⁹and a tenth of an ephah with each of the seven lambs.

³⁰Include one male goat to make atonement for you. ³¹Offer them with their drink offerings in addition to the regular burnt offering and its grain offering. The animals must be unblemished.’’
