1“Now the first day of the seventh month also shall be venerable and holy to you. In it, you shall not do any servile work, because it is the day of the sounding of the trumpets.

3and, as their sacrifices, fine wheat flour sprinkled with oil: three tenths for each calf, two tenths for a ram,
4one tenth for a lamb, which all together are seven lambs;
5and a he-goat for sin, which is offered as an expiation for the people,

34with a he-goat for sin, apart from the perpetual holocaust, and its sacrifice and libation.
35On the eighth day, which is most honored, you shall not do any servile work,
36offering a holocaust as a most sweet odor to the Lord: one calf, one ram, and seven immaculate one-year-old lambs.
