18In the first day shall be a holy convocation: ye shall do no servile work;
19but ye shall offer an offering made by fire, a burnt-offering unto Jehovah: two young bullocks, and one ram, and seven he-lambs a year old; they shall be unto you without blemish;
20and their meal-offering, fine flour mingled with oil: three tenth parts shall ye offer for a bullock, and two tenth parts for the ram;
21a tenth part shalt thou offer for every lamb of the seven lambs;
22and one he-goat for a sin-offering, to make atonement for you.
23Ye shall offer these besides the burnt-offering of the morning, which is for a continual burnt-offering.
24After this manner ye shall offer daily, for seven days, the food of the offering made by fire, of a sweet savor unto Jehovah: it shall be offered besides the continual burnt-offering, and the drink-offering thereof.
