Numbers 29
Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition
29 The first day also of the seventh month shall be venerable and holy unto you; you shall do no servile work therein, because it is the day of the sounding and of trumpets.
2 And you shall offer a holocaust for a most sweet odour to the Lord, one calf of the herd, one ram and seven lambs of a year old, without blemish.
3 And for their sacrifices, three tenths of flour tempered with oil to every calf, two tenths to a ram,
4 One tenth to a lamb, which in all are seven lambs:
5 And a buck goat for sin, which is offered for the expiation of the people,
6 Besides the holocaust of the first day of the month with the sacrifices thereof, and the perpetual holocaust with the accustomed libations. With the same ceremonies you shall offer a burnt sacrifice for a most sweet odour to the Lord.
