Blowing of the trumpet

29 The first day of the seventh month[a] will be a holy occasion for you. You will not do any job-related work. It will be for you a day of the trumpet’s sound. You will offer an entirely burned offering as a soothing smell to the Lord: one bull from the herd, one ram, and seven male lambs one year old, all flawless. Their grain offering will be fine flour mixed with oil, three-tenths for the bull, two-tenths for the ram, and one-tenth for each of the seven lambs. There will be one male goat for a purification offering to seek reconciliation for yourselves. This is in addition to the monthly entirely burned offering with its grain offering, and the regular entirely burned offering with its grain offering and drink offerings as prescribed. It will be a soothing smell, a food gift to the Lord.
