Numbers 29:12-40

The Voice

¹²Mid-month, on the fifteenth day of the seventh month, you shall observe another ritual marking that day’s holiness, and you won’t work. Celebrate for a full seven days a festival of Mine. ¹³Prepare another burnt offering of animals that have no signs of injury or illness—thirteen bull calves, two rams, and fourteen yearling lambs. ^14-16Make your grain offerings as you always do for each of the animals offered; include the sin-offering goat. These, again, are in addition to the regular burnt offerings with their respective grain and drink offerings.

¹⁷On the second day of that week-long festival in the middle of the seventh month, offer twelve bull calves, two rams, and fourteen male yearling lambs—all unblemished— ¹⁸along with the grain offerings in amounts coordinating with each animal. ¹⁹Include the goat as a sin offering, and don’t neglect the regular offerings of meat, grain, and wine.

²⁰On the third day, offer eleven bull calves plus the two rams, fourteen male lambs, ²¹corresponding amounts of grain and drink offerings, ²²and the sin-offering male goat in addition to the usual offering. ^23-34On the fourth day, the number of young bulls that you offer should be ten; on the fifth, nine; on the sixth, eight; on the seventh, seven and on each of those days you shall also offer two rams and fourteen male lambs along the sin-offering male goat in addition to the usual offerings of burnt, grain, and drink. ³⁵On the eighth and final day, gather everyone together for a solemn ritual, and don’t do any work. ^36-38In addition to the regular gifts and the goat whose offering covers sins, offer the following by fire, sending a sweet smell to God: one bull, one ram, and seven perfect male yearling lambs. Mix up the grain offerings in proportion to each animal, and prepare the corresponding burnt, grain, and drink offerings.

³⁹These are the offerings you should give to Me when observing these particular festivals. They are not a substitute for the other required offerings—the ones accompanying certain promised vows; those you make freely; and the regular burnt, grain, and drink offerings; as well as your offerings of well-being.

⁴⁰Moses passed these instructions on to the Israelites just as the Eternal One told him to do.
