The Sacrifices at the Festival of Trumpets

(Leviticus 23.23-25)

The Lord said:

29 On the first day of the seventh month,^[a] you must rest from your work and come together to celebrate at the sound of the trumpets. ² Bring to the altar one bull, one full-grown ram, and seven rams a year old that have nothing wrong with them. And then offer these as sacrifices to please me.^{[b] 3} Three kilograms of your finest flour mixed with olive oil must be offered with the bull as a grain sacrifice. Two kilograms of flour mixed with oil must be offered with the ram, ⁴ and one kilogram of flour mixed with oil must be offered with each of the young rams. ⁵ You must also offer a goat^[c] as a sacrifice for sin. ⁶ These sacrifices will be made in addition to the regular daily sacrifices^[d] and the sacrifices for the first day of the month.^[e] The smoke from these sacrifices will please me.
