(Leviticus 23:23–25)
1
“Now the first day of the seventh month also shall be venerable and holy to you. In it, you shall not do any servile work, because it is the day of the sounding of the trumpets.
2
And you shall offer a holocaust, as a most sweet odor to the Lord: one calf from the herd, one ram, and seven immaculate one-year-old lambs;
3
and, as their sacrifices, fine wheat flour sprinkled with oil: three tenths for each calf, two tenths for a ram,
4
one tenth for a lamb, which all together are seven lambs;
5
and a he-goat for sin, which is offered as an expiation for the people,
6
aside from the holocaust of the first day of the month with its sacrifices, and the perpetual holocaust with the usual libations. By these same ceremonies, you shall offer incense as a most sweet odor to the Lord.
The Day of Atonement
(Leviticus 16:1–34; Leviticus 23:26–32)
7
Likewise, the tenth day of this seventh month shall be for you holy and venerable, and you shall afflict your souls. You shall do no servile work in it.
8
And you shall offer a holocaust to the Lord, as a most sweet odor: one calf from the herd, one ram, seven immaculate one-year-old lambs;
9
and for their sacrifices, fine wheat flour sprinkled with oil: three tenths for each calf, two tenths for a ram,
10
one tenth for each lamb, which are all together seven lambs;
11
and a he-goat for sin, apart from those things which are usually offered for offenses as an expiation, and as a perpetual holocaust, with their sacrifice and libations.

(Deuteronomy 16:13–17)
