Context of Numbers 28:18
16On the 14th day of the first month, you must eat the Lord's Passover meal. 17Day 15 is the start of a week when you must eat the flat bread. You must not put any yeast in the bread. You must do that for seven days. The first day will be a holy day and all the people must meet together. You must not work at your jobs on that day. 19And you must give an offering by fire, a burnt offering to the Lord. The offering must be two young bulls, one male sheep and seven male lambs that are one year old. But these animals must not have anything wrong with them. 20Offer the proper grain offering with each animal. Mix together 3 kilograms of the best flour and olive oil. Offer it to me with each bull. With the male sheep, offer 2 kilograms of the best flour with oil.
