Context of Numbers 28:25
23Offer these in addition to the morning burnt offering. 24Bring all these offerings on each of the seven days. They are food. They are offerings by fire, a soothing aroma to the Lord. They will be offered in addition to the daily burnt offering and the wine offering that goes with it. On the seventh day you must have a holy assembly. You must not do any regular work. 26“During the Festival of Weeks, you must have a holy assembly. On that day you must not do any regular work. Bring the Lord your new grain offering, the first produce harvested from your fields. 27Bring a burnt offering as a soothing aroma to the Lord—two young bulls, one ram, and seven one-year-old lambs.
