Context of Numbers 28:20
18And on the first day there is to be a holy assembly; you must do no ordinary work on it. 19“‘But you must offer to the Lord an offering made by fire, a burnt offering of two young bulls, one ram, and seven lambs one year old; they must all be unblemished. And their grain offering is to be of finely ground flour mixed with olive oil. For each bull you must offer three-tenths of an ephah, and two-tenths for the ram. 21For each of the seven lambs you are to offer one-tenth of an ephah, 22as well as one goat for a purification offering, to make atonement for you.
