Numbers 28:19
17 On the fifteenth day of this month, there shall be a feast; for seven days unleavened bread is to be eaten.
18 On the first day there is to be a sacred assembly; you must not do any regular work.
Present to the LORD an offering made by fire, a burnt offering of two young bulls, one ram, and seven male lambs a year old, all unblemished.
20 The grain offering shall consist of fine flour mixed with oil; offer three-tenths of an ephah with each bull, two-tenths of an ephah with the ram,
21 and a tenth of an ephah with each of the seven lambs.
This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
