Sukkot Yom Tov (Numbers 29:12-34)
12 On the fifteenth day of the seventh month, you shall observe a sacred occasion: you shall not work at your occupations. — Seven days you shall observe a festival of the Lord. — 13 You shall present a burnt offering, an offering by fire of pleasing odor to the Lord: Thirteen bulls of the herd, two rams, fourteen yearling lambs; they shall be without blemish. 14 The meal offerings with them — of choice flour with oil mixed in — shall be: three-tenths of a measure for each of the thirteen bulls, two-tenths for each of the two rams, 15 and one-tenth for each of the fourteen lambs. 16 And there shall be one goat for a sin offering — in addition to the regular burnt offering, its meal offering and libation.
