The Five Offerings Offerings Daily the priest offered 1 lamb in the morning service and 1 lamb in the evening service. On a Sabbath, 2 additional lambs were offered after the morning service. Seven high days are designated in Leviticus 23 (verses 7, 8, 21, 25, 28, 30-32, 35-36). These high days are Sabbaths. They were to be treated like the seventh day Sabbath, even though they could occur on a day other than the seventh day (Saturday) of the week - which was the normal Jewish Sabbath. On a high day, besides the daily regular offerings, the priest offered 2 additional lambs after the morning service, and additional sacrificies for the day. These seven high days were: The 1st day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread (Nisan 15) The 7th day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread (Nisan 21) The Feast of Weeks (Sivan 6) The Feast of Trumpets (Tishri 1) The Day of Atonement (Tishri 10) The 1st day of the Feast of Tabernacles (Tishri 15) The Last Great Day (Tishri 22) Besides the daily regular offerings, additional sacrifices were offered on special festivals: Festival Burnt Offering Sin Offering Bulls Rams Lambs Goat New moon 2 1 7 1 Feast of Unleavened Bread 2 1 7 1 (7 days total) (14) (7) (49) (7) Feast of Weeks 2* 1* 7 1 Feast of Trumpets 1 1 7 1 The Day of Atonement (see notes) 1 1 7 1 Feast of Tabernacles - Day 1 13 2 14 1 Feast of Tabernacles - Day 2 12 2 14 1 Feast of Tabernacles - Day 3 11 2 14 1 Feast of Tabernacles - Day 4 10 2 14 1 Feast of Tabernacles - Day 5 9 2 14 1 Feast of Tabernacles - Day 6 8 2 14 1 Feast of Tabernacles - Day 7 7 2 14 1 (7 days total) (70) (14) (98) (7) The Last Great Day 1 1 7 1 The burnt offerings were offered along with their grain offerings and drink offerings. * Feast of Weeks (Pentecost): Numbers 28:27 recorded 2 bulls and 1 ram, but Leviticus 23:18 recorded 1 bull and 2 rams. Notes - Special Offering on The Day of Atonement Normally a bull was offered as sin offering for the whole congregation (Leviticus 4:13-14). But once a year on the Day of Atonement, a goat was offered instead. And for the High Priest, a bull was offered as sin offering (Leviticus 16:14-15). Another live goat, or the scapegoat, was to be sent to the wilderness (Leviticus 16:20-22). These were the special offerings during the atonement ceremony. Besides the regular daily offering and atonement sin offerings, one bull, one ram and seven lambs were also offered (Numbers 29:7-11).
