16 'And in the first month, in the fourteenth day of the month, 'is' the passover to Jehovah; 17 and in the fifteenth day of this month 'is' a festival, seven days unleavened food is eaten; 18 in the first day 'is' an holy convocation, ye do no servile work, 19 and ye have brought near a fire-offering, a burnt-offering to Jehovah: two bullocks, sons of the herd, and one ram, and seven lambs, sons of a year, perfect ones they are for you; 20 and their present, flour mixed with oil, three-tenth deals for a bullock, and two-tenth deals for a ram ye do prepare; 21 a several tenth deal thou preparest for the one lamb, for the seven lambs, 22 and one goat, a sin-offering, to make atonement for you. 23 'Apart from the burnt-offering of the morning, which 'is' for the continual burnt-offering, ye prepare these; 24 according to these ye prepare daily, seven days, bread of a fire-offering, a sweet fragrance, to Jehovah; besides the continual burnt-offering it is prepared, and its libation; 25 and on the seventh day a holy convocation ye have, ye do no servile work. 26 'And in the day of the first-fruits, in your bringing near a new present to Jehovah, in your weeks, a holy convocation ye have; ye do no servile work; 27 and ye have brought near a burnt-offering for sweet fragrance to Jehovah: two bullocks, sons of the herd, one ram, seven lambs, sons of a year, 28 and their present, flour mixed with oil, three-tenth deals to the one bullock, two-tenth deals to the one ram, 29 a several tenth deal to the one lamb, for the seven lambs; 30 one kid of the goats to make atonement for you; 31 apart from the continual burnt-offering and its present ye prepare 'them' (perfect ones they are for you) and their libations.

Commentary on Numbers 28:16-31
(Read Numbers 28:16-31)
By the sacrifices enjoined in this chapter, we are reminded of the continued power of the sacrifice of Christ, and of our continual need to depend thereon. No hurrying employments, or perilous situations, or prosperous circumstances, should cause slackness in our religious exercises; but should rather stir us up to greater diligence in seeking help from, or giving thanks to the Lord. And all is to be accompanied with repentance, faith is the Lord Jesus, and love to him, and to produce true holiness in our conduct towards all men; otherwise God will abhor our most solemn services and abundant devotions. And Christ is able to supply the wants of every day, every week, every month, every year, every ordinance, every case.
