But ye shall offer a sacrifice made by fire for a burnt offering unto the LORD; two young bullocks, and one ram, and seven lambs of the first year: they shall be unto you without blemish:
Instead, you must present a fire offering as a burnt sacrifice to the LORD: two young bulls, one ram, and seven one-year-old lambs. All of these animals must be perfect, without any defects.
