וְהִקְרַבְתֶּם אִשֶּׁה עֹלָה לַה׳ פָּרִים בְּנֵי־בָקָר שְׁנַיִם וְאַיִל אֶחָד וְשִׁבְעָה כְבָשִׂים בְּנֵי שָׁנָה תְמִימִם יִהְיוּ לָכֶם׃

And you shall present a fire-offering, a burnt offering to Hashem: two bulls of the herd, one ram, and seven lambs a year old; they shall be without blemish for you.
