You shall present with the bread seven lambs without blemish a year old, and one young bull, and two rams: they shall be a burnt offering to Yahweh, with their meal-offering, and their drink-offerings, even an offering made by fire, of a sweet savor to Yahweh.

A Day of Lavish Offerings

Commentators address an apparent contradiction between this verse (one bull, two rams) and Numbers 28 (two bulls, one ram). They explain these were not conflicting accounts but two separate sets of offerings. One set was for the Feast of Weeks itself, and the other specifically accompanied the offering of the firstfruits loaves, demonstrating the exceptional significance and lavish worship required for this day.
