Leviticus 23:23–25
23Then Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, 24“Speak to the Israelites, saying, ‘In the seventh month, on the first day of the month, you must have a rest period, a remembrance of the trumpet blast, a holy assembly. 25You must not do any regular work, and you shall present an offering made by fire to Yahweh.’ ”
1“ ‘On the seventh month, on the first day of the month, you will have a holy convocation; you will not do any regular work. It will be a day for you of blowing trumpets. 2You will offer a burnt offering as a fragrance of appeasement for Yahweh: one bull, one ram, and seven male lambs in their first year; they will be without defect. 3Their grain offering will be finely milled flour mixed with oil: three-tenths for the bull, two-tenths for the ram; 4and one-tenth for each of the seven male lambs; 5with one male goat for a sin offering, to make atonement for you, 6in addition to the burnt offering of the new moon and its grain offering, the continual burnt offering and its grain offering, and their libations, according to their stipulations, as a fragrance of appeasement by fire for Yahweh.

The psalm ends with a call for repentance, reminding the people to call upon the Lord as those in Egypt did ().
