What happens here

Atlas's own reading, written from this chapter and nothing else, and published only once a person has approved it. Each scene names the verses it covers; the names inside it link to the people and places they name.

For seven days the bulls march downward in perfect order—from thirteen to seven—while the rams stay at two and the lambs at fourteen; the chapter gives the numbers with admirable precision and leaves the reason entirely alone.

Three appointed daysvv. 1–11

The seventh month opens with trumpets, a sacred assembly, and no regular work. On the first day come one bull, one ram, seven lambs, and a goat; on the tenth, the same creatures return, with the people humbled and another sin offering added to the regular offerings. The monthly and daily offerings continue quietly in the background, as though the calendar has hired a very exact clerk.

The bulls descendvv. 12–34

The seven-day feast begins on the fifteenth day with thirteen bulls, two rams, fourteen lambs, and one goat. Then the bulls decrease by one each day: twelve, eleven, ten, nine, eight, and seven. The rams and lambs refuse this arithmetic entirely, remaining at two and fourteen; the goat also appears each day, with the regular offerings keeping pace. The text supplies the descending procession but not its reason.

The eighth dayvv. 35–40

After seven days of feasting comes an eighth-day solemn assembly, with no regular work. The offering resets to one bull, one ram, and seven lambs—the same animal count as the first day of the month—along with a goat and the regular offerings. Everything is then gathered into the appointed times, including vows, freewill offerings, and peace offerings, and Moses speaks it all to Israel exactly as commanded.

Who else the chapter reaches

Names written in the English are linked in the text above. These are the ones that are not: an entity the Hebrew or Greek names under a spelling the translation does not use, or one reached only by an assertion about a verse of this chapter.

Named in the Hebrew or Greek somewhere in this chapter, under a form the English renders differently — the registry's Ludim against the translation's Ludites — so there is no word in the sentence to hang the link on.
