Numbers 28:26-31 and Acts 1:1-5 (New Living Translation)

NUMBERS 28:26-31
OFFERINGS AT THE HARVEST FESTIVAL
26  “At the Festival of Harvest, when you present the first of your new grain to the Lord, you must call an official day for holy assembly, and you may do no ordinary work on that day.
27  Present a special burnt offering on that day as a pleasing aroma to the Lord. It will consist of two young bulls, one ram, and seven one-year-old male lambs.
28  These will be accompanied by grain offerings of choice flour moistened with olive oil—six quarts with each bull, four quarts with the ram,
29  and two quarts with each of the seven lambs.
30  Also, offer one male goat to purify yourselves and make yourselves right with the Lord.
31  Prepare these special burnt offerings, along with their liquid offerings, in addition to the regular burnt offering and its accompanying grain offering. Be sure that all the animals you sacrifice have no defects.

ACTS 1:1-5
THE PROMISE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT
1  In my first book I told you, Theophilus, about everything Jesus began to do and teach 
2  until the day he was taken up to heaven after giving his chosen apostles further instructions through the Holy Spirit. 
3  During the forty days after his crucifixion, he appeared to the apostles from time to time, and he proved to them in many ways that he was actually alive. And he talked to them about the Kingdom of God.
4  Once when He was eating with them, He commanded them, “Do not leave Jerusalem until the Father sends you the gift he promised, as I told you before. 
5  John baptized with water, but in just a few days you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit.”
