And in the beginnings of your months ye shall offer a burnt offering unto the LORD; two young bullocks, and one ram, seven lambs of the first year without spot — At the new moon (rosh chodesh), the offerings increase in both number and prestige: two bullocks (animals of greater value than lambs) and one ram accompany seven lambs. The new moon marks the lunar division of time, and the increased offering acknowledges the LORD's sovereignty over the calendar itself.
