But ye shall offer a burnt offering unto the Lord,.... Which is the same as ordered to be offered on the first day, Num 29:2. Aben Ezra is of opinion that the ram here is different from those in Lev 16:3.

This site's exposition

ye shall afflict your souls

on Numbers 29:7-11

The tenth day is the day of atonement, and afflict your souls is the one fast the law commands. Leviticus 16 gives the ceremony with the two goats and the entry behind the veil, and Numbers gives the burnt offering that goes beside it, the same bullock, ram and seven lambs brought on the first of the month. Verse 11 then asks for a kid of the goats for a sin offering beside the sin offering of atonement, so a sin offering is required on the day the nation's sin is put away. Hebrews 10:1-4 takes up that repetition by name and says the blood of bulls and of goats cannot take away sins.

Its institution, together with the observance to which that day was devoted, was described (Le 16:29, 30). But additional offerings seem to be noticed, namely, the large animal sacrifice for a general expiation, which was a sweet savor unto the Lord, and the sin offering to atone for the sins that mingled with that day's services.
