Midrasch zu Wajikra 23:36
שִׁבְעַ֣ת יָמִ֔ים תַּקְרִ֥יבוּ אִשֶּׁ֖ה לַיהוָ֑ה בַּיּ֣וֹם הַשְּׁמִינִ֡י מִקְרָא־קֹדֶשׁ֩ יִהְיֶ֨ה לָכֶ֜ם וְהִקְרַבְתֶּ֨ם אִשֶּׁ֤ה לַֽיהוָה֙ עֲצֶ֣רֶת הִ֔וא כָּל־מְלֶ֥אכֶת עֲבֹדָ֖ה לֹ֥א תַעֲשֽׂוּ׃
Sieben Tage sollt ihr darbringen Feueropfer dem Herrn; am achten Tage sei euch heilige Berufung und bringet dar ein Feueropfer dem Herrn, es ist Festversammlung, keinerlei Arbeitsverrichtung sollt ihr tun.

Sifra
5) (Vayikra 23:8) "And you shall present a fire-offering to the L–rd for seven days." Whence is it derived that if you have no bullocks, bring rams; if you have no rams, bring sheep; if you have no clean ones, bring unclean ones? From "And you shall present a fire-offering to the L–rd" — in any event.
