Talmud for Chagigah 1:6

מִי שֶׁלֹּא חַג בְּיוֹם טוֹב הָרִאשׁוֹן שֶׁל חָג, חוֹגֵג אֶת כָּל הָרֶגֶל וְיוֹם טוֹב הָאַחֲרוֹן שֶׁל חָג. עָבַר הָרֶגֶל וְלֹא חַג, אֵינוֹ חַיָּב בְּאַחֲרָיוּתוֹ. עַל זֶה נֶאֱמַר (קהלת א) מְעֻוָּת לֹא יוּכַל לִתְקֹן, וְחֶסְרוֹן לֹא יוּכַל לְהִמָּנוֹת:

If one did not bring the offerings [his festival peace-offerings and his burnt-offering of "seeing"], he may bring them the entire festival and the last yom tov of Succoth [Shemini Atzereth. Even though it is a festival in itself, it satisfies payment for the first day. And Shavuoth, too, even though it is only one day, payment can be made all seven, Scripture likening all festivals to each other, viz. (Deuteronomy 16:16): "on the festival of matzoth, and on the festival of Shavuoth, and on the festival of Succoth." Just as with the festival of matzoth payment can be satisfied all seven days, so with the festival of Shavuoth.] If the festival passed and he did not bring the offering, he need not make restitution. Of this it is written (Koheleth 1:15): "The crooked cannot be straightened and the lacking cannot be numbered."

Jerusalem Talmud Sukkah

MISHNAH: On the first holiday of Tabernacles there were thirteen bulls, and two rams, and one goat. There remained there fourteen sheep for eight watches¹²⁵The families of Cohanim were divided into 24 “watches” enumerated in 1Chr. 24:7–18. As stated in Halakhah 8, in principle each watch was serving for one week in the Temple, the succession being determined by the order fixed in Chronicles; after watch 24 a new cycle is started with watch 1. But on holidays, all watches are equal, since all their members are obligated to appear in the Temple with the rest of Israel. On the first day there were 16 animals other than sheep; if each animal was given to a separate watch, there remained 14 sheep for the remaining 8 watches..
On the first day, six were sacrificing two each, and the remaining, one each. On the second day, five were sacrificing two each, and the remaining, one each. On the third day, four were sacrificing two each, and the remaining, one each. On the fourth day, three were sacrificing two each, and the remaining, one each. On the fifth day, two were sacrificing two each, and the remaining, one each. On the sixth day, one was sacrificing two, and the remaining, one each¹²⁶The number of bulls decreased by one every day (Num. 29:12–31); therefore the number of watches available for the sheep increased by one every day, the number of watches getting two sheep decreased by one every day.. On the seventh day, all were equal. On the eighth day they returned to the lottery as on holidays¹²⁷The lottery, to determine which Cohen received which office in the service, as described in Yoma Chapter 2, open to all Cohanim irrespective of their watches.. They said, he who sacrificed today may not sacrifice bulls the next day, but they were taking turns¹²⁸There were 70 bulls in all during the week of Tabernacles. Therefore 22 watches had the occasion to work on 3 bulls each, but 2 watches received only two..
