Numbers
29:1 ¶ And in the seventh month, on the
first day of the month, ye shall have an holy convocation; ye shall do
no servile work: it is a day of blowing the trumpets unto you. 2 And ye shall offer a burnt offering for a
sweet savour unto the LORD; one young bullock, one ram, and seven lambs
of the first year without blemish: 3 And
their meat offering shall be of flour mingled with oil, three tenth
deals for a bullock, and two tenth deals for a ram, 4 And one tenth deal for one lamb, throughout
the seven lambs: 5 And one kid of the
goats for a sin offering, to make an atonement for you: 6 Beside the burnt offering of the month, and
his meat offering, and the daily burnt offering, and his meat offering, and
their drink offerings, according unto their manner, for a sweet savour, a
sacrifice made by fire unto the LORD. 7
And ye shall have on the tenth day of this seventh month an holy
convocation; and ye shall afflict your souls: ye shall not do any work therein:
8 But ye shall offer a burnt offering
unto the LORD for a sweet savour; one young bullock, one ram, and
seven lambs of the first year; they shall be unto you without blemish: 9 And their meat offering shall be of
flour mingled with oil, three tenth deals to a bullock, and two tenth
deals to one ram, 10 A several tenth
deal for one lamb, throughout the seven lambs: 11 One kid of the goats for a sin offering;
beside the sin offering of atonement, and the continual burnt offering, and the
meat offering of it, and their drink offerings.
This passage begins
with the feast of trumpets with the timing and instructions for the first day
of the seventh month. Then, the day of atonement on the tenth day is ordered.
Numbers
29:12 ¶ And on the fifteenth day of the
seventh month ye shall have an holy convocation; ye shall do no servile work,
and ye shall keep a feast unto the LORD seven days: 13 And ye shall offer a burnt offering, a
sacrifice made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the LORD; thirteen young
bullocks, two rams, and fourteen lambs of the first year; they shall be
without blemish: 14 And their meat
offering shall be of flour mingled with oil, three tenth deals unto
every bullock of the thirteen bullocks, two tenth deals to each ram of the two
rams, 15 And a several tenth deal to
each lamb of the fourteen lambs: 16 And
one kid of the goats for a sin offering; beside the continual burnt
offering, his meat offering, and his drink offering. 17 And on the second day ye shall offer
twelve young bullocks, two rams, fourteen lambs of the first year without spot:
18 And their meat offering and their
drink offerings for the bullocks, for the rams, and for the lambs, shall be
according to their number, after the manner: 19
And one kid of the goats for a sin offering; beside the continual
burnt offering, and the meat offering thereof, and their drink offerings.
20 And on the third day eleven bullocks,
two rams, fourteen lambs of the first year without blemish; 21 And their meat offering and their drink
offerings for the bullocks, for the rams, and for the lambs, shall be
according to their number, after the manner: 22
And one goat for a sin offering; beside the continual burnt
offering, and his meat offering, and his drink offering. 23 And on the fourth day ten bullocks, two rams,
and fourteen lambs of the first year without blemish: 24 Their meat offering and their drink offerings
for the bullocks, for the rams, and for the lambs, shall be according to
their number, after the manner: 25 And
one kid of the goats for a sin offering; beside the continual burnt
offering, his meat offering, and his drink offering. 26 And on the fifth day nine bullocks, two rams,
and fourteen lambs of the first year without spot: 27 And their meat offering and
their
drink offerings for the bullocks, for the rams, and for the lambs, shall be
according to their number, after the manner: 28
And one goat for a sin offering; beside the continual burnt
offering, and his meat offering, and his drink offering. 29 And on the sixth day eight bullocks, two
rams, and fourteen lambs of the first year without blemish: 30 And their meat offering and their drink
offerings for the bullocks, for the rams, and for the lambs, shall be
according to their number, after the manner: 31
And one goat for a sin offering; beside the continual burnt
offering, his meat offering, and his drink offering. 32 And on the seventh day seven bullocks, two
rams, and fourteen lambs of the first year without blemish: 33 And their meat offering and their drink
offerings for the bullocks, for the rams, and for the lambs, shall be
according to their number, after the manner: 34
And one goat for a sin offering; beside the continual burnt
offering, his meat offering, and his drink offering. 35 On the eighth day ye shall have a solemn
assembly: ye shall do no servile work therein: 36 But ye shall offer a burnt offering, a
sacrifice made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the LORD: one bullock, one ram,
seven lambs of the first year without blemish: 37 Their meat offering and their drink offerings
for the bullock, for the ram, and for the lambs, shall be according to
their number, after the manner: 38 And
one goat for a
sin
offering; beside the continual burnt offering, and his meat offering, and his
drink offering. 39 These things
ye shall do unto the LORD in your set feasts, beside your vows, and your
freewill offerings, for your burnt offerings, and for your meat offerings, and
for your drink offerings, and for your peace offerings. 40 And Moses told the children of Israel
according to all that the LORD commanded Moses.
Matthew Henry points
out that soon after the day of atonement when men must afflict their souls comes
the Feast of Tabernacles, a time of rejoicing, denoting the proper order of our
Christian walk. We acknowledge and mourn for our sin and repent then we have
the joy that comes with the assurance of eternal life with Christ. I would say
that a sacrifice of prayer and praise would be appropriate in both times just
as physical sacrifices are demanded here.
