Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Numbers 29:1-11

There were more sacred solemnities in the seventh month than in any other month of the year, not only because it had been the first month till the deliverance of Israel out of Egypt (which, falling in the month Abib, occasioned that to be thenceforth made the beginning of the months in all ecclesiastical computations), but because still it continued the first month in the civil reckonings of the jubilees and years of release, and also because it was the time of vacation between harvest and... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Numbers 29:1-40

Amounts for the yearly offerings (28:1-29:40)As the time drew near for the Israelites to settle in their new land, Moses stressed the need for constant devotion to God through the various sacrifices and festivals. First there were to be daily burnt offerings and cereal offerings, morning and evening. The fire on the altar was never to go out (28:1-8; see notes on Leviticus 6:8-13,Leviticus 6:19-23).Besides this daily offering there was an identical weekly offering every Sabbath (9-10). Also... read more

William Nicoll

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Numbers 29:1-40

OFFERINGS AND VOWSNumbers 28:1-31; Numbers 29:1-40; Numbers 30:1-16THE legislation of chapters 28-30 appears to belong to a time of developed ritual and organised society. Parallel passages in Exodus and Leviticus treating of the feasts and offerings are by no means so full in their details, nor do they even mention some of the sacrifices here made statutory. The observances of New Moon are enjoined in the Book of Numbers alone. In chapter 15 they are simply noticed; here the order is fixed.... read more
