James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Numbers 29:1-40

BALAAM ’S SCHEME We are not through with the “hireling” prophet. We find him referred to in three places in the New Testament. 2 Peter 2:15 speaks of his “way,” Jude 1:11 of his “error” and Revelation 2:14 of his “doctrine.” His way is that which characterizes all false teachers, viz: making a market of their gifts. His error lay in failing to see the principle of the vicarious atonement by which God can be just and yet the justifier of believing sinners (Romans 3:26 ). In other words, he... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Numbers 29:12-38

This feast of tabernacles immediately followed the day of atonement, and no doubt in the appointment, a precious doctrine was contained. There is, indeed, cause of joy, even holy joy and rapture ahead, when through the blood of atonement, we have peace with GOD through JESUS. CHRIST our LORD. See GOD'S command to this effect, Isaiah 40:1-2 . I again refer the Reader to what was before said on this solemnity, Leviticus 23:34-44 . But, as the Reader will find in comparing that scripture with... read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Numbers 29:12-40

12-40 Soon after the day of atonement, the day in which men were to afflict their souls, followed the feast of Tabernacles, in which they were to rejoice before the Lord. Their days of rejoicing were to be days of sacrifices. A disposition to be cheerful does us good, when it encourages our hearts in the duties of God's service. All the days of dwelling in booths they must offer sacrifices; while we are here in a tabernacle state, it is our interest, as well as our duty, constantly to keep up... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Numbers 29:1-40

Continuing the laws concerning the feasts as they governed the year, the celebrations of the autumn were next dealt with. Three feasts are mentioned -First, the feast of Trumpets (verses Num 29:1-6 ), then the great day of Atonement (verses Num 29:7-11 ), and, finally, more particularly described here than any of the others or than elsewhere, the feast of Tabernacles (verses Num 29:12-40 ). A study of these arrangements will show again how the increase in sacrifices noticed from the daily... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Numbers 29:12-40

The Feast Of The Harvest Moon - Tabernacles (Numbers 29:12-40 ). The climax of the festival year was the Feast of Tabernacles. It was at that feast that every seven years the whole of Israel were to gather for the reading of the full covenant (Deuteronomy 31:10-13). It was to include men, women, children and resident aliens. But every year it was to be special. The multiplicity of offerings including seventy young ox bulls, fourteen rams and ninety eight (seven times seven times 2) he-lambs... read more

Numbers 28-29. The Nature and Amount of the Offerings Required on various Holy Days.— The quantities prescribed for special festivals did not exhaust all the sacrifices offered upon them: on every festival the special sacrifices were supplemented by the daily offerings; on the first of the seventh month the distinctive offerings were supplemented by the offerings required for the first of each ordinary month; whilst on the tenth of the seventh month the sin offering of atonement (Leviticus... read more

Joseph Exell

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Numbers 29:1-40

CRITICAL AND EXPLANATORY NOTESIn this chapter we have directions concerning three great annual religious occasions, the Feast of Trumpets, the Day of Atonement, and the Feast of Tabernacles. Each of these had been previously instituted; and the chief reason of their mention here is for the enumeration of the sacrifices to be offered upon each occasion. The chief treatment of the topics which these occasions suggest will be found in other volumes of The Preacher’s Commentary, chiefly in that... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Numbers 29:1-40

Let's turn in our Bible to Numbers chapter twenty-nine.Beginning in chapter twenty-eight, Moses gave to them the various sacrifices that were to be offered every day, and then the sacrifices that were to be offered on the Sabbath day, the extra sacrifices on the Sabbath day. And then the extra sacrifices even more that were on the first day of every month.
