John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Numbers 29:11

One kid of the goats for a sin offering ,.... This also, as it was different from that which was offered for the service of the day, so it was offered after it; as is observed by the Jewish writers, that the goat, which was offered without, though of the Musaphim, or additions, could not go before the service of the day for it is said as follows: beside the sin offering of atonement ; hence, say they, we learn, that the goat within, which was of the service of the day, went before it ... read more

On the eighth day ye shall have a solemn assembly ,.... The day after the seven days of the feast of tabernacles were ended; for this was not properly a part of that feast, but was a sort of appendage to it: ye shall do no servile work therein ; See Gill on Leviticus 23:36 . read more

But ye shall offer a burnt offering ,.... Which was the same that was offered on the first and tenth days of this month, Numbers 29:2 and the meat and drink offerings for each of the creatures were the same, as often expressed; and on this day a goat for a sin offering was also offered, besides the daily sacrifice, and what went along with that. read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Numbers 29:39

These things ye shall do to the Lord, in your set feasts ,.... Or rather in the times set and appointed to you, as the Jewish writers F15 Maimon. & Bartenora in Misn. Pesach, c. 7. sect. 4. interpret it; and so Jarchi interprets it of a fixed time, which seems better; since these were not all feast days, on which the above sacrifices were to be offered, for one of them was a fast, even the day of atonement: besides your vows, and your freewill offerings : which might be offered... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Numbers 29:1

And in the seventh month, etc. - This was the beginning of their civil year, and was a time of great festivity, and was ushered in by the blowing of trumpets. It answers to a part of our September. In imitation of the Jews different nations began their new year with sacrifices and festivity. The ancient Egyptians did so; and the Persians still celebrate their nawi rooz , or new year's day, which they hold on the vernal equinox. The first day of the year is generally a time of festivity in... read more
