Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Numbers 29:35-38

The offerings prescribed for the closing day of the Feast of tabernacles were the same with those appointed for the Feast of Trumpets and the Day of Atonement. The solemnities of the month thus terminated, asA whole, with the same sacrifices with which, three weeks before, they had been introduced; and the Day of Atonement, even though succeeded by the rejoicings of the Feast of tabernacles, thus left its impress on the whole month. read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Numbers 29:12

Numbers 29:12. The eighth and last of these national sacrifices, which was also annual, was to be at the feast of tabernacles, to be observed on the fifteenth day of this same seventh month, in solemn commemoration of their travels in the wilderness, and as a thanksgiving for their happy settlement in the land of Canaan: see Leviticus 23:34. Seven days Not by abstaining so long from all servile work, but by offering extraordinary sacrifices each day. For all the seven days of their dwelling... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Numbers 29:13

Numbers 29:13. Thirteen young bullocks Thus they continued to be offered seven days successively, with the decrease only of one bullock every day, till on the seventh day only seven bullocks were offered, which in all made seventy bullocks. The rams also were in double proportion to what was usual. This was a vast charge, but more easy at this time of the year than at any other; for this was a time of leisure and plenty; now their barns were full, their wine-presses overflowed, and their... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Numbers 29:36

Numbers 29:36. One bullock, one ram, &c. This was the last and great day of the feast, (John 7:37,) and yet the sacrifices were fewer than on any other day; which served both to render the public worship less toilsome and expensive, and to teach them not to trust in the multitude of their sacrifices, nor to expect remission of sins from them, but from the one and only sacrifice of the Messiah, in consequence of repentance and faith in him. read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Numbers 29:39

Numbers 29:39. Besides your vows and free-will-offerings Your ordinary sacrifices shall not be omitted because of the extraordinary, which ye offer on special occasions.

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
