L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - Numbers 29:1-40

OFFERINGS AT THE FEAST OF TRUMPETS (vs.1-6) About four months passed by before the Feast of Trumpets took place.

Eighth day, which was more solemn than the preceding ones, but less so than the first. The victims are every day diminished. (Calmet) --- This day, in the Hebrew calendar, is called the feast of retention, ( atsroth ) as they staid near the tabernacle. (Du Hamel) read more
