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

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

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Numbers 29:36

This was the last and great day of the feast, as it is called John 7:37, and yet the sacrifices were fewer than any other day, to teach them not to trust to the multitude of their sacrifices, nor to expect remission of sins from them, but from the one and only sacrifice of Christ. read more

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

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.

Numbers 29:39 . Beside your vows, and your free-will offerings, for your peace-offerings. See Leviticus 7:11; Leviticus 7:16; Leviticus 22:21-23. REFLECTIONS. This and the preseding chapter refer to the whole Leviticum; and it appears that the appointed regular sacrifices consumed on the altar in one year, amounted to a thousand lambs, one hundred and twelve bullocks, thirty seven rams, and thirty goats or kids. To these were added one hundred bushels of flour, with oil; one hundred and... read more

Numbers 29:12-40The fifteenth day of the seventh month. The Feast of TabernaclesIt is called the Feast of Tabernacles because during the days of this feast they were to live in tents or tabernacles, it being a memorial of God’s preserving of them in the wilderness where was no house for them in which to rest. This was a most holy feast to remember them when they had no dwellings, and therefore Moses doth so largely dwell upon the solemnities of it ; then they were especially enjoined to read... read more
