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 29:1-6

Chapter 29 The Feasts of the Seventh Month. The seventh moon period contained within itself parallel ceremonies to those which took place in the first three moon periods. Each began with a special day, Passover and Atonement, these were then followed by a seven day feast, Unleavened Bread and Tabernacles, and both concluded with a special one day feast, Firstfruits and the Eighth Day. This confirms how special the seventh month was. Once in the land (and already in Gilead and Bashan) it would... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Numbers 29:7-11

The Day of Atonement (Numbers 29:7-11 ). Sacred in the Israelite calendar was the Day of Atonement on the tenth day of the seventh month. It was a day of affliction of the person (compare Leviticus 16:29), although we are never told in what way. On this day they were to ‘afflict themselves’. This probably represented some form of indicating penitence, although we are not told what it was. It may have been the loosening of the hair, the ritual tearing of clothes, and the covering of the upper... 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

Your souls, i.e. yourselves, by fasting and abstinence from all delightful things, and by compunction and bitter sorrow for your sins, and the judgments of God either deserved by you, or inflicted upon you for your sins. See Leviticus 16:29,Leviticus 16:30; Leviticus 23:27. 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
