Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Numbers 29:1

1. in the seventh month—of the ecclesiastical year, but the first month of the civil year, corresponding to our September. It was, in fact, the New Year's Day, which had been celebrated among the Hebrews and other contemporary nations with great festivity and joy and ushered in by a flourish of trumpets. This ordinance was designed to give a religious character to the occasion by associating it with some solemn observances. (Compare Exodus 12:2; Leviticus 23:24). it is a day of blowing the... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Numbers 29:1-40

The Feast of Tabernacles, beginning on the fifteenth day of the month and lasting eight days. The sacrifices... read more

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Numbers 29:1-40

OFFERINGS AND VOWSNumbers 28:1-31; Numbers 29:1-40; Numbers 30:1-16THE legislation of chapters 28-30 appears to belong to a time of developed ritual and organised society. Parallel passages in Exodus and Leviticus treating of the feasts and offerings are by no means so full in their details, nor do they even mention some of the sacrifices here made statutory. The observances of New Moon are enjoined in the Book of Numbers alone. In chapter 15 they are simply noticed; here the order is fixed.... read more

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. This illustrates the long time elapsing following Pentecost which introduced the extended dispensation of the grace of God, while Israel has been in a state of unbelief. But the Feast of Trumpets symbolizes the regathering of Israel to their land as is noted in Matthew 24:31: "And He will send His angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they will gather together His elect from... read more

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Numbers 29:1-40

BALAAM ’S SCHEME We are not through with the “hireling” prophet. We find him referred to in three places in the New Testament. 2 Peter 2:15 speaks of his “way,” Jude 1:11 of his “error” and Revelation 2:14 of his “doctrine.” His way is that which characterizes all false teachers, viz: making a market of their gifts. His error lay in failing to see the principle of the vicarious atonement by which God can be just and yet the justifier of believing sinners (Romans 3:26 ). In other words, he... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Numbers 29:1-6

Concerning this feast of trumpets, which had so much in it of a gospel signification, when the great trumpet of salvation should be blown, and they should come which were ready to perish; I do not think it necessary to swell this Commentary, by repeating observation, which have been already offered in it, I only refer the Reader to what was said on Leviticus 23:0 , from Leviticus 23:23 , and to the Chapter itself, that by comparing scripture with scripture, the instructions conveyed under both... read more

The first. This day was doubly solemn, as being the first day of the month, consequently entitled to all the sacrifices enjoined for it; and also a holiday, for which other victims are requisite, besides the perpetual holocausts, ver. 2, 6., and chap. xxviii. 11. (Haydock) read more
