Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Numbers 29:1-11

1-11 There were more sacred solemnities in the seventh month than in any other. It was the space between harvest and seed-time. The more leisure we have from the pressing occupations of this life, the more time we should spend in the immediate service of God. The blowing of the trumpets was appointed, Leviticus 22:24. Here they are directed what sacrifices to offer on that day. Those who would know the mind of God in the Scriptures, must compare one part with another. The latter discoveries of... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Numbers 29:7-11

On the day of Atonement v. 7. And ye shall have on the tenth day of this seventh month, on the great Day of Atonement, an holy convocation, for this was the most solemn day in the entire year, a day of deep humiliation and fasting: and ye shall afflict your souls. Ye shall not do any work therein, v. 8. but ye shall offer a burnt offering unto the Lord for a sweet savor: one young bullock, one ram, and seven lambs of the first year; they shall be unto you without blemish; v. 9. and their... read more

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 ).

Peter Pett

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

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.
