Numbers 29:33-40 NIV

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Numbers 29:12-40

Soon after the day of atonement, that day in which men were to afflict their souls, followed the feast of tabernacles, in which they were to rejoice before the Lord; for those that sow in tears shall soon reap in joy. To the former laws about this feast, which we had, Lev. 23:34-44, here are added directions about the offerings by fire, which they were to offer unto the Lord during the seven days of that feast, Lev. 23:36. Observe here, 1. Their days of rejoicing were to be days of sacrifices.... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Numbers 29:13-34

And ye shall offer a burnt offering ,.... That is, on the first of the seven days, which was as follows: thirteen young bullocks, two rams, and fourteen lambs of the first year, they shall be without blemish ; a very large sacrifice indeed, for these were offered besides one kid of the goats, for a sin offering, and the two lambs of the daily sacrifice, which were not omitted on account of this extraordinary offering; so that there were no less than thirty two animals sacrificed on this... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Numbers 29:35

On the eighth day ye shall have a solemn assembly ,.... The day after the seven days of the feast of tabernacles were ended; for this was not properly a part of that feast, but was a sort of appendage to it: ye shall do no servile work therein ; See Gill on Leviticus 23:36 . read more

But ye shall offer a burnt offering ,.... Which was the same that was offered on the first and tenth days of this month, Numbers 29:2 and the meat and drink offerings for each of the creatures were the same, as often expressed; and on this day a goat for a sin offering was also offered, besides the daily sacrifice, and what went along with that. read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Numbers 29:39

These things ye shall do to the Lord, in your set feasts ,.... Or rather in the times set and appointed to you, as the Jewish writers F15 Maimon. & Bartenora in Misn. Pesach, c. 7. sect. 4. interpret it; and so Jarchi interprets it of a fixed time, which seems better; since these were not all feast days, on which the above sacrifices were to be offered, for one of them was a fast, even the day of atonement: besides your vows, and your freewill offerings : which might be offered... read more

And Moses told the children of Israel ,.... All these things; repeated the several laws unto them concerning the above sacrifices, with the additions unto them, and explanations of them: according to all that the Lord commanded Moses ; being a faithful servant to the Lord in all his house, and in all things appertaining to it. read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Numbers 29:35

On the eighth day ye shall have a solemn assembly - This among the Jews was esteemed the chief or high day of the feast, though fewer sacrifices were offered on it than on the others; the people seem to have finished the solemnity with a greater measure of spiritual devotion, and it was on this day of the feast that our blessed Lord called the Jews from the letter to the spirit of the law, proposing himself as the sole fountain whence they could derive the streams of salvation, John 7:37 .... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Numbers 29:12-34

Feast of tabernacles: compare Leviticus 23:33 ff. The offerings required at this feast were the largest of all. It was especially one of thankfulness to God for the gift of the fruits of the earth; and the quantity and the nature of the offerings (see Numbers 29:7-11) were determined accordingly.Numbers 29:32Stress is laid on the number seven, the holy symbolic covenant number, by way of intimation that the mercies of the harvest accrued by virtue of God’s covenant. The diminishing number of... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Numbers 29:35-38

The offerings prescribed for the closing day of the Feast of tabernacles were the same with those appointed for the Feast of Trumpets and the Day of Atonement. The solemnities of the month thus terminated, asA whole, with the same sacrifices with which, three weeks before, they had been introduced; and the Day of Atonement, even though succeeded by the rejoicings of the Feast of tabernacles, thus left its impress on the whole month. read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Numbers 29:36

Numbers 29:36. One bullock, one ram, &c. This was the last and great day of the feast, (John 7:37,) and yet the sacrifices were fewer than on any other day; which served both to render the public worship less toilsome and expensive, and to teach them not to trust in the multitude of their sacrifices, nor to expect remission of sins from them, but from the one and only sacrifice of the Messiah, in consequence of repentance and faith in him. read more
