Numbers Chapter
Twenty-nine
New King James Version (NKJV)
INTRODUCTION TO NUMBERS 29
In
this chapter an account is given of the various offerings on the several
remarkable days in the seventh month of the year; at the feast of blowing the
trumpets on the first day of the month, Numbers 29:1, at
the great fast or day of atonement, which was the tenth of the month, Numbers 29:7, and
at the feast of tabernacles, which began on the fifteenth day of the same
month, and continued eight days, and the sacrifices of every day are
particularly mentioned; of the first day, Numbers 29:12, of
the second day, Numbers 29:17, of
the third day, Numbers 29:20, of
the fourth day, Numbers 29:23, of
the fifth day, Numbers 29:26, of
the sixth day, Numbers 29:29, of
the seventh day, Numbers 29:32, and
of the eighth day, Numbers 29:35, which
sacrifices were to be offered, besides their vows and freewill offerings, of
which Moses gave a faithful account, according to the command of God, Numbers 29:39.
Numbers 29:1 ‘And in the seventh month, on the first day of the month, you
shall have a holy convocation. You shall do no customary work. For you it is a
day of blowing the trumpets.
YLT
1`And in the seventh month,
in the first of the month, a holy convocation ye have, ye do no servile work; a
day of shouting it is to you;
And in the seventh month,.... The month Tisri, as
the Targum of Jonathan, which answers to part of our September and October; a
month famous for days to be religiously observed, having more of them in it
than any other month in the year:
on the first day of the month, ye shall have a holy convocation; see Leviticus 23:24,
ye shall do no servile work; therefore, in the place
referred to, is called a sabbath:
it is a day of blowing the trumpets unto you; of which; see
Gill on Leviticus 23:24.
Numbers 29:2 2 You shall offer a burnt offering as a sweet aroma to
the Lord: one young bull, one ram, and seven lambs in their first
year, without blemish.
YLT
2and ye have prepared a
burnt-offering, for sweet fragrance to Jehovah: one bullock, a son of the herd,
one ram, seven lambs, sons of a year, perfect ones;
And ye shall offer a burnt offering for a sweet savour unto the
Lord,.... Which was as follows:
one young bullock, one ram, and seven lambs of the first year
without blemish, which was the same, only one bullock less, with the offerings on
the first day of the month, the seven days of unleavened bread, and the day of
the firstfruits, Numbers 28:11, Numbers 28:19, Numbers 28:27.
Numbers 29:3 3 Their grain offering shall be fine flour mixed
with oil: three-tenths of an ephah for the bull, two-tenths for the ram,
YLT
3and their present, flour
mixed with oil, three-tenth deals for the bullock, two-tenth deals for the ram,
Verses 3-5
And their meat offering,.... Which went along
with the creatures offered for a burnt offering; the quantity of flour and oil
used in it was the same, for a bullock, a ram, and each lamb, as in the
offerings at the new moons, feast of unleavened bread and the day of firstfruits,
Numbers 28:10 and a
kid of the goats was also offered for a sin offering at this time, as in those
seasons, and for the same purpose, to make atonement for the sins of their holy
things.
Numbers 29:4 4 and one-tenth for each of the seven lambs;
YLT
4and one-tenth deal for the
one lamb, for the seven lambs;
Numbers 29:5 5 also one kid of the goats as a sin offering, to
make atonement for you;
YLT
5and one kid of the goats, a
sin-offering, to make atonement for you;
Numbers 29:6 6 besides the burnt offering with its grain offering for
the New Moon, the regular burnt offering with its grain offering, and their
drink offerings, according to their ordinance, as a sweet aroma, an offering
made by fire to the Lord.
YLT
6apart from the
burnt-offering of the month, and its present, and the continual burnt-offering,
and its present, and their libations, according to their ordinance, for sweet
fragrance, a fire-offering to Jehovah.
Beside the burnt offering of the month, and his meat offering,.... The
bullock, ram, and seven lambs, were offered on this day, besides the two
bullocks, one ram, and seven lambs, which were offered on it, on account of its
being the first day of the month and besides the meat offering that went along
with them; these were not omitted on account of those additional sacrifices:
and the daily burnt offering; the two lambs of the
daily sacrifice; these also were offered as usual, so that there were offered
on this day three bullocks, two rams, and sixteen lambs:
and his meat offering, and their drink offerings, according to
their manner; these also were offered with the daily sacrifice, according to
the law and rule prescribed for the making of them, and all were
for a sweet savour, a sacrifice made by fire unto the Lord; for they were
burnt sacrifices, and very acceptable to the Lord, as they were types of the
better sacrifice, with which he is infinitely well pleased; and it is with
respect to that that such a number of sacrifices were appointed.
Numbers 29:7 7 ‘On the tenth day of this seventh month you
shall have a holy convocation. You shall afflict your souls; you shall not do
any work.
YLT
7`And on the tenth of this
seventh month a holy convocation ye have, and ye have humbled your souls; ye do
no work;
And ye shall have on the tenth day of the seventh month an holy
convocation,.... The month Tisri, as before; so the Targum of Jonathan:
and ye shall afflict your souls; or persons; their bodies
by fasting, and their souls by repentance and humiliation; for this was a grand
fast, as it is called Acts 27:9,
ye shall not do any work therein; see Leviticus 23:28.
Numbers 29:8 8 You shall present a burnt offering to the Lord as a sweet aroma: one young bull, one ram, and seven
lambs in their first year. Be sure they are without blemish.
YLT
8and ye have brought near a
burnt-offering to Jehovah, a sweet fragrance, one bullock, a son of the herd,
one ram, seven lambs, sons of a year, perfect ones they are for you,
But ye shall offer a burnt offering unto the Lord,.... Which is
the same as ordered to be offered on the first day, Numbers 29:2. Aben
Ezra is of opinion that the ram here is different from those in Leviticus 16:3.
Numbers 29:9 9 Their grain offering shall be of fine flour
mixed with oil: three-tenths of an ephah for the bull, two-tenths for
the one ram,
YLT
9and their present, flour
mixed with oil, three-tenth deals for the bullock, two-tenth deals for the one
ram,
Verse 9-10
And their meat offering,.... Which was of the
same quantity of flour and oil, for a bullock, a ram, and a lamb, as for the
meat offering on the first day of the month.
Numbers 29:10 10 and one-tenth for each of the seven lambs;
YLT
10a several tenth deal for
the one lamb, for the seven lambs,
Numbers 29:11 11 also one kid of the goats as a sin offering,
besides the sin offering for atonement, the regular burnt offering with its
grain offering, and their drink offerings.
YLT
11one kid of the goats, a
sin-offering; apart from the sin-offering of the atonements, and the continual
burnt-offering, and its present, and their libations.
One kid of the goats for a sin offering,.... This
also, as it was different from that which was offered for the service of the
day, so it was offered after it; as is observed by the Jewish writers, that the
goat, which was offered without, though of the Musaphim, or additions, could
not go before the service of the day for it is said as follows:
beside the sin offering of atonement; hence, say
they, we learn, that the goat within, which was of the service of the day, went
before itF14Bartenora in Misn. Yoma, c. 7. sect. 3. ; after that the
ram of Aaron, and the ram of the people, and after that the fat of the sin
offering:
and the continual burnt offering, and the meat offering of it, and
their drink offerings; which were never omitted on account of the service of any day,
though ever so solemn, as this was: hence it appears that there were offered on
this day of atonement two bullocks, three rams, three goats, and two lambs.
Numbers 29:12 12 ‘On the fifteenth day of the seventh month you shall
have a holy convocation. You shall do no customary work, and you shall keep a
feast to the Lord seven days.
YLT
12`And on the fifteenth day
of the seventh month a holy convocation ye have; ye do no servile work; and ye
have celebrated a festival to Jehovah seven days,
And on the fifteenth day of the seventh month ye shall have an
holy convocation,.... Of the same month Tisri, which was the seventh from Nisan or
Abib, though it was formerly the first month of the year:
ye shall do no servile work, and ye shall keep a feast unto the
Lord seven days; the feast of tabernacles, which began on the fifteenth day of
this month.
Numbers 29:13 13 You shall present a burnt offering, an offering made
by fire as a sweet aroma to the Lord: thirteen
young bulls, two rams, and fourteen lambs in their first year. They
shall be without blemish.
YLT
13and have brought near a
burnt-offering, a fire-offering, a sweet fragrance, to Jehovah; thirteen
bullocks, sons of the herd, two rams, fourteen lambs, sons of a year; perfect
ones they are;
Verses 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 day: the meat and drink offerings for each,
according to the kind of them, were as usual, and as before frequently
observed; and the same sacrifices, meat offerings, and drink offerings, were
offered on the six following days of the feast, only with this difference, that
there was one bullock less every day; which it is thought may denote the
decrease of sin in the people, and so an increase of holiness, or rather the
gradual waxing old and vanishing away of the ceremonial law, and the sacrifices
of it; and these bullocks ending in the number seven, which is a number may
lead us to think of the great sacrifice these all typified, whereby Christ has
perfected them that are sanctified.
Numbers 29:14 14 Their grain offering shall be of fine flour
mixed with oil: three-tenths of an ephah for each of the thirteen bulls,
two-tenths for each of the two rams,
YLT
14and their present, flour
mixed with oil, three-tenth deals to the one bullock, for the thirteen
bullocks, two-tenth deals to the one ram, for the two rams,
Numbers 29:15 15 and one-tenth for each of the fourteen lambs;
YLT
15and a several tenth deal to
the one lamb, for the fourteen lambs,
Numbers 29:16 16 also one kid of the goats as a sin offering,
besides the regular burnt offering, its grain offering, and its drink offering.
YLT
16and one kid of the goats, a
sin-offering; apart from the continual burnt-offering, its present, and its
libation.
Numbers 29:17 17 ‘On the second day present twelve young bulls,
two rams, fourteen lambs in their first year without blemish,
YLT
17`And on the second day
twelve bullocks, sons of the herd, two rams, fourteen lambs, sons of a year,
perfect ones;
Numbers 29:18 18 and their grain offering and their drink offerings for
the bulls, for the rams, and for the lambs, by their number, according to the
ordinance;
YLT
18and their present, and
their libations, for the bullocks, for the rams, and for the sheep, in their
number, according to the ordinance;
Numbers 29:19 19 also one kid of the goats as a sin offering,
besides the regular burnt offering with its grain offering, and their drink
offerings.
YLT
19and one kid of the goats, a
sin-offering; apart from the continual burnt-offering, and its present, and
their libations.

rams, fourteen lambs in their first year without blemish,

libation.

and fourteen lambs in their first year, without blemish,

bullocks, two rams, fourteen lambs, sons of a year, perfect ones;
Numbers 29:24 24 and their grain offering and their drink offerings for
the bulls, for the rams, and for the lambs, by their number, according to the
ordinance;

YLT
35`On the eighth day a
restraint ye have, ye do no servile work;
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.
Numbers 29:36 36 You shall present a burnt offering, an offering made
by fire as a sweet aroma to the Lord: one bull,
one ram, seven lambs in their first year without blemish,
YLT
36and ye have brought near a
burnt-offering, a fire-offering, a sweet fragrance, to Jehovah; one bullock,

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

expressed; and on this day a goat for a sin offering was also offered, besides
the daily sacrifice, and what went along with that.

Jehovah in your appointed seasons, apart from your vows, and your free-will
offerings, for your burnt-offerings, and for your presents, and for your
libations, and for your peace-offerings.'
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 writersF15Maimon.
& 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 up at any time, notwithstanding the above sacrifices, which were
necessary and obligatory; but these were at their own option:
for your burnt offerings, and for your meat offerings, and your
drink offerings, and for your peace offerings; of which see Leviticus 7:11.
Numbers 29:40 40 So Moses told the children of Israel everything, just
as the Lord commanded Moses.
YLT
40And Moses saith unto the
sons of Israel according to all that Jehovah hath commanded Moses.
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.
