Click here to view listing below for Num 29:32

Num. 29:1–6 Every new moon was a holy day (28:11–15). Since the seventh month of the year was holy, the first day of that month was especially holy. It was marked by a holy convocation, no ordinary work, the blowing of trumpets, and almost twice as many sacrifices as on other new moon festivals. According to 10:10, blowing the trumpets at the festivals is a plea to God to act on Israel’s behalf.

Num. 29:7–11 The Day of Atonement is fully described in Leviticus 16. This is simply a list of the main sacrifices and a reminder of the layperson’s duties.

Num. 29:12–38 During the Feast of Booths all the Israelites lived in temporary dwellings. This reminded them of their time in the wilderness (see Lev. 23:33–43). The feast’s importance is shown by the large number of sacrifices the priests offered. The feast occurred at the end of harvest in October, so that the people could thank God for the harvest and to pray for rain in the following months. In Israel, rain is expected only between October and April.

Num. 29:39–40 Private sacrifices, such as those connected with vows, may be offered at any time.
