NOTES for Num 29:1-39
This chapter gives detailed statutes about sacrifices on the feasts of Trumpets, Atonement, and Booths (see Lev. 23). A carefully developed calendar tied to the cycle of field work was intended, it appears, to help Israel consistently live through the most important moments of religious life. Calling upon the Lord on the feast of Trumpets, offering sacrifices for sin on the Day of Atonement, and remembering its Exodus on the feast of Booths, the people of God learn the proper worship of God, so that one day, in the persons of the apostles, they may recognize His Son in the Man from Nazareth.
