291 And in the seventh month, on the first of the month, ye shall have a holy convocation: no manner of servile work shall ye do; a day of blowing the trumpets shall it be unto you. 2 And ye shall offer a burnt-offering for a sweet odour to Jehovah: one young bullock, one ram, seven yearling lambs without blemish; 3 and their oblation of fine flour mingled with oil, three tenth parts for the bullock, two tenth parts for the ram, 4 and one tenth part for each lamb of the seven lambs; 5 and one buck of the goats for a sin-offering, to make atonement for you, 6 —besides the monthly burnt-offering and its oblation, and the continual burnt-offering and its oblation, and their drink-offerings, according to their ordinance, for a sweet odour, an offering by fire to Jehovah. 7 And on the tenth of this seventh month ye shall have a holy convocation; and ye shall afflict your souls; no manner of work shall ye do. 8 And ye shall present a burnt-offering to Jehovah for a sweet odour: one young bullock, one ram, seven yearling lambs (without blemish shall they be unto you); 9 and their oblation of fine flour mingled with oil, three tenth parts for the bullock, two tenth parts for the ram, 10 one tenth part for each lamb, of the seven lambs; 11 [and] one buck of the goats for a sin-offering,—besides the sin-offering of atonement, and the continual burnt-offering and its oblation, and their drink-offerings.
12 And on the fifteenth day of the seventh month ye shall have a holy convocation: no manner of servile work shall ye do; and ye shall celebrate a feast to Jehovah seven days; 13 and ye shall present a burnt-offering, an offering by fire for a sweet odour to Jehovah: thirteen young bullocks, two rams, fourteen yearling lambs (they shall be without blemish); 14 and their oblation of fine flour mingled with oil: three tenth parts for each bullock of the thirteen bullocks, two tenth parts for each ram of the two rams, 15 and one tenth part for each lamb of the fourteen lambs; 16 and one buck of the goats for a sin-offering,—besides the continual burnt-offering, its oblation and its drink-offering. 17 And on the second day, [ye shall present] twelve young bullocks, two rams, fourteen yearling lambs without blemish; 18 and their oblation and their drink-offerings for the bullocks, for the rams, and for the lambs, by their number, according to the ordinance; 19 and one buck of the goats for a sin-offering,—besides the continual burnt-offering and its oblation, and their drink-offerings. 20 And on the third day, eleven bullocks, two rams, fourteen yearling lambs without blemish; 21 and their oblation and their drink-offerings for the bullocks, for the rams, and for the lambs, by their number, according to the ordinance; 22 and one he-goat for a sin-offering,—besides the continual burnt-offering and its oblation and its drink-offering. 23 And on the fourth day, ten bullocks, two rams, fourteen yearling lambs without blemish; 24 their oblation and their drink-offerings for the bullocks, for the rams, and for the lambs, by their number, according to the ordinance; 25 and one buck of the goats for a sin-offering,—besides the continual burnt-offering, its oblation and its drink-offering. 26 And on the fifth day, nine bullocks, two rams, fourteen yearling lambs without blemish; 27 and their oblation and their drink-offerings for the bullocks, for the rams, and for the lambs, by their number, according to the ordinance; 28 and one he-goat for a sin-offering,—besides the continual burnt-offering and its oblation and its drink-offering. 29 And on the sixth day, eight bullocks, two rams, fourteen yearling lambs without blemish;

(Read Numbers 29:1-11)
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 Divine light explain what was dark, and supply what was wanting, in the former, that the man of God may be perfect.
Commentary on Numbers 29:12-40
(Read Numbers 29:12-40)
Soon after the day of atonement, the day in which men were to afflict their souls, followed the feast of Tabernacles, in which they were to rejoice before the Lord. Their days of rejoicing were to be days of sacrifices. A disposition to be cheerful does us good, when it encourages our hearts in the duties of God's service. All the days of dwelling in booths they must offer sacrifices; while we are here in a tabernacle state, it is our interest, as well as our duty, constantly to keep up communion with God. The sacrifices for each of the seven days are appointed. Every day there must be a sin-offering, as in the other feasts. Our burnt-offerings of praise cannot be accepted of God, unless we have an interest in the great sacrifice which Christ offered, when he made himself a Sin-offering for us. And no extraordinary services should put aside stated devotions. Every thing here reminds us of our sinfulness. The life that we live in the flesh must be by the faith of the Son of God; until we go to be with him, to behold his glory, and praise his mercy, who hath loved us and washed us from our sins in his own blood. To whom be honour and glory for ever. Amen.
