291 '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; 2 and 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; 3 and their present, flour mixed with oil, three-tenth deals for the bullock, two-tenth deals for the ram, 4 and one-tenth deal for the one lamb, for the seven lambs; 5 and one kid of the goats, a sin-offering, to make atonement for you; 6 apart 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. 7 'And on the tenth of this seventh month a holy convocation ye have, and ye have humbled your souls; ye do no work; 8 and 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, 9 and their present, flour mixed with oil, three-tenth deals for the bullock, two-tenth deals for the one ram, 10 a several tenth deal for the one lamb, for the seven lambs, 11 one 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.
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, 13 and 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; 14 and 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, 15 and a several tenth deal to the one lamb, for the fourteen lambs, 16 and one kid of the goats, a sin-offering; apart from the continual burnt-offering, its present, and its libation. 17 'And on the second day twelve bullocks, sons of the herd, two rams, fourteen lambs, sons of a year, perfect ones; 18 and their present, and their libations, for the bullocks, for the rams, and for the sheep, in their number, according to the ordinance; 19 and one kid of the goats, a sin-offering; apart from the continual burnt-offering, and its present, and their libations. 20 'And on the third day eleven bullocks, two rams, fourteen lambs, sons of a year, perfect ones; 21 and their present, and their libations, for the bullocks, for the rams, and for the lambs, in their number, according to the ordinance; 22 and one goat, a sin-offering; apart from the continual burnt-offering, and its present, and its libation. 23 'And on the fourth day ten bullocks, two rams, fourteen lambs, sons of a year, perfect ones; 24 their present, and their libations, for the bullocks, for the rams, and for the lambs, in their number, according to the ordinance; 25 and one kid of the goats, a sin-offering, apart from the continual burnt-offering, its present, and its libation. 26 'And on the fifth day nine bullocks, two rams, fourteen lambs, sons of a year, perfect ones; 27 and their present, and their libations, for the bullocks, for the rams, and for the lambs, in their number, according to the ordinance; 28 and one goat, a sin-offering; apart from the continual burnt-offering, and its present, and its libation. 29 'And on the sixth day eight bullocks, two rams, fourteen lambs, sons of a year, perfect ones;

(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.
