Numbers 28:11 Meaning and Commentary

Numbers 28:11

And in the beginnings of your months ye shall offer a
burnt offering unto the Lord
On the first day of every month, when the new moon appeared; that this was religiously observed appears from the blowing of the trumpets over the sacrifices on this day, from attendance on the word of the Lord, by his prophets, on this day, and from abstinence from worldly business on it, ( Numbers 10:10 ) ( 2 Kings 4:23 ) ( Amos 8:5 )

two young bullocks, and one ram, seven rams of the first year without
spot;
this was the burnt offering, and a very large and costly one it was: more creatures were offered on this day than on a sabbath day; not that this was a more holy day than that, but this was but once a month, and therefore the expense might be the more easily bore, whereas that was every week.

Numbers 28:11 In-Context

9 On the Sabbath day: two flawless one-year-old male lambs and two-tenths of fine flour for a grain offering, mixed with oil, and its drink offering.
10 This is the entirely burned offering for every Sabbath, in addition to the regular entirely burned offering and its drink offering.
11 At the beginning of every month you will present an entirely burned offering to the LORD: two bulls from the herd, one ram, and seven one-year-old male lambs, all flawless.
12 Use three-tenths of fine flour for a grain offering mixed with oil for each bull, two-tenths of fine flour for a grain offering mixed with oil for each ram,
13 and one-tenth of fine flour for a grain offering mixed with oil for each lamb. It is an entirely burned offering with a soothing smell, a food gift to the LORD.
