Numbers 29:1

And in the seventh month
The month Tisri, as the Targum of Jonathan, which answers to part of our September and October; a month famous for days to be religiously observed, having more of them in it than any other month in the year:

on the first day of the month, ye shall have a holy convocation;
see ( Leviticus 23:24 ) ,

ye shall do no servile work;
therefore, in the place referred to, is called a sabbath:

it is a day of blowing the trumpets unto you;
of which, (See Gill on Leviticus 23:24).

Numbers 29:1 In-Context

1 The first day of the seventh month will be a holy occasion for you. You will not do any job-related work. It will be for you a day of the trumpet's sound.

2 You will offer an entirely burned offering as a soothing smell to the LORD: one bull from the herd, one ram, and seven male lambs one year old, all flawless.

3 Their grain offering will be fine flour mixed with oil, three-tenths for the bull, two-tenths for the ram,

4 and one-tenth for each of the seven lambs.

5 There will be one male goat for a purification offering to seek reconciliation for yourselves.
