Numbers 29:7 Meaning and Commentary

Numbers 29:7

And ye shall have on the tenth day of the seventh month an holy
convocation
The month Tisri, as before; so the Targum of Jonathan:

and ye shall afflict your souls;
or persons; their bodies by fasting, and their souls by repentance and humiliation; for this was a grand fast, as it is called ( Acts 27:9 ) ,

ye shall not do any work [therein];
see ( Leviticus 23:28 ) .

5 with one male goat for a sin offering, to make atonement for you.

6 These are in addition to the burnt offering of the new moon and its grain offering, and the regular burnt offering and its grain offering, and their drink offerings, according to the ordinance for them, a pleasing odor, an offering by fire to the Lord.

7 On the tenth day of this seventh month you shall have a holy convocation, and deny yourselves; you shall do no work.

8 You shall offer a burnt offering to the Lord, a pleasing odor: one young bull, one ram, seven male lambs a year old. They shall be without blemish.

9 Their grain offering shall be of choice flour mixed with oil, three-tenths of an ephah for the bull, two-tenths for the one ram,
