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 ) .

Numbers 29:7 In-Context

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

6 besides the burnt offering of the new moon, and its grain offering, and the regular burnt offering and its grain offering, and their drink offering, according to the rule for them, for a pleasing aroma, a food offering to the Lord.

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

8 but you shall offer a burnt offering to the Lord, a pleasing aroma: one bull from the herd, one ram, seven male lambs a year old: see that they are without blemish.

9 And their grain offering shall be of fine flour mixed with oil, three tenths of an ephah for the bull, two tenths for the one ram,
