Commentary for Numbers 29:6
**Numbers 29:6** is part of the instructions given to the Israelites regarding the offerings for the Feast of Trumpets (Rosh Hashanah), which marks the Jewish civil New Year. This verse specifically outlines the additional sacrifices to be offered on that day, beyond the regular daily offerings.
**Themes:**
1. **Worship and Sacrifice:** The verse emphasizes the importance of worship through sacrifice in ancient Israelite religion. The detailed prescriptions for offerings reflect a careful and elaborate system of worship.
2. **Regularity and Consistency:** The mention of "the burnt offering of the month" and "the daily burnt offering" underscores the regular, consistent nature of Israelite worship practices.
3. **Sanctification:** The offerings are described as a "sweet savour," indicating that they are pleasing to God, and thus, they serve as a means of sanctification and maintaining a right relationship with the divine.
4. **Community and Remembrance:** The specificity of the offerings would have served as a communal reminder of God's presence and the covenant between God and Israel.
**Historical Context:**
- **Time Period:** The book of Numbers is set during the 40-year wilderness wandering period after the Exodus from Egypt and before the entrance into the Promised Land.
- **Priestly Code:** Numbers 29 is part of the Priestly Code, a section of the Pentateuch (the first five books of the Bible) that contains detailed laws and regulations concerning priestly duties and sacrifices. This code reflects the concerns and practices of the priestly class in ancient Israel.
- **Cultic Calendar:** The instructions in this verse are part of a larger calendar of festivals and sacrifices, which structured the religious life of the Israelites. The Feast of Trumpets was one of the seven major feasts in the Israelite cultic year.
- **Transition and Renewal:** The Feast of Trumpets, occurring on the first day of the seventh month, was a time of transition and renewal, marked by the blowing of trumpets, which served as a call to repentance and preparation for the Day of Atonement (Yom Kippur) ten days later.
In summary, Numbers 29:6 reflects the intricate sacrificial system of ancient Israel, emphasizing regular worship and the sanctification of time through specific offerings during the Feast of Trumpets, which was a significant event in the Israelite religious calendar.
