Chapter 29

(Numbers 29:1-6) Feast of Trumpets

The blowing of the trumpets on the first day of the seventh month signaled the beginning of a new civil year for Israel.

The trumpet sound that Christians are awaiting will announce the return of the Savior for His church (1 Thess. 4:13–18).

(Numbers 29:7-11) Day of Atonement

The Day of atonement was celebrated on the 10th Day of the seventh month

This was the only day of the year when the high priest was permitted to go beyond the veil into the Holy of Holies, but he had to bring with him burning incense and sacrificial blood.

The ritual on the day of Atonement pictures the work of Jesus Christ when He died on the cross for our sins.

(Numbers 29:12-40) Feast of Booths or Festival of shelters

The feast of Booths was celebrated on the 15th day of the seventh month.

It was a seven day festival (15th-21st)

This feast looks forward to the time when God will fulfill the kingdom promises made to Israel and the nation will rejoice in their bountiful beautiful land.
