The beginning of the month was known, not by astronomical calculations, but, according to Jewish writers, by the testimony of messengers appointed to watch the first visible appearance of the new moon; and then the fact was announced through the whole country by signal-fires kindled on the mountain tops.
This site's exposition
in the beginnings of your months
on Numbers 28:11-15
The monthly offering is commanded here for the first time in the law, and it is the largest yet in the chapter, two bullocks, a ram and seven lambs. A kid of the goats for a sin offering comes with it, so atonement is written into the calendar month by month instead of waiting on an occasion of known guilt, which is how Numbers 15:22-26 had treated it. Jewish writers report that the start of a month was fixed by witnesses watching for the first sight of the new moon and by fires lit on the hilltops to carry the word, which is later practice and not anything this chapter states. Colossians 2:16 names the new moon alongside the sabbath and the holyday when it tells the church to let no man judge them in these things.
The record, by era
The Puritans and the Awakening2 voices
And one kid of the goats, for a sin offering unto the Lord, shall be offered,.... This was an offering of a different sort, not a burnt offering, but a sin offering, typical of Christ, who was made an offering for sin; and it was of that sort of sin offerings which were to be eaten, as the Jews say (h); for there were some that were not, even such whose blood was brought into the sanctuary, Lev 6:
For, when we give glory to God by confessing his mercies, we must give glory to him likewise by confessing our own sins; and, when we rejoice in the gifts of common providence, we must make the sacrifice of Christ, that great gift of special grace, the fountain and spring-head of our joy.
