Commentary

it is a day of blowing the trumpets
on Numbers 29:1-6
Leviticus 23:23-25 set this day apart with a memorial of blowing of trumpets and left the offerings unnamed. Numbers supplies them, and verse 6 stacks three layers on the one day, the bullock, ram and seven lambs given here, the new moon offering of Numbers 28:11-15, and the continual burnt offering. Neither book says what the trumpets are for. Later Jewish reckoning keeps the first of the seventh month as the new year, while Exodus 12:2 sets the year's first month in the spring.
The record, by era
The Puritans and the Awakening2 voices
Beside the burnt offering of the month, and his meat offering,....
If we perform family-worship, we must not think that this will excuse us from our secret devotions; nor that on the days we go to church we need not worship God alone and with our families; but we should always abound in the work of the Lord.
