Jamieson, Fausset & Brown1802–1910
Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible (1871)
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
At the beginning of every month
on Numbers 28:11-15
The monthly offering is new here, and its "one male goat" writes atonement into the calendar month by month. Colossians 2:16 names "a New Moon" with a feast and a Sabbath when it tells the church to let no one judge them.
This site's exposition
half a hin of wine with each bull
The wine rises with the animal, from a quarter hin for a lamb to half a hin for a bull. Later practice added more to the day. Jamieson, Fausset and Brown cite trumpets at Numbers 10:10, rest from work at Amos 8:5 and family feasts at 1 Samuel 20:5.
