a day for you to sound the trumpets
on Numbers 29:1-6
Leviticus 23:24 names this day but leaves its offerings unnamed, and Numbers supplies them. Verse 6 stacks three offerings on the one day: those given here, the monthly offering of Numbers 28:11-15, and the regular daily offering.
This site's exposition
a tenth of an ephah with each
Each lamb carries the smallest measure, a single tenth. With seven lambs the day's grain comes to twelve tenths of an ephah. Matthew Henry remarks that however much flesh was offered, it was no feast without bread and drink, since the altar was God's table.
The record, by era
The Puritans and the Awakening1 voice
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.
