Numbers 29:7 Meaning and Commentary

Numbers 29:7

And ye shall have on the tenth day of the seventh month an holy
convocation
The month Tisri, as before; so the Targum of Jonathan:

and ye shall afflict your souls;
or persons; their bodies by fasting, and their souls by repentance and humiliation; for this was a grand fast, as it is called ( Acts 27:9 ) ,

ye shall not do any work [therein];
see ( Leviticus 23:28 ) .

Numbers 29:7 In-Context

5 There will be one male goat for a purification offering to seek reconciliation for yourselves.

6 This is in addition to the monthly entirely burned offering with its grain offering, and the regular entirely burned offering with its grain offering and drink offerings as prescribed. It will be a soothing smell, a food gift to the LORD.

7 The tenth day of this seventh month will be a holy occasion for you. You will deny yourselves and not do any work.

8 You will present an entirely burned offering to the LORD as a soothing smell: one bull from the herd, one ram, and seven male lambs one year old. They will be flawless.

9 Their grain offering will be fine flour mixed with oil, three-tenths for the bull, two-tenths for the one ram,
