What happensPermalink

God continues to give Moses instructions about public offerings made on behalf of the whole nation; this time for the Feast of Trumpets, the Day of Atonement, and the Feast of Booths.

Why it mattersPermalink

The sacrificial system is critical to the daily lives of Israel, keeping them connected to and righteous before God and His laws. Israel cannot possibly supply all these animals without conquering Canaan, so God’s instructions imply God will provide.

Key versePermalink

“These you shall offer to the Lord at your appointed feasts, in addition to your vow offerings and your freewill offerings, for your burnt offerings, and for your grain offerings, and for your drink offerings, and for your peace offerings.”

Numbers 29:39
