Numbers 28:10-25

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Numbers 28:9-15

The new moons and the sabbaths are often spoken of together, as great solemnities in the Jewish church, very comfortable to the saints then, and typical of gospel grace. Now we have here the sacrifices appointed, 1. For the sabbaths. Every sabbath day the offering must be doubled; besides the two lambs offered for the daily burnt-offering, there must be two more offered, one (it is probable) added to the morning sacrifice, and the other to the evening, Num. 28:9; 10. This teaches us to double... read more

And in the beginnings of your months ye shall offer a burnt offering unto the Lord ,.... On the first day of every month, when the new moon appeared; that this was religiously observed appears from the blowing of the trumpets over the sacrifices on this day, from attendance on the word of the Lord, by his prophets, on this day, and from abstinence from worldly business on it, Numbers 10:10 . two young bullocks, and one ram, seven rams of the first year without spot ; this was the burnt... read more

And one kid of the goats, for a sin offering unto the Lord, shall be offered ,....
