Read Numbers Chapter 29 Summary

The seventh month's festivals receive detailed offering prescriptions: Trumpets on the first, Day of Atonement on the tenth, both with substantial animal sacrifices. The Feast of Tabernacles from the fifteenth through the twenty-second requires the most elaborate offerings of the year, with decreasing numbers of bulls from thirteen to seven over seven days. The eighth day is a solemn assembly with its own prescribed offerings, completing the annual festival calendar.

The book of Numbers is named for the two censuses of Israel—one at Mount Sinai counting 603,550 fighting men and another in Moab nearly 40 years later. The Hebrew title 'Bemidbar' means 'in the wilderness.'
