It’s not going to be necessary to cover all the itty bitty details of Numbers 29 simply because we already studied most of this when we went through the Book of Leviticus, if you want a review, simply go back to the teachings in Leviticus for a refresher.

Okay, what I’d like to do is share with you a super simple easy-to-understand formula that will enable you to grasp the calendar of Biblical Feasts IN UNDER 30 SECONDS!

Are you ready?

Take time to read the following out loud.

There are 3 sacred feasts in the 1st month of the year as follows:
-Passover (Pesach)
-Unleavened Bread (Chag Hamotzi)
-First Fruits (Bikkurim)

There is 1 sacred feast in between the 1st and 7th month of the year
-Feast of Weeks (Shavuot in Hebrew or Pentecost in Greek)

There are 3 sacred feasts in the 7th month of the year:
-Feast of Trumpets (Yom Teruah)
-Day of Atonement (Yom Kippur)
-Feast of Tabernacles (Sukkot)

Did you read it out loud like I told you to?

Remember, whenever attempting to learn something new, it’s always best to engage as many senses as you can.

Okay, that’s it!

You’ve now got a clear and concise breakdown of all 7 of the Biblical Feasts.

GOOD JOB!!!

Let’s move on to verse one of Numbers 29.

“And in the seventh month, on the first day of the month, ye shall have an holy convocation; ye shall do no servile work: it is a day of blowing the trumpets unto you.”-Numbers 29:1

Verse one introduces Yom Teruah.

This is to be a day of blowing horns, it is also known as the “Feast of Trumpets”.

One of the keys to understanding what this special holiday is all about is to recognize the mystical significance embedded in the number 7.

Consider this.

A week is seven days and the 7th day of the week has been especially set apart as a holy day of rest.

Well, similarly, the 7th month of the year is also considered set apart and holy.

I’m not saying that one is supposed to rest during the whole 7th month.

Rather, the 7th month signifies the 7th cycle of the moon since the start of the religious calendar year.

This makes it an especially holy month.

Just remember that the 7th of anything in the Bible is special.

Do you recall what the 1st day of the 7th month is also called?

It’s ROSH HASHANAH, the Jewish New Year.

In addition, it’s also the 1st day of a new moon (meaning the 1st day of a new month).

There are two other important things you need to know about the 7th month of the year.

-The 50-year Jubilee year begins on Rosh Hashanah

and

-It is considered to be the 1st month of the agricultural year (ancient Babylonian calendars also substantiate that this is true).

Again, since Yom Teruah is a special feast day it has its own set of sacrifices that are added to the usual New Moon sacrifices.
