Numbers 29:7

“And ye shall have on the tenth day of the seventh month an holy convocation, etc.] 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 (<442709>Acts 27:9), ye shall not do any work [therein]; (see <032328>Leviticus 23:28).”

“ye shall have on the tenth day of this seventh month an holy convocation--This was the great day of atonement. Its institution, together with the observance to which that day was devoted, was described (Lev 16:29-30). But additional offerings seem to be noticed, namely, the large animal sacrifice for a general expiation, which was a sweet savor unto the Lord, and the sin offering to atone for the sins that mingled with that day's services. The prescriptions in this passage appear supplementary to the former statement in Leviticus.”

“The offering on the great Day of Atonement was the same with that just specified. The great ceremonies of the day are described in Leviticus 16:0. return to 'Top of Page'”

“Afflict your souls - Yourselves, by fasting and abstinence from all delightful things, and by compunction for your sins, and the judgments of God, either deserved by you or inflicted upon you. Numbers 29:12”

“29:7-11 The Day of Atonement was a solemn occasion, a day of fasting (see also Lev 16; 23:26-32; Rom 3:23-25; Heb 9:7-12, 23-28). 29:7 Ten days later, on the tenth day of the same month: It is celebrated today as Yom Kippur (from Hebrew yom hakkippurim, Lev 23:27).”

“on the tenth: Lev 16:29-31, Lev 23:27 afflict: Lev 16:29; Ezr 8:21; Psa 35:13, Psa 126:5, Psa 126:6; Isa 22:12, Isa 58:3-5; Zac 7:3; Zac 12:10; Mat 5:4; Luk 13:3, Luk 13:5; Act 27:9; Rom 6:6; Co1 9:27; Co2 7:9-11; Jam 4:8-10 Numbers 29:8”

“On the day of atonement, on the tenth of the seventh month, a similar festal sacrifice was to be offered to the one presented on the seventh new moon's day (a burnt-offering and sin-offering), in addition to the sin-offering of atonement prescribed at Lev 16, and the daily burnt-offerings. For a more minute description of this festival, see at Lev 16 and Lev 23:26-32. Numbers 29:12”
