AND in the seventh month So it was in their Ecclesiastical account, in which the moneth Abib was the first: but as to civil matters this was the first moneth., 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 Whereby the people were admonished solemnly to prepare themselves for the feasts, which were as many in this moneth, as in all the year besides. unto you.

And ye shall offer a burnt-offering Besides the offerings of every moneth and day, as is expressed ver. 6. for a sweet savour unto the LORD, one young bullock, one ram, and seven lambs of the first year without blemish.

And their meat-offering shall be of flour mingled with oyl, three tenth deals for a bullock, and two tenth deals for a ram:

And one tenth deal for one lamb, throughout the seven lambs:

And one kid of the goats for a sin-offering, to make an atonement for you.

Beside the burnt-offering of the month Belonging to every new moon, of which see Numb. 28. 11, 12. 2 Chron. 2. 4., and his meat-offering, and the daily burnt-offering, and his meat-offering, and their drink-offerings according to their manner According to the order, rites and ceremonies appointed by God. for a sweet savour, a sacrifice made by fire unto the LORD.

And ye shall have on the tenth day of this seventh month an holy convocation; and ye shall afflict your souls (i. e.) Your selves, by fasting and abstinence from all delightful things, and by compunction and bitter sorrow for your sins and the judgments of God either deserved by you or inflicted upon you for your sins. See Levit. 16. 29, 30. and 23. 27.: ye shall not do any work therein.

But ye shall offer a burnt-offering unto the LORD, for a sweet savour, one young bullock, one ram, and seven lambs of the first year: they shall be unto you without blemish.

And ye shall offer a burnt-offering, a sacrifice made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the LORD, thirteen young bullocks More sacrifices than at any other feast, partly because this feast was in the close of the year, when it was meet to supply the defects of the year past, and when they had gathered in all their fruits, Deut. 16. 13, 15. and therefore ought to make the larger returns and acknowledgment to God; partly because it was Gods pleasure so to order it, for reasons known to himself, in whose will we ought to acquiesce. And the same reason holds why these sacrifices grew fewer and fewer every day., two rams and fourteen lambs More sacrifices than at any other feast, partly because this feast was in the close of the year, when it was meet to supply the defects of the year past, and when they had gathered in all their fruits, Deut. 16. 13, 15. and therefore ought to make the larger returns and acknowledgment to God; partly because it was Gods pleasure so to order it, for reasons known to himself, in whose will we ought to acquiesce. And the same reason holds why these sacrifices grew fewer and fewer every day. of the first year: they shall be without blemish.

And their meat-offering shall be of flour mingled with oyl, three tenth-deals unto every bullock of the thirteen bullocks, two tenth deals to each ram of the two rams:
