Numbers 29 · Grade 4
A Month of Worship
Read and Think
The seventh month was the busiest month of Israel's worship year. It began with the Day of Trumpets, a holy gathering when no regular work was done. Its trumpet blasts called God's people to remember Him.
Ten days later came the Day of Atonement, described fully in Leviticus 16. The people humbled themselves and did no work. The high priest made atonement for the whole nation.
On the fifteenth day began the Feast of Booths, a joyful harvest feast of seven days, plus an eighth day. The bulls offered went down from thirteen to seven, a total of seventy. Sorrow for sin came before joy, and both pointed to God's mercy.
