Discuss Numbers 28

This chapter teaches the new generation of Israelites the sacrificial ordinances goven to Israel on Mt. Ainai. One difference I notice was that of pouring of strong wine on the animals sacrificed. Immediately it reminded me of the blood of Jesus poured out for the remission of sins. It is likely that these Israelites had grown up with these sacrifices being done daily by Aaron and now Eleazar.

But YHWH deemed it necessary for this generation to hear from Him through Moses comcerning these offerings/sacrifices again.

We, too, should remind ourselves of what Jesus said at the Last supper concerning the communion. We should be glad to participate in communion as often as we can. It seems in the early church that many met daily ro share this meal to commemorate Jesus' death and resurrection. And others who gathered on the Lord's Day-the first day of the week-for worship and communion. This can be found int he book of Acts.

It is too bad that many churches have relegated communion to a once a month or every other week occurrence. It is a solemn observation and as believers a cherished one.

The whole of Num. 28 reminds us of our sinfulness before God and how much we need a permanent once and for all sacrifice for sin that covers us all day every day. Jesus did this-sacrificing Himself once and for all, thus eliminating the ordinances of Nu. 28 because He is the One Sacrifice all of these daily, Sabbath, holy day sacrifices were a shadow of His all sufficient offering of Himself to the Father as an acceptable offering. The Father received the offerings of the Israelites if they were done in faith and in observance of all that He commanded of the priest to do for the people. Jesus not only is the one perfect sacrifice for us but also our perpetual High Priest who intercedes for us before the Father. Therefore there is no longer any need for the sacrifices

delineated in this chapter nor for the Aaronic priesthood or temple. Christ is the fulfillment of all these.

Sabbath : Exodus 20:8,10,11, Exodus 31:14,15,16, Leviticus 23, Leviticus 24:8, Leviticus 25:2,4,6, Numbers 28:9,10, Deuteronomy 5,

Nehemiah 13:19, There's many more scriptures, hopefully you'll find them all helpful

Jesus observed the Sabbath & fulfilling the Sacrifice: Luke 23:17,54,55,56, John 19:31, Acts 13:27, Matthew 28:1, Mark 6:2, Mark 16:1, Matthew 8:17, Luke 4:21, Acts 13,

Matthew 12:8,

God do not contradict himself the holy ghost has nothing to do with the flesh but power over the spirit of the devil .A women and a man have a chores in this word through the flesh and the no male or female is for when we become Angels. A woman still are under Adam and eve law in the flesh and the flesh of a man have the rulership over the woman. The holy spirit will stop a woman for her monthly period nor childbirth nor death . Hebrews 5:1 if a priest is needed and your pastor is dead then then church must

line all qualified males and choose a priest from among men. Numbers 28:1 when god was setting up the priesthood he said call all males from the family of Arron that they may minister to me in the priesthood . God had a women prophetess call Mariam Moses sister. a elder is appointment after one is saved. The holy ghost have nothing to do with putting a woman in authority over a man just over the Devil works. 1Tim 2:11 this was after the holy Ghost had fell Acts 2:1 -2 1Co 11:3-4 this was written after the Holy Ghost had fell. So why now the women liberation is come now it seems that God have a new thing concerning the Pastor position. if you believe anything out of the scripture you are in False Doctrine and the Bible say's if a Angel from heaven preach any other gospel from what we preach let him be accursed . So it is not what God told the woman she could not do...He told her what to do. Thanks Willie

Old Testament law: Deuteronomy 16:16, Exodus 34:23,24, Deuteronomy 31:11, Exodus 23:17, the dates of calendars have changed even the Hebrew / Jewish calendars. Moses through GOD established the beginning of the year to be the Passover, no calendar today honors that. Exodus 12:2, Exodus 12, Numbers 28:16,

Jesus honored these things, along with His parents (on earth) Luke 2:22,23, Luke 2:41-49, John 4:45, John 5:1, John 10:22,23, even those who opposed Jesus expected Jesus to honor the appointed days : John 11:54-57, John 12, Even facing His own brutal death: Matthew 20:17,18 , Mark 10:32,33,34 do you think HE knew He was the Lamb,: Luke 2:38, Luke 18:31, that was going to be slain for Passover? That's why HE told them, as HE obediently set his face to go? Luke 9:51,

James Reese, you will find reference to The Day of Atonement in Leviticus 23:27 specifically.

That's why you don't see it here in Numbers.

Acts 12:1-4 says that King Herod killed James and when he saw that it pleased the Jews, he had Peter arrested. Acts 12:3 says that Herod took Peter DURING the DAYS OF UNLEAVENED BREAD intending to bring him forth to the people AFTER Easter.

According to the Old Testament, the DAY OF PASSOVER started the FEAST OF UNLEAVENED BREAD. "In the fourteenth day of the first month at even is the LORD's passover. And on the fifteenth day of the same month is the feast of unleavened bread unto the LORD: seven days ye must eat unleavened bread." ( Leviticus 23:5,6) The Day Of Passover began in the evening on the 14th day of the first month, and the Feast Of Unleavened Bread began on the 15th day of the same month.

Scripture is clear: the days of unleavened bread follow the Passover. "And in the fourteenth day of the first month is the passover of the LORD. And in the fifteenth day of this month is the feast: seven days shall unleavened bread be eaten." Numbers 28:16-17

Acts 12:3 says that Peter was arrested and imprisoned DURING the "days of unleavened bread", which means that the day of Passover had ALREADY occurred.

"Easter" could not have been Passover, because Passover always occurs BEFORE the days of unleavened bread. The Scripture says that the Passover had come and gone. Acts 12:4 says that Herod was "intending after Easter to bring him [Peter] forth to the people." According to Acts 12:1-4, Passover had occurred, but Easter had not yet occurred. Herod was waiting until after Easter had occurred to bring Peter forth to people.

Acts 12:1-4 clearly says that Herod had arrested and killed James during the Feast Of Unleavened Bread, which meant that the Passover had occurred. We know that James was taken and killed by Herod during the days of unleavened bread, and that Herod was planning to kill Peter after Easter, which had not come yet. Bottom line: the KJV translators got it right. Easter's correct, Passover's a mistranslation in ALL modern Bible versions.

Bridget, may CHRIST IN US grace us with HIS wisdom and HIS understanding.

This is a wonderful site due to the great teaching here, When I first found it I was ambitious and eager to help defend the faith, but soon realized this site didn't need that from me, there's a time for that. I've learned to sit back and learn how to be still. There's a lot to learn from that. Thank you

c. Numbers 28:9,10. Not only a day of cessation from labour, but was also used in religious activity: in this instance, sacrifice (a special burnt offering). From this, we might learn that the day of rest also involved sacrifice & maybe a rehearsal of the laws given by God to Moses. So we can't think of it as just a day to sleep-in & be totally unproductive in mind & spirit.

d. Various Scriptures concerning the 'do's' & 'don't do's' on the Sabbath are shown in the Word. The people could not "kindle a fire, collect Manna, trade in goods, or bear burdens". They could however, "be involved in military campaigns, weddings, feasts, offering of sacrifices, opening gates, changing guards, etc."

e. Till the building of the first Temple (Solomon's), all religious activity was contained in the precincts of the Tabernacle. When the Temple was erected, public worship & activity took place there. After the rebuilding of the Second Temple (c. 352 BC) led by Ezra, public worship recommenced. In Jesus' day, both the Temple & the Synagogue existed: as Chabad dot org says, "The purpose of the synagogue was to provide a venue to facilitate and enhance the Biblical obligation of prayer by adding a communal element." When the Roman army destroyed this temple in 69 AD, the synagogue remained the only place to come together. So, the Jews maintained the 7th day of rest as prescribed but also used that day productively in the synagogue. And this is where we find Jesus: both at the Temple ( Matthew 21:12,13) & also at the Synagogue ( Matthew 4:23), teaching but also condemning the religious leaders for their hypocrisy, high status, extra stipulations for the Sabbath, & grievous burdens laid on the people (Matthew chap 23). Jesus conformed perfectly to His Father's Commandment in treating the Sabbath as holy & in doing so, revealed to the leaders their failure to understand its meaning, both in rest & correct religious observance & practise.

I love the bible god bless you

I'm sorry, but you didn't address my question. I have many Bibles (KJV, NKJV, NASB, & CJSB) in which I study from, and many study bibles, concordances, commentaries, etc. I know who the scapegoat ultimately would be for mankind--Jesus Christ. My question for you is why does Numbers Chapter 28 not mention the Day of Atonement which involves the ritual of using 2 goats, one offered for the Sin Offering, and the other to be the scapegoat which is released into the wilderness. According to Leviticus Chapter 16, this was one of the, if not the most, hallowed holy day(s) of Israel, and commanded to be observed forever. I am hoping that you possibly could provide me with some insight as to why Numbers Chapter 28, which contains a list of Israelis' holy days for them to follow once in the Promised Land, does NOT mention the Day of Atonement & its prerequisites.

I would appreciate any response you can provide to the aforementioned. I thank you for your previous replies, but I'm getting everything except an answer to my rather pointed question.

God bless & thank you

James

You need to get another Bible with center of the page reference columns. Each alphabet or number refers to another scripture that adds more illumination to the first. Some are current to that time or they are prophetic (future). You have to get what you need to study these things deeper. Sometimes you have to buy reference books. I highly recommend a large print encyclopedia with a full concordance. Try AbeBooks to get previously owned. Google them.

Here is a few on Leviticus

16:5 see Lev 4:14, Numbers 29:11, 2 Chron. 29:21, Ezra 6:17, Ezekiel 45:22

16:8. See chapter 9:7, Hebrews 7:27-28

16:9 see Proverbs 16:33

16:10 see Isaiah 53:4-10, Romans 3:25,

2 Corinthians 5:21, 1 John 2:2

At the end of all that you will see that Jesus was the Scapegoat for us. He has already made atonement for us.

You're going to have to look this all up and then ask THE HOLY SPIRIT to teach you what it means today. He's your Teacher.

It means prayer on your part, and turning off all racket to sit quietly before the Lord for answers. You will be amazed at what you learn. Psalm 63:6 and Proverbs 8:34

I am trying to figure out why Numbers Chapter 28 doesn't mention the scapegoat (which is part of the Day of Atonement sacrifice including the sin offering of another goat), there are 2 goats to be offered as a part of the Day of Atonement sacrifices. In Leviticus, the Day of Atonement is commanded by the Lord to be observed every year. I don't understand why Chapter 28 of Numbers addresses feasts, offerings, sacrifices but leaves out the Day of Atonement sacrifices. I don't see how the book of Numbers could not address the Day of Atonement. I'm aware that the scapegoat (Azazel) is mentioned in the book of Leviticus. I don't understand why Numbers doesn't mention it as Israel is preparing to enter the promised land.

This is what the commentary says about the scapegoat:

16:21 All the iniquities - He mentions iniquities, transgressions, and sins, to note sins of all sorts, and that a free and full confession was to be made, and that the smallest sins needed, and the greatest sins were not excluded from, the benefit of Christ's death here represented. On the head - Charging all their sins and the punishment due to them upon the goat, which tho' only a ceremony, yet being done according to God's appointment and manifestly pointing at Christ upon whom their iniquities and punishments were laid, # Isa 53:5|,6, it was available for this end. And hence the Heathens took their custom of selecting one beast or man, upon whom they laid all their imprecations and curses, and whom they killed as an expiatory sacrifice for their sins, and to prevent their ruin. A fit man - Heb. a man of time, that is, of years and discretion, who may be trusted with this work. Into the wilderness - Which signified the removal of their sins far away both from the people, and out of God's sight. And here the goat being neglected by all men, and exposed to many hazards from wild beasts, which were numerous there, might farther signify Christ's being forsaken both by God and by men, even by his own disciples, and the many dangers and sufferings he underwent. The Jews write, that this goat was carried to the mountain called Azazel, whence the goat is so called, # Lev 16:10. and that there he was cast down headlong. By Wesley

If you put the verse in the search box, it will pull up the chapter and highlight your scripture in yellow. Then you can scroll down to the Commentary Box to read a scholars comment.

Why isn't the scapegoat (Azazel) mentioned here? The Day of Atonement was supposed to be observed forever according to Leviticus.

Stanjett:
Are you sure about the comment you made about the Jew and the white calender's
If we are true to ourselves, honest in believing that there is one creator for all, we must also believe that the calendar that was given to us to track time, is the one true calendar.

The Anglo-Saxon English speaking race has manipulated the Word of God, in so many ways. God created everything in 7 days, 1 year was 336 days with man's changing of the one true calendar we have stretched the year from 336 days to 365 and a quarter. This is wrong on so many levels, our months as well as the years are out of alignment.

Lots of questions about the Sabbath in these forums. Sabbath is on Saturday. The Jews was to rest on this day. do no work Most Christians worship on Sunday. Jesus rose from the dead on a Sunday is why we choose this day to come together to worship. Even thou we should worship Him everyday.

Yes the Catholic church changed the Julian calendar to the Gregorian. Constantine was a SUN worshipper so are the Jesuits look up their symbol. But where not COMMANDED TO SET ASIDE A DAY FOR THE LORD. You can pick any day or none. I do like David says SEVEN TIMES A DAY DO I PRAISE THEE!

I heard the Sabbath starts Friday sundown until Saturday sundown. Amen.

The sabbath day is not Sunday it's Saturday. Am I correct?

Hebrews chap. 4 explains the Sabbath the true rest of God Gods rest its awesome read it when in doubt look in the word as for the dream keep reading your word the Lord will speak thru Christ in his word don't look to the left or right but to Jesus and him alone God bless

Ex12:16 1 Cor16:2

God blessed and sanctified the Sabbath Gen. 2:1-3 and kept the Sabbath after the completion of creation. No other day in the Bible was blessed or sanctified by God. You will not find it through out the Bible. The Bible says in Daniel 7:25, man will think to change time and laws. Read it in its entirety. Days were not named in the Bible, they were numbered 1st day, 2nd day, 3rd day so forth and so on . Days of the week are names of pagan gods, look up how the days of the week names originated. Also Jesus rested in the tomb on the Sabbath and rose the first day of the week. Luke 24:1 Hebrews 4:1-8 speaks of entering into a rest, a rest which is the seventh-day and He never changed. Man has made Sunday the day of rest, because Jesus rose the first day of the week which they call it resurrection Sunday. This isn 't justified by the Word of God.

For anyone keeping track of dates. The bible clearly states after Joshua said stand still sun, that the moon now become the time keeper for the months, seasons and years. The sun counted the days, So Saturday sunrise to sunrise is the Sabbath day.. note the true new moon rises and and sets with the sun northern hemisphere so 354 days with no leap years 12 months is how they kept time. Daniel 2:21 ... Psalms 104:19 ... Numbers 28:14 ... 1Kings 4.7 . The moon is the start of the month but the sun is the start of the day, thats why whenever the next day is mentioned, its always after dawn beginning of day Keep the sabbath day

I don 't under stand

I only believe in the kjv bible well people are still looking for the scape goat nothing has changed they are still rejecting JESUS

As you said that there is nowhere in the bible that says sunday is the day of worship,and it is so also, but does that mean that the Sabbath day of rest that God has establish that poeple have the adosity to say that the Sabbath rest is sunday? It depends on what kind of work you are refering to also to help some one that need a help, some one came at your door and ask for a meal will u not prepare it for him, or go help someone that is il and there home is in a mess lack of there sickness will u not tidy that person house for them that it may be clean??? it all depends at the cituation of that moment. And sunday is not the day of rest that God had establish from the beginning of creation. Gen 2:3, Exo 20:8-10, Exo 34:21. there are many more texes in the bible consening the Sbth loook them up.God is a God that never changes and would not turn back on his words.

I came home from prayer meeting at ~8am this morning then went to sleep and in my dream I saw " Numbers 28:7" written - I am trying to understand the significance of this.

Actually, concerning the 'ereb boqer (evenings, mornings) of verse 14, the Adventists are not in error on this point. It's all in the word order. "Evening and morning" is the Biblical language used for meaning one day. This principle is set forth in the book of Genesis:

"So the evening and the morning were the first day." (1:5)

"So the evening and the morning were the second day." (1:8)

"So the evening and the morning were the third day." (1:13)

And so forth. In the Bible, days begin in the evening. Hence the reason the Lord said "from evening to evening, you shall celebrate your sabbath" ( Leviticus 23:32). The morning, then, would be the second part of the day.

However, with regards to sacrifices, this order is reversed. Instead of evening and morning, the language use for offerings is morning and evening. This is made plain in the following examples:

Exodus 29:39
One lamb you shall offer in the morning, and the other lamb you shall offer at twilight ['ereb].

Numbers 28:4
The one lamb you shall offer in the morning, the other lamb you shall offer in the evening.

2 Kings 16:15
On the great new altar burn the morning burnt offering, the evening grain offering...

1 Chronicles 16:40
to offer burnt offerings to the Lord on the altar of burnt offering regularly morning and evening...

2 Chronicles 2:4
...for the burnt offerings morning and evening, on the Sabbaths, on the New Moons, and on the set feasts of the LORD our God...

2 Chronicles 13:11
And they burn to the LORD every morning and every evening burnt sacrifices and sweet incense...

Thus the phrase "morning" and "evening" became the staple for signifying sacrificial offerings all throughout Scripture. As Siegfried Schwantes points out, this expression perpetuated into the post-Old Testament when the Apocrypha came about. 1 Esdras 5:50 says, "and they offered sacrifices according to the time, and burnt offerings to the Lord both morning and evening."

Now, if the text in Daniel 8:14 had stated 2300 mornings and evenings, then a case could be made that the passage was, indeed, talking about sacrifices (though, I think, it would still seem that each morning and evening would stand for a day). However, the text doesn't use that order. Rather, it says "evenings and mornings" which, as indicated above, is the language used for a day. So, the KJV rendering of 'ereb boqer as meaning "days" may be a bit interpretive, but it is by no means inaccurate. The translators knew what they were doing in this case. So, understanding that the expression means 2300 days and applying the year-day principle to this text (which had also been done from time to time prior to the Millerite movement), the doctrine that this is a 2300 year prophecy stands upon firm ground.
