10<\/strong>. the day of your gladness<\/em> ] Any special public festival of joy or thanksgiving, e.g. after a victory.<\/p>\n your set feasts<\/em> ] your<\/em> fixed solemnities<\/strong>, whether festival or fast. They are enumerated in the priestly calendar (ch. 28 f., Leviticus 23<\/span>) the Passover, the three Annual Festivals (viz. Feast of Unleavened Cakes; F. of Weeks; F. of Booths), the Day of Atonement, and the F. of Trumpet-blowing.<\/p>\n in the beginnings of your months<\/em> ] Every new moon, i.e. the 1st day of the month. The F. of Trumpet-blowing was the greatest of these the 1st day of the sacred seventh month (Num 29:1<\/span>). See Psa 81:3<\/span> f.<\/p>\n In the day of your gladness – <\/B>Compare Num 29:1<\/span>; Lev 23:24<\/U><\/span>; 2Ch 29:27<\/span>; Ezr 3:10<\/span>; Neh 12:35<\/span>, Neh 12:41<\/span>; Psa 81:3<\/span>.<\/P> <\/p>\n Verse 10<\/span>. In the day of your gladness<\/B><\/I>] On every festival the people shall be collected by the same means.<\/P><\/p>\n Days of your gladness, <\/B>i.e. days appointed for rejoicing and thanksgiving to God, either for former mercies, or for succeeding deliverances, as Est 9:18<\/span>, &c. Compare Hos 2:11<\/span>. <\/P> Your solemn days; <\/B>your stated and constant festivals. <\/P> The beginnings of months, <\/B>of which see Psa 81:3<\/span>. <\/P> A memorial before your God; <\/B>that God may remember you for good to accept and bless you; as that phrase oft signifies. <\/P> <\/p>\n 10. Also in the day of yourgladness, and in your solemn days<\/B>Festive and thanksgivingoccasions were to be ushered in with the trumpets, as all feastsafterwards were (Psa 81:3<\/span>;2Ch 29:27<\/span>) to intimate the joyousand delighted feelings with which they engaged in the service of God.<\/P><\/p>\n Also in the day of your gladness<\/strong>,…. When they should return from the enemy’s country conquerors, or have vanquished the enemy that came against them into their own land, and so would fix a day of rejoicing, like the days of Purim, and the seven days when Hezekiah rejoiced, as Aben Ezra observes; and so any time of rejoicing on account of any extraordinary deliverance and salvation:<\/p>\n and in your solemn days<\/strong>; or festivals, as the passover, pentecost, and tabernacles, which were proclaimed by sound of trumpet, Le 23:2<\/span>;<\/p>\n and in the beginnings of your months<\/strong>; their new moons, especially on the first day of the seventh month, which was a feast of blowing of trumpets, Le 23:24<\/span>;<\/p>\n ye shall blow with the trumpets over your burnt offerings, and over your peace offerings<\/strong>; expressing joy for the acceptance of them, and especially when they had, by faith, a view of the great sacrifice of Christ typified by them: this is a fourth use of the trumpets, and may denote the spiritual joy had by believers, through the ministration of the Gospel, and ordinances of it on the Lord’s day, and other seasons, and particularly at the feast of the Lord’s supper, in the view of peace and reconciliation, and atonement made by the sacrifice of Christ:<\/p>\n that they may be to you for a memorial before your God<\/strong>; as it were, to put him in mind of the promises he has made, and the blessings he has laid up as a covenant God for his people:<\/p>\n I [am] the Lord your God<\/strong>; who had a right to appoint such things to be observed by them, and by whom, as their covenant God, they were laid under obligation to regard them.<\/p>\n 10. Also in the day of your gladness. This was as if God should make it manifest that He approved of no festivals, and that no sacrifices pleased Him, except His command should go before them; for it was not lawful for the people to choose this or that day, but the authority for prescribing them was in the hands of the ministers of sacred things. And, indeed, God Himself had appointed the New-moons ( Neomenias, vel novilunia) and the other solemnities; but, lest any change should occur, since men are ever daring in their innovations, He would have their lawful observation sanctioned by the sound of the trumpets; as if, by the mouth of the priests, He Himself published the holy assemblies. The sacrifices, which others have translated “of your peace-offerings,” (78) I translate, and not without reason, “of your prosperities.” For this is what שלמיכם, shalmecem, properly means; and it was the name they gave to their supplications and testimonies of thanksgiving, when they had been delivered from some great danger, or were visited by some extraordinary blessing from God. But Moses says that the trumpets were to be “for a memorial before their God;” because when they should have assembled at His command, He would look upon them, and honor them with His paternal favor. <\/p>\n (78) So A.V שלמיכם, Pacificorum vestrorum , is the rendering of SM. To justify rendering this form of the word your prosperities, the vowel-points should be different. Your sacrifices of thanksgiving, is the ordinary interpretation of the lexicographers. — W <\/p>\n (10) In the day of your gladness.<\/strong>As, e.g., <\/em>at the dedication of Solomons temple (2Ch. 5:13<\/span>), and at the cleansing of the Temple by Hezekiah (2Ch. 29:27-28<\/span>). Compare Psa. 98:6<\/span>.<\/p>\n For a memorial.<\/strong>Compare Lev. 23:24<\/span>.<\/p>\n Before your God: I am the Lord your God.<\/strong>Or, Before your God, <\/em>(even) before me, Jehovah, your God. <\/em>(Comp. Num. 3:13<\/span> and Note.)<\/p>\n 10<\/strong>. <\/strong> Gladness <\/strong> was the fourth occasion for the use of these sacred implements. Such occasions were the dedication of the first temple, (2Ch 5:12-13<\/span>,) the laying the foundation of the second, (Ezr 3:10-11<\/span>,) and the dedication of the new wall of Jerusalem. Neh 12:27<\/span>; Neh 12:35<\/span>. <\/p>\n Solemn days <\/strong> Annual fasts and feasts. R.V., “Set feasts.” See Leviticus xvi and 23. <\/p>\n In the beginnings of your months <\/strong> Jehovah afterward ordered David and the prophets to add other instruments in the new moon feasts, such as harps, psalteries, cymbals; timbrels, and flutes. 2Ch 7:6 ; 1Ch 16:5-6<\/span>; Psa 150:3<\/span>. Peace offerings<\/strong>, being joyful feasts, are very properly “accompanied with the sound of the trumpet as a symbol of holy hilarity.” Bush. <\/p>\n <\/em><\/p>\n A memorial <\/strong> See Lev 2:2<\/span>, note. <\/p>\n I am the Lord <\/strong> The name of JEHOVAH is a sufficient sanction to this statute. They who deem this matter too small to be worthy of minute mention by the Creator of all things should consider that his greatness is enhanced by his ability and willingness alike to direct the atom in the air and the solar system sweeping through space. Nothing is a trifle which relates to the proper celebration of divine worship.<\/p>\n Num 10:10<\/span><\/em><\/strong>. <\/strong>In the beginnings of your months<\/em><\/strong><\/strong> See on ch. Num 28:11<\/span>. <\/p>\n REFLECTIONS.<\/strong>God gives directions here for the making silver trumpets. They must be two, each of beaten silver, and the priests alone must blow in them. The ministers of God must always lift up their voice as a trumpet, boldly and zealously for God, and their word be not only pure as the silver, but musical as the trumpet’s swelling note, big with the glad tidings of a free salvation through Jesus, and heard to the ends of the earth. <\/p>\n The use of these trumpets was, 1. If both trumpets were blown in a continued tone, the whole congregation were summoned to the tabernacle; if one, the heads of the tribes only. It is thus by the ministry of the gospel that souls are called to Christ; and in a resurrection-day they will be awakened by the trumpet’s voice, to appear before the throne of God. 2. An interrupted blast intimated a march; and by this signal, at intervals, the several camps, first of Judah, then of Reuben, next of Ephraim, and lastly of Dan, were directed in their motions. They who would march aright to heaven, must attend to the word of God spoken by his servants. 3. In times of invasion and war, these martial instruments were to awaken their courage; and when sounded, God promises to fight for them. Though the world is full of enemies against the people of God, we may boldly go forth under the strength-inspiring promises of God’s word, and be assured of certain victory through Jesus, the Captain of our salvation. 4. Their solemn assemblies and feasts were enlivened with the joyful sound, intimating, that when we draw near to God in holy duties, it should not be a wearisome service, but the very joy and rejoicing of our hearts. <\/p>\n Did not this mean to say, that GOD in CHRIST is to be enjoyed in everything. And what, indeed, are all our feasts and sacrifices except JESUS be in them? Psa 81:1-4<\/span> .<\/p>\n Num 10:10 Also in the day of your gladness, and in your solemn days, and in the beginnings of your months, ye shall blow with the trumpets over your burnt offerings, and over the sacrifices of your peace offerings; that they may be to you for a memorial before your God: I [am] the LORD your God.<\/p>\n Ver. 10. For a memorial.<\/strong> ] Or, A sacred sign, to mind and assure them that God will hear their suits, and accept of their services thus performed with joy of faith.<\/p>\n solemn days = appointed seasons. Between Num 10:10 and Num 10:11 comes in the account of Jethro, Ex. 18. See Deu 1:7-14, where the choosing of judges takes place after Horeb, but is recorded in Exodus 18 before Horeb. <\/p>\n in the day: Num 29:1, Lev 23:24, Lev 25:9, Lev 25:10, 1Ch 15:24, 1Ch 15:28, 1Ch 16:42, 2Ch 5:12, 2Ch 5:13, 2Ch 7:6, 2Ch 29:26, 2Ch 29:28, Ezr 3:10, Neh 12:35, Psa 81:3, Psa 89:15, Psa 98:5, Psa 98:6, Psa 150:3, Isa 27:13, Isa 55:1-4, Mat 11:28, 1Co 15:52, 1Th 4:16, 1Th 4:18, Rev 22:17 <\/p>\n a memorial: Num 10:9, Exo 28:29, Exo 30:16, Jos 4:7, Act 10:4, 1Co 11:24-26 <\/p>\n Reciprocal: Num 28:11 – in the beginnings Jdg 21:19 – a feast 1Sa 20:5 – the new moon 2Ki 4:23 – new moon 1Ch 23:31 – in the sabbaths Neh 2:20 – memorial Neh 12:43 – offered Amo 8:5 – When Col 2:16 – the new<\/p>\n Num 10:10.
