To this there was also to be added a sin-offering of a shaggy goat (see at <span class='bible'>Lev 4:23<\/span>).

Whilst, then, a burnt-offering, in which the idea of expiation was subordinate to that of consecrating surrender to the Lord, was sufficient for the single day; for the whole month it was necessary that, in consideration of the sins that had been committed in the course of the past month, and had remained without expiation, a special sin-offering should be offered for their expiation, in order that, upon the ground of the forgiveness and reconciliation with God which had been thereby obtained, the lives of the people might be sanctified afresh to the Lord in the burnt-offering. This significance of the new moon sacrifice was still further intensified by the fact, that during the presentation of the sacrifice the priests sounded the silver trumpets, in order that it might be to the congregation for a memorial before God (<span class='bible'>Num 10:10<\/span>). The trumpet blast was intended to bring before God the prayers of the congregation embodied in the sacrifice, that God might remember them in mercy, granting them the forgiveness of their sins and power for sanctification, and quickening them again in the fellowship of His saving grace&rdquo; (see my <em> Archaeologie<\/em>, i. p. 369).<\/p>\n<h4 align='right'><i><b>Fuente: Keil &amp; Delitzsch Commentary on the Old Testament<\/b><\/i><\/h4>\n<p><strong>Verses 11-15:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>The new moon festival <\/strong>is mentioned briefly in Nu 10:10.

Rather than the lambs alone, which had been specified for the previous offerings, on this occasion the animals were bulls and rams, in addition to seven supplementary lambs. Then was added a shaggy goat, as at <span class='bible'>Lev. 4:23<\/span>, although in fact the goat may have been first in the sequence of the offering (see <span class='bible'>Exo. 29:10-14<\/span>). As instituted, the new moon was not a feast day; however, practices associated with such days began to attach to the new moon: it was a time used for presenting yearly thank-offerings (<span class='bible'>1Sa. 20:6<\/span>; <span class='bible'>1Sa. 20:29<\/span>); common trading was stopped (<span class='bible'>Amo. 8:5<\/span>); the people came to the prophets for teaching (<span class='bible'>2Ki. 4:23<\/span>); and, the prophets themselves speak of the time as festive (<span class='bible'>Isa. 1:13<\/span>; <span class='bible'>Hos. 2:13<\/span>; <span class='bible'>Eze. 46:1<\/span>).<\/p>\n<p>The true purpose of the day was to bring in remembrance before God those sins committed during the month for which pardon had not been received, and to renew their life-covenant with the Lord through the burnt offering. Blowing the silver trumpets proclaimed the congregation of the people (see <span class='bible'>Num. 10:10<\/span>) to bring the prayers of the people unto the Lord through the sacrifices, and to invoke His merciful pardon and a renewal of His grace. Thus the people were regularly and often reminded that their very lives were spared by such grace, and that to take such kindness for granted would be a mark of impiety and ingratitude.<\/p>\n<p><strong>QUESTIONS AND RESEARCH ITEMS<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>521.<\/p>\n<p>Examine the Hebrew calendar in a good Bible dictionary and see how the months and the new moons coincided.<\/p>\n<p>522.<\/p>\n<p>Compute the number of animals which would be used in the monthly sacrifices over a period of one year, using twelve months as a basis.<\/p>\n<p>523.<\/p>\n<p>What practices became attached to the offerings of the new moon?

These expressed gratitude to Yahweh for the continual maintenance of the times and the seasons (see <span class='bible'>Gen 8:22<\/span>), and the unchangeableness of creation. And they were a dedication to Yahweh on that day of their labour and service to Yahweh in the moon period ahead, and a making of atonement for their failures in the moon period that had passed. They had grown used to watching the moon and seeing it as being almost on the point of disappearing, and then as beginning to grow until it became full again, but they never forgot that it was due to Yahweh&rsquo;s control and power (<span class='bible'>Gen 1:16-18<\/span>). And they were thankful. And in their offerings on the new moon day was the heart cry, &lsquo;let the moon flourish again&rsquo;. <\/p>\n<p> The new moon day was a day for feasting (<span class='bible'>1Sa 20:5-6<\/span>), a day for those who had special concerns to visit prophets (<span class='bible'>2Ki 4:23<\/span>) and became a day when all trading was to cease (<span class='bible'>Amo 8:5<\/span>), even though it was not usually a seven day Sabbath. Its special importance comes out in that the trumpets were to be blown when its offerings were offered (<span class='bible'>Num 10:10<\/span>), similarly to at set feasts.

Two young ox bulls, one ram and seven he-lambs were to be offered up as whole burnt offerings, offerings that &lsquo;went up&rsquo;, together with suitable grain offerings depending on the level of offering. (Three tenths for an ox bull, two tenths for a ram, and one tenth for each he-lamb). These male animals and grain offerings represented the source of their herds and flocks and the abundance of grain as provided to them by Yahweh. And they rose as a pleasing odour to Yahweh, an offering made to Him by fire. They would celebrate the possessions that would be theirs once Yahweh had given them the land (and the possessions that they had already received as a result of their present victories). <\/p>\n<p> <span class='bible'><strong> Num 28:14<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style='margin-left:1.8em'><strong> &ldquo;<\/strong> And their drink-offerings shall be half a hin of wine for an ox bull, and the third part of a hin for the ram, and the fourth part of a hin for a lamb.

For it was necessary that the people be purified, and the camp be purified, continually if Yahweh was to dwell among them (<span class='bible'>Num 15:24-26<\/span>).

See Spencer, de Leg. Heb. lib. 3: Dissert. 4. But as one of the most natural divisions of time is by the periodical revolutions of the moon, which, in the more serene climates, could be easily observed by all; so it is not improbable, as Le Clerc has well remarked, that the solemn celebration of the new moon, in honour of the true God, was in use even before the rise of idolatry, and might make a part of the patriarchal religion; consequently, this law of Moses may be considered only as the revival of a primitive sacred institution, which idolatry had abused to superstition.
