Numbers 28-30
An Overview of Chapter 28
These are instructions concerning offerings given at appointed times to be a soothing aroma to the Lord. These offerings were offered twice daily, every Sabbath (weekly), every month (1st of the month), and during the annual feasts of Unleavened Bread, First Fruits, and Feast of Weeks. During the feasts the daily offerings, Sabbath offerings, and new month offerings were still presented. These offerings included burnt offerings, grain offerings, drink offerings and sin offerings.
An Overview of Chapter 29
This continuation of instructions concerning offerings given at appointed times covers the seventh month of the year. Offerings were brought on the first day of the seventh month during the feast of trumpets. Offerings were brought on the tenth day of the seventh month for the day of atonement. Offerings were brought for a week starting on the 15th of this month for the feast of tabernacles. During these feasts the daily offerings, Sabbath offerings, and new moon offerings were still presented. These offerings included burnt offerings, grain offerings, drink offerings and sin offerings. What a bloody month!
In addition to all the appointed times of these offerings people still brought offerings when they made vows or at other times as determined by their will.
An Overview of Chapter 30
For men who make a vow they are required to keep it. Women who keep a vow can have it revoked by their father if they live with him, or their husband. Divorced women and widows must keep their vows.
Reflection
What daily, weekly, monthly, yearly, and freewill offerings do you bring to God? What holidays do you celebrate to remember God throughout the year? Do you keep the focus of those holidays on God? When you make a promise do you keep it?

Pastor, I only wished that I could keep every single promise that I make... the problem is my mouth-it commits to more than what time allows... do you have a cure? (grin)
Wow, thanks again for this ministry. You know I really don't think people fully understand what it takes to research and compose these-your blogs. I mean, you've told me a while ago... that they typically take several hours to complete, and I'm sure at times that there is a sense of stress in knowing that this needs to get done--not mentioning everything else that is on your plate. Yet, you do them, faithfully! And just for your information these blogs go all over the world! I've shared them with on-line classmates and relatives in Florida, Maryland, Arizona, and as far away as England..., there are Marines who are serving who know of this site, and some Army buddies in Iraq. So Pastor keep up the good work-you never know who's heart or in what location they are watching and turning to God.
