What is happening here?
Numbers 29 continues the sacrificial calendar through the seventh month. The first day includes trumpet observance, the tenth day is the day of afflicting souls associated with atonement, and the fifteenth begins the feast of tabernacles. Tabernacles has an unusually large sequence of offerings over seven days, with the number of bullocks decreasing daily, followed by an eighth-day solemn assembly. The chapter completes the annual worship schedule before the narrative turns to vows.
