The Hebrew calendar is lunar-based, and the New Moon was a time for both religious observance and civil administration. The New Moon festival is mentioned in other scriptures such as <a href="/1_samuel/20-5.htm">1 Samuel 20:5</a> and <a href="/psalms/81-3.htm">Psalm 81:3</a>, indicating its importance in Israelite worship and community life.<p><b>you are to present to the LORD</b><br>The act of presenting offerings to the LORD underscores the covenant relationship between God and Israel. It reflects the Israelites' acknowledgment of God's sovereignty and their dependence on Him. This practice is rooted in the sacrificial system established in the Torah, which served as a means of atonement and worship.<p><b>a burnt offering</b><br>Burnt offerings were one of the primary types of sacrifices in the Old Testament, symbolizing complete surrender and devotion to God. The entire animal was consumed by fire, representing the offerer's total commitment. This type of offering is first detailed in <a href="/leviticus/1.htm">Leviticus 1</a> and is a recurring theme throughout the Pentateuch.<p><b>of two young bulls, one ram, and seven male lambs a year old</b><br>The specific animals and their numbers have symbolic significance. Bulls were considered valuable and represented strength and leadership. Rams were often associated with substitutionary sacrifice, as seen in the story of Abraham and Isaac (<a href="/genesis/22-13.htm">Genesis 22:13</a>). The number seven is symbolic of completeness and perfection in the Bible, and the use of seven lambs emphasizes the thoroughness of the offering.<p><b>all unblemished</b><br>The requirement for unblemished animals signifies the need for purity and perfection in offerings to God. This prefigures the ultimate sacrifice of Jesus Christ, who is described as the "Lamb without blemish or defect" in <a href="/1_peter/1-19.htm">1 Peter 1:19</a>. The insistence on unblemished offerings highlights the holiness of God and the need for purity in worship.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_lord.htm">The LORD (Yahweh)</a></b><br>The covenant God of Israel, who commands the offerings and is the recipient of worship.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/m/moses.htm">Moses</a></b><br>The leader of the Israelites, through whom God gives these instructions.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/i/israelites.htm">Israelites</a></b><br>The people of God, who are to carry out these offerings as part of their covenant relationship with Yahweh.<br><br>4. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_tabernacle.htm">The Tabernacle</a></b><br>The place where these offerings are to be made, serving as the dwelling place of God among His people.<br><br>5. <b><a href="/topical/n/new_moon.htm">New Moon (Rosh Chodesh)</a></b><br>The first day of each month in the Hebrew calendar, marked by specific offerings and a time of renewal and dedication.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/t/the_importance_of_regular_worship.htm">The Importance of Regular Worship</a></b><br>The monthly offerings remind us of the importance of regular, intentional worship and dedication to God.

Increased respect was paid to the beginning of the month in later times. Trade was suspended (<a href="/amos/8-5.htm" title="Saying, When will the new moon be gone, that we may sell corn? and the sabbath, that we may set forth wheat, making the ephah small, and the shekel great, and falsifying the balances by deceit?">Amos 8:5</a>), and religious instruction appears to have been given at this time (<a href="/2_kings/4-23.htm" title="And he said, Why will you go to him to day? it is neither new moon, nor sabbath. And she said, It shall be well.">2Kings 4:23</a>).<p><div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/numbers/28.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div><span class="cmt_sub_title">Verse 11.</span> - <span class="cmt_word">In the beginnings of</span> <span class="cmt_word">your months.</span> The new-moon offering also is here enjoined for the first time, the festival itself having only been incidentally mentioned in <a href="/numbers/10-10.htm">Numbers 10:10</a>. There can be no doubt that this (unlike the sabbath) was a nature-festival, observed more or less by all nations. As such it did not require to be instituted, but only to be regulated and sanctified in order that it might not lend itself to idolatry, as it did among the heathen (cf. <a href="/deuteronomy/4-19.htm">Deuteronomy 4:19</a>; <a href="/job/31-26.htm">Job 31:26, 27</a>; <a href="/jeremiah/7-18.htm">Jeremiah 7:18</a>; <a href="/jeremiah/8-2.htm">Jeremiah 8:2</a>). The new-moon feast, depending upon no calendar but that of the sky, and more clearly marked in that than any other recurring period, was certain to fix itself deeply in the social and religious habits of a simple pastoral or agricultural people. Accordingly we find it incidentally mentioned as a day of social gathering (<a href="/1_samuel/20-5.htm">1 Samuel 20:5</a>), and as a day for religious instruction (<a href="/2_kings/4-23.htm">2 Kings 4:23</a>). From the latter passage, and from such passages as <a href="/isaiah/66-23.htm">Isaiah 66:23</a>; <a href="/ezekiel/46-1.htm">Ezekiel 46:1</a>; <a href="/amos/8-5.htm">Amos 8:5</a>, it is evident that the feast of the new moon became to the month exactly what the sabbath was to the week - a day of rest and of worship (see also Judith 8:6). <span class="p"><br /><br /></span><span class="versiontext"><a href="/commentaries/numbers/28-11.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a></span><span class="p"><br /><br /><br /></span><a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div><span class="word">At the beginning</span><br /><span class="heb">וּבְרָאשֵׁי֙</span> <span class="translit">(ū·ḇə·rā·šê)</span><br /><span class="parse">Conjunctive waw, Preposition-b | Noun -
