This feast is a time of rejoicing and thanksgiving for the harvest. The number three often signifies completeness or divine perfection in the Bible, as seen in the resurrection of Jesus on the third day, symbolizing new life and fulfillment.<p><b>you are to present</b><br>The act of presenting offerings is a form of worship and obedience to God's commands. It reflects the Israelites' acknowledgment of God's provision and sovereignty. This practice is rooted in the sacrificial system established in the Mosaic Law, which foreshadows the ultimate sacrifice of Jesus Christ.<p><b>eleven bulls</b><br>Bulls were considered valuable and significant offerings due to their size and strength. The number eleven, while not as symbolically prominent as other numbers, indicates a substantial offering, reflecting the importance of the feast. Bulls are often associated with leadership and strength, and their sacrifice points to the need for atonement and reconciliation with God.<p><b>two rams</b><br>Rams are often associated with substitutionary sacrifice, as seen in the story of Abraham and Isaac, where a ram was provided as a substitute for Isaac. The number two can signify witness or testimony, suggesting that these offerings bear witness to God's covenant with His people.<p><b>and fourteen male lambs a year old</b><br>Lambs are frequently used in sacrificial offerings due to their innocence and purity, symbolizing the sinless nature of Christ, the Lamb of God. The number fourteen, being a multiple of seven, signifies completeness and perfection. The age of one year indicates the lambs are in their prime, representing the best of what the Israelites could offer.<p><b>all unblemished</b><br>The requirement for offerings to be unblemished underscores the need for purity and perfection in sacrifices, pointing to the sinless nature of Jesus Christ, the perfect sacrifice. This requirement emphasizes the holiness of God and the need for His people to approach Him with integrity and sincerity.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/i/israelites.htm">Israelites</a></b><br>The people of God who are receiving these instructions for offerings during the Feast of Tabernacles.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/m/moses.htm">Moses</a></b><br>The leader of the Israelites who conveyed God's laws and instructions to the people.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/f/feast_of_tabernacles.htm">Feast of Tabernacles (Sukkot)</a></b><br>A significant Jewish festival commemorating the Israelites' journey in the wilderness and God's provision.<br><br>4. <b><a href="/topical/o/offerings.htm">Offerings</a></b><br>Specific sacrifices commanded by God, including bulls, rams, and lambs, which were to be without blemish.<br><br>5. <b><a href="/topical/t/tabernacle.htm">Tabernacle</a></b><br>The dwelling place of God among His people, where these offerings were to be presented.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/t/the_importance_of_obedience.htm">The Importance of Obedience</a></b><br>The Israelites were required to follow God's instructions precisely, highlighting the importance of obedience in our walk with God.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/s/symbolism_of_sacrifices.htm">Symbolism of Sacrifices</a></b><br>The unblemished animals symbolize purity and point to Jesus Christ, the perfect sacrifice for our sins.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/g/god's_provision_and_faithfulness.htm">God's Provision and Faithfulness</a></b><br>The Feast of Tabernacles reminds us of God's provision and faithfulness during the Israelites' journey, encouraging us to trust in His provision today.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/w/worship_and_reverence.htm">Worship and Reverence</a></b><br>The detailed instructions for offerings teach us about approaching God with reverence and the seriousness of worship.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/c/community_and_celebration.htm">Community and Celebration</a></b><br>The communal aspect of the Feast of Tabernacles encourages us to celebrate God's goodness together as a community of believers.<div class="vheading2">Lists and Questions</div><a href="/top10/lessons_from_numbers_29.htm">Top 10 Lessons from Numbers 29</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/were_numbers_29_rituals_historically_feasible.htm">What evidence exists that these extensive rituals, detailed in Numbers 29, were historically observed or feasible at that scale?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/does_archaeology_support_numbers_29.htm">Is there any archaeological record corroborating the elaborate sacrificial system described in Numbers 29?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/do_numbers_29_offerings_conflict_with_isaiah.htm">How do the repeated animal offerings in Numbers 29 align or conflict with the later prophetic criticism of sacrifices (e.g., Isaiah 1:11)?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/how_did_israelites_supply_many_sacrifice_animals.htm">How could the Israelites realistically supply the large number of animals required for the consecutive sacrifices in Numbers 29?</a><a name="commentary" id="commentary"></a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><span class="versiontext"><a href="/commentaries/numbers/29-20.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">On the third</span><br /><span class="heb">הַשְּׁלִישִׁ֛י</span> <span class="translit">(haš·šə·lî·šî)</span><br /><span class="parse">Article | Number -
