Guiding Questions: Numbers 28

This is part of the Tanakh Yomi Project.

  1. In this sequence of offerings, what comes first (Numbers 28:2-8)?
  2. And on the Sabbath, there is an offering. What would that indicate as to “changes in approach as to fire and the like,” since this particular text was set down?
  3. Would Rosh Hodesh appear to rank Shabbat—does the list go from the “least important” to the most, or is that not the pattern?
  4. In Numbers 28:16-17, is Passover one day followed by another holiday or are the two meshed?
  5. What follows the listing of offerings for the Passover (Numbers 28:26 et seq)?
  6. Are any holidays of a biblical nature omitted in this chapter?
  7. And if your answer is “yes”, please move directly to chapter 29!
