Guiding Questions: Numbers 29

This is part of the Tanakh Yomi Project.

  1. What do we call the day described in Numbers 29:1?
  2. And how do we describe the day set down in Numbers 29:7-10?
  3. Is this day described in somewhat other fashion elsewhere?
  4. What holiday follows, described in Numbers 29:12 et seq?
  5. In Numbers 29:35, what is the meaning of the word “atzeret” and the refrain that “no work is to be done?” How would that reflect on the earlier days in this chapter for this particular holiday?
  6. And, with this chapter, have all of the biblical holidays been “covered?”
  7. Would the first verse of Numbers 30 appear to belong with that chapter or to serve as a conclusion to Numbers 29?
