Please Leave Your Offering at the Sound of Atone
Numbers 29: 7-11


So, this seems to be a return to the July 10 Day of Atonement that we discussed a couple of years ago.  Here's a reminder of that discussion:  http://chiphall.blogspot.com/2010/03/atone-deaf-leviticus-23-26-32-nine-days.html

But actually, we really began discussing it even earlier:  http://chiphall.blogspot.com/2009/10/escape-goat-leviticus-16-day-of.html


Moses' detail here is basically- on July 10th, don't eat, spend the day resting, and offer some burnt, sin, grain, and drink offerings...which doesn't really sound like a day of rest.  I see no mention of a sleep offering or netflix offering.

Doesn't seem like much new here- it seems to be a reestablishing of a ceremonial day from the past.
