Teaching Points The Importance of Regular WorshipThe monthly offerings remind us of the importance of regular, intentional worship and dedication to God. Just as the Israelites had a structured time to present offerings, we too should have regular times of worship and reflection. Holiness and Purity The requirement for offerings to be "without blemish" underscores the holiness and purity God desires. In our lives, we are called to present ourselves as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God. Renewal and New Beginnings The new moon offerings symbolize renewal and new beginnings. Each month, we have the opportunity to recommit ourselves to God, seeking His guidance and strength for the days ahead. Community and Corporate Worship These offerings were a communal activity, reminding us of the importance of gathering together as a body of believers to worship and support one another in our faith journey.(11) In the beginnings of your months . . . --The beginning of the month was announced by the blowing of the silver trumpets (Numbers 10:10). Increased respect was paid to the beginning of the month in later times. Trade was suspended (Amos 8:5), and religious instruction appears to have been given at this time (2Kings 4:23).Verse 11. - In the beginnings of your months. The new-moon offering also is here enjoined for the first time, the festival itself having only been incidentally mentioned in Numbers 10:10. 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. Deuteronomy 4:19; Job 31:26, 27; Jeremiah 7:18; Jeremiah 8:2). 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 (1 Samuel 20:5), and as a day for religious instruction (2 Kings 4:23). From the latter passage, and from such passages as Isaiah 66:23; Ezekiel 46:1; Amos 8:5, 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).
