the seventh4 parallels

That is , the month Tisri , the seventh month of their ecclesiastical year , but the first of their civil year , answering to our September. This , which was their new year's day , was a time of great festivity , and ushered in by the blowing of trumpets; whence it was also called the feast of blowing the trumpets. In imitation of this Jewish festival , different nations began the new year with sacrifices and festivity. The ancient Egyptians did so; and the Persians also celebrated their nawee rooz , or new year's day , which they held on the vernal equinox , and which "lasted ten days , during which all ranks seemed to participate in one general joy. The rich sent presents to the poor; all were dressed in their holiday clothes; all kept open house; and religious processions , music , dancing , a species of theatrical exhibition , rustic sports , and other pastimes , presented a continued round of varied amusement. Even the dead , and the ideal beings were not forgotten; rich viands being placed on the tops of houses and high towers , on the flavour of which the Peris , and spirits of their departed heroes and friends , were supposed to feast." After the Mohammedan conquest of Persia , the celebration of this period sensibly declined , and at last totally ceased , till the time of Jelaladdin . about ad 1082 who , coming to the crown at the vernal equinox , re-established the ancient festival , which has ever since been celebrated with pomp and acclamations

the first day of the month The monthly sacrifices were regulated by the new moons; and it is probable that the solemn sacrifices were appointed by God , to prevent the idolatry which was usual among the heathen at this period; who expressed the most extravagant rejoicings on the first appearance of the new moon. Moses , however , used the return of the moon only as one of the most natural and convenient measures of time; and appointed sacrifices to Jehovah , to prevent the Israelites from falling into the idolatries of their heathen neighbours. In the serene climate of Arabia and Judea , its first faint crescent is , for the most part , visible to all.

the fifteenth day14 parallels

This was the feast of Tabernacles , kept in commemoration of their dwelling in tents in the wilderness for forty years. The first and last days were to be kept as sabbaths , on which there were solemn assemblies; and for seven days sacrifices were offered. On the other festivals , two bullocks sufficed

  • Numbers 28:11
  • Numbers 28:19
  • Numbers 28:27 and on the festival at the beginning of this month , only one was appointed; but , on the first day of this festival , thirteen young bullocks were appointed; and so on each successive day , with the decrease of only one bullock , till on the seventh day , there were only seven , making in all seventy bullocks. The lambs , and the rams also , were in a double proportion to the number sacrificed at any other festival. This was an expensive service; but more easy at this time of the year than any other , as Bishop Patrick observes , because now their barns were full , and their wine-presses overflowed; and their hearts might well be supposed to be more enlarged than at other times , in thankfulness to God for the multitude of his mercies. The Jewish doctors give this reason for the daily diminution of the number of the bullocks . the whole number , say they , was according to the languages of the seventy nations of the world; and the diminution of one every day signified , that there should be a gradual diminution of those nations till all things were brought under the government of the Messiah; in whose days "no sacrifices shall remain , but those of thanksgiving , prayer , and praise."

Though this day was properly a distinct festival , and esteemed the chief or high day of the feast , yet fewer sacrifices are appointed for it than for any of the foregoing seven. On every one of them two rams and fourteen lambs were offered; but on this day there were but half as many; and whereas seven bullocks were the fewest that were offered on any of those days , on this there was only one. At this feast , there was an extraordinary ceremony of which the rabbins inform us , namely , the drawing water out of the pool of Siloam , and pouring it , mixed with wine , on the sacrifice as it lay on the altar. This they are said to have done with such expressions of joy , that it became a common proverb , "He that never saw the rejoicing of drawing of water , never saw rejoicing in all his life." The Jews pretend to ground this custom on the following passage of Isaiah

  • Isaiah 12:3 "With joy shall ye draw water out of the wells of salvation;" and to this ceremony Jesus is supposed to refer , when "in the last day , the great day of the feast , he stood and cried , saying , If any man thirst , let him come unto me , and drink . he that believeth on me , as the Scripture saith , out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water"

It appears from the account in these two chapters , that there were annually offered to God , at the public charge , independently of a prodigious number of voluntary , vow , and trespass offerings , 15 goats , 21 kids , 72 rams , 132 bullocks , and 1 ,101 lambs. But how little is all this compared with the lambs slain every year at the passover. Cestius , the Roman general , asked the priests how many persons had come to Jerusalem at their annual festivals . the priests , numbering the people by the lambs that had been slain , said , "twenty-five myriads , 5 ,000 , and 600."
