Commentary on Numbers 29:35

Theological / Devotional

A solemn assembly. The eighth day was set apart as a day of solemn joy before Jehovah. The word thus translated is from a root meaning “to restrain.” A noun form of the same root is translated “magistrate,” literally, “a possessor of restraint,” as in Judges 18:7. On this day the children of Israel were to refrain from all secular work, and devote their thoughts to Jehovah.
