Old Testament Reading - The Feast of Trumpets

thumb

1“The Festival of Trumpets shall be celebrated on the fifteenth day of Septembera each year; there shall be a solemn assembly of all the people on that day, and no hard work may be done. 2On that day you shall offer a burnt sacrifice consisting of one young bull, one ram, and seven yearling male lambs — all without defect. These are sacrifices which the Lord will appreciate and enjoy. 3-4A grain offering of nine quarts of fine flour mingled with oil shall be offered with the bull, six quarts with the ram, and three quarts with each of the seven lambs. 5In addition, there shall be a male goat sacrificed as a sin offering, to make atonement for you. 6These special sacrifices are in addition to the regular monthly burnt offering for that day,b and also in addition to the regular daily burnt sacrifices, which are to be offered with the respective grain offerings and drink offerings, as specified by the ordinances governing them."

. . . . Numbers 29:1-6
  1. Literally, “upon the first day of the seventh month” (of the Hebrew calendar).
  2. Literally, “burnt offerings of the new moon.”

The Lord's Prayer

Our Father in heaven,
     hallowed be your name,
     your kingdom come,
     your will be done,
          on earth as in heaven.
Give us today our daily bread.
Forgive us our sins
     as we forgive those who sin against us.
Save us from the time of trial
     and deliver us from evil.
For the kingdom, the power, and the glory are yours
     now and for ever.
Amen.
