Study note

Setting — The text records God’s instructions to the prince regarding festival sacrifices. This directive occurs within a broader vision detailing temple rituals and land allocations.

The words — The phrase בַּ/חֲמִשָּׁה֩ עָשָׂ֨ר (ba./cha.mi.Shah 'a.Sar) translates literally to "on the fifteenth," marking the precise start of the seven-day feast. The verb יַעֲשֶׂ֥ה (ya.'a.Seh) means "he will provide," specifying the prince’s duty to supply the required offerings.

The thread — This festival timing aligns with the Feast of Tabernacles outlined in Leviticus 23:33 and Numbers 29:12, which also mandate a sacred assembly on the fifteenth day of the seventh month. The historical gathering at this feast is recorded in 2 Chronicles 5:3.

Why it lands — The text demands strict adherence to a divinely appointed schedule for communal worship and atonement. It requires the reader to recognize that worship operates on fixed divine timing rather than human convenience.
