| Numbers 10:10
| If at any time you shall have a banquet, and on your festival days, and on the first days of your months, you shall sound the trumpets over the holocausts, and the sacrifices of peace-offerings, that they may be to you for a remembrance of your God. I am the Lord your God.
| And on. This serves to explain what kind of banquet is meant. On the festivals of religion, peace-offerings were made, of which those who were pure, might partake. (Haydock) --- On solemn and extraordinary occasions, holocausts were also presented to God by the whole nation; and the trumpets announced those public rejoicings, 2 Paralipomenon 5:12., and 29:26. (Calmet) --- Months. The day when the moon first appeared, was a festival day among the Jews, (Menochius) or the first day of the month, while they observed the solar year.
