Numbers 29 quotes:

“The lawgiver now passes in the most logical method, to define the limits of the land which Israel should regard as its inheritance, so that it should not seek to go out beyond these limits and
found a world empire (2 Sam. xxiv. ), nor rest within these boundaries until it has acquired and
occupied all the territory within them.”

“an assembly. The Heb . word ‘azereth contains nothing which implies that the assembly was of a specially solemn character. Before the exile an ‘azereth was held on the seventh day of the Feast of Unleavened Cakes (Dt. xvi. 8 ); and see Is. i . 13 (R.V. solemn meeting ‘), Am . v. 21. After the exile it was used , as here, of an assembly on the additional eighth dayof the Feast of Booths (Lev. xxiii . 36 , Neh . viii . 18 ) , and on a special fast day ( Joel i . 14, ii. 15) ; and the Chronicler relates that such an assembly was held as the climax of rejoicing on the eighth day ( contrast i K. viii. 66) at the dedication of Solomon’s temple (2 Ch . vii. 9) .”

“The offerings described are those pertaining to the feast of trumpets, the day of atonement, and the feast of tabernacles.”
