Context — Instructions for Offeringsgenerated
Numbers 29:26 outlines the specific offerings to be made on the fifth day of the festival. This verse is part of a larger section detailing the sacrificial requirements during the Feast of Tabernacles, emphasizing the importance of proper worship and the need for offerings to be without defect. The instructions serve to maintain the sanctity of the rituals performed before God.
Cross References
The Key Word — תְּמִימִֽם, te.mi.Mimgenerated
The Hebrew word תָּמִים (*tamiym*) means unblemished or perfect. It is used to describe animals that are whole and without defects, which is crucial for sacrifices in the biblical context. The parsing indicates that it functions as an adjective, describing the quality required of the offerings.
This term reflects a broader theme in the sacrificial system, where purity and wholeness are essential for acceptable worship. The emphasis on being unblemished signifies the need for integrity and truth in one's offerings to God.
How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated
This study reads the verse in the Berean Standard Bible, so the BSB is the wording every comparison below is made against. The BSB uses unblemished, a rendering that aligns with the requirement for sacrifices.
Where translations differ, they do so primarily in the rendering of תְּמִימִֽם. The KJV opts for without spot, while the BSB and others maintain the term unblemished. This difference highlights the focus on the quality of the offerings.
Sentence Structuregenerated
The main clause is governed by the verb phrase וּבַיּ֧וֹם, and on the day, which introduces the timing of the offerings. Several noun phrases follow, detailing the specific offerings required.
The structure emphasizes the order of the offerings: first the number of bulls, followed by rams, and then lambs, all of which are to be presented in a specific manner, reflecting the ritualistic nature of the instructions.
Septuagint Backgroundgenerated
The Septuagint translates תְּמִימִֽם as ἀμώμους, meaning 'without blemish'. This choice reinforces the idea of purity required in offerings, consistent with the Hebrew text.
The LXX's use of the term indicates a focus on the moral and ritual cleanliness expected in the sacrifices, aligning with the broader themes of holiness in worship.

da (yom; hemera): This common word has caused some trouble to plain readers, because they have not noticed that the word is used in several different senses in the English Bible. When the different uses of the word are understood the difficulty of interpretation vanishes. We note several different uses of the word:
(1) It sometimes means the time from daylight till dark. This popular meaning is easily discovered by the context, e. g. Ge 1:5; 8:22, etc. The marked periods of this daytime were morning, noon and night, as with us. See Ps 55:17. The early hours were sometimes called "the cool of the day" (Ge 3:8). After the exile the day. or daytime was divided into twelve hours and the night into twelve (see
Day
The Jews reckoned the day from sunset to sunset (Lev. 23:32). It was originally divided into three parts (Ps. 55:17). “The heat of the day” (1 Sam. 11:11; Neh. 7:3) was at our nine o’clock, and “the cool of the day” just before sunset (Gen. 3:8). Before the Captivity the Jews divided the night into three watches, (1) from sunset to midnight (Lam. 2:19); (2) from midnight till the cock-crowing (Judg. 7:19); and (3) from the cock-crowing till sunrise (Ex.…
The variable length of the natural day at different seasons led in the very earliest times to the adoption of the civil day (or one revolution of the sun) as a standard of time. The Hebrews reckoned the day from evening to evening, (Leviticus 23:32) deriving it from (Genesis 1:5) "the evening and the morning were the first day." The Jews are supposed, like the modern Arabs, to have adopted from an early period minute specifications of the parts of the natural day. Roughly, indeed, they were content to divide it into "morning, evening and noonday," (Psalms 55:17) but when they wished for greater accuracy they pointed to six unequal parts, each of which was again subdivided. These are held to have been -- "the dawn." "Sunrise."…
The day is distinguished into natural, civil, and artificial. The natural day is one revolution of the earth on its axis. The civil day is that, the beginning and the end of which are determined by the custom of any nation. The Hebrews began their day in the evening, Le 23:32; the Babylonians at sunrise; and we begin at midnight. The artificial day is the time of the sun’s continuance above the horizon, which is unequal according to different seasons, on account of the obliquity of the equator. The sacred writers generally divide the day into twelve hours. The sixth hour always ends at noon throughout the year; and the twelfth hour is the last hour before sunset. But in summer, all the hours of the day were longer than in winter, while those of night were shorter. See HOURS, and THREE.

Year
Heb. shanah, meaning “repetition” or “revolution” (Gen. 1:14; 5:3). Among the ancient Egyptians the year consisted of twelve months of thirty days each, with five days added to make it a complete revolution of the earth round the sun. The Jews reckoned the year in two ways, (1) according to a sacred calendar, in which the year began about the time of the vernal equinox, with the month Abib; and (2) according to a civil calendar, in which the year began about the time of the autumnal equinox, with the month Nisan. The month Tisri is now the beginning of the Jewish year.
the highest ordinary division of time. Two years were known to, and apparently used by, the Hebrews. A year of 360 days appears to have been in use in Noah’s time. The year used by the Hebrews from the time of the exodus may: be said to have been then instituted, since a current month, Abib, on the 14th day of which the first Passover was kept, was then made the first month of the year.

But it is certain that the months were lunar, each commencing with a new moon. There must therefore have been some…
The Hebrews always had years of twelve months. But at the beginning, as some suppose, they were solar years of twelve months, each month having thirty days, excepting the twelfth, which had thirty-five days. We see, by the enumeration of the days of the deluge, Ge 7:1-8:22, that the original year consisted of three hundred and sixtyfive days. It is supposed that they had an intercalary month at the end of one hundred and twenty years, at which time the beginning of their year would be out of its place full thirty days. Subsequently, however, and throughout the history of the Jews, the year was wholly lunar, having alternately a full month of thirty days, and a defective month of twenty-nine days, thus completing their year in three hundred and fifty-four days. To accommodate this lunar year to the solar year, (365 days, 5 hours, 48…
