New Moon:
The first day of the lunar month was observed as a holy day. In addition to the daily sacrifice there were offered two young bullocks, a ram and seven lambs of the first year as a burnt offering, with the proper meat offerings and drink offerings, and a kid as a sin offering (Numbers 28:11-15). As on the Sabbath, trade and handicraft work were stopped (Amos 8:5) and the temple was opened for public worship (Isaiah 66:23; Ezekiel 46:3). The trumpets were blown at the offering of the special sacrifices for the day, as on the solemn festivals (Numbers 10:10; Psalm 81:3). It was an occasion for state banquets (1 Samuel 20:5-24). In later, if not in earlier, times fasting was intermitted at the new moons (Judith 8:6). The new moons are generally mentioned so as to show that they were regarded as a peculiar class of holy days, distinguished from the solemn feasts and the Sabbaths (1 Chronicles 23:31; 2 Chronicles 2:4; 8:13; 31:3; Ezra 3:5; Nehemiah 10:33; Ezekiel 45:17). The seventh new moon of the religious year, being that of Tisri, commenced the civil year, and had a significance and rites of its own. It was a day of holy convocation. The religious observance of the day of the new moon may plainly be regarded as the consecration of a natural division of time.
