And on your joyous occasions
The phrase "joyous occasions" refers to times of celebration and festivity in the life of the Israelites. In Hebrew, the word for "joyous" is often linked to expressions of gladness and delight, reflecting the communal and spiritual joy experienced during these times. Historically, these occasions were not just social gatherings but were deeply rooted in religious observance, serving as a reminder of God's provision and blessings.

your appointed feasts
"Appointed feasts" translates from the Hebrew "moedim," which means set times or seasons. These were divinely ordained times for worship and remembrance, such as Passover and the Feast of Tabernacles. Each feast had specific rituals and significance, often commemorating God's past acts of salvation and provision. They were central to Israel's religious life, reinforcing their identity as God's chosen people.

and New Moon festivals
The "New Moon festivals" were monthly observances marking the beginning of a new month in the Hebrew calendar. The new moon was a time for renewal and reflection, symbolizing new beginnings. Archaeological findings suggest that these festivals were common in ancient Near Eastern cultures, but for Israel, they held a unique covenantal significance, reminding them of God's sovereignty over time and creation.

you are to sound the trumpets
The sounding of trumpets, specifically silver trumpets as described earlier in Numbers 10, was a call to worship and a signal for gathering. The Hebrew word for trumpet, "chatzotzerah," indicates a specific type of instrument used in sacred contexts. The trumpets served as a divine communication tool, calling the people to attention and marking significant moments in their communal and spiritual life.

over your burnt offerings and fellowship offerings
"Burnt offerings" and "fellowship offerings" were types of sacrifices made to God. The burnt offering, or "olah" in Hebrew, was entirely consumed by fire, symbolizing complete devotion to God. The fellowship offering, or "zevach shelamim," was a communal meal shared between the offerer, the priests, and God, symbolizing peace and fellowship. These offerings were acts of worship, expressing gratitude and seeking communion with God.

and they will be a reminder for you before your God
The phrase "a reminder for you" emphasizes the purpose of these rituals: to keep God's covenant and His mighty acts at the forefront of the Israelites' minds. The Hebrew concept of "reminder" is not just about memory but involves active participation in the covenant relationship. These practices were designed to continually renew the people's commitment to God and His laws.

I am the LORD your God
This declaration, "I am the LORD your God," is a reaffirmation of the covenant relationship between God and Israel. The use of "LORD" (YHWH) is God's personal name, signifying His eternal presence and faithfulness. This statement serves as a powerful reminder of God's authority, love, and the unique relationship He has with His people, calling them to live in obedience and trust.

(10) In the day of your gladness.--As, e.g., at the dedication of Solomon's temple (2Chronicles 5:13), and at the cleansing of the Temple by Hezekiah (2Chronicles 29:27-28). Compare Psalm 98:6.

For a memorial.--Compare Leviticus 23:24.

Before your God: I am the Lord your God.--Or, Before your God, (even) before me, Jehovah, your God. (Comp. Numbers 3:13 and Note.) . . .

Verse 10. - In the day of your gladness. Any day of national thanksgiving, celebrated with religious services, as the feast of the dedication (John 10:22) or of Purim (Esther 9:19, sqq.). In your solemn days. מועַדים. The feasts appointed to be observed by the law (see chapters 28, and 29.). In the beginnings of your months. New moon days (Psalm 81:3). Only the first day of the seventh month was properly a feast (Leviticus 23:24), but all were distinguished by special sacrifices (chapter 28:11).
