The following verses are provided to show the context according to Scripture. A study of the historical application of chodesh is a separate study.

 

BeMidbar [Numbers] 10:10,  " 'and in the day of your gladness, and in your appointed seasons, and in the beginnings of your months, you will blow also with the trumpets over your burnt offerings, and over the sacrifices of your shalom offerings, and they have been to you for a memorial before your elohey; i am YHWH your elohey.' "

 

BeMidbar 28:11-14,  " 'and in the beginnings of your months you will bring near a burnt offering to YHWH, two bulls, sons of the herd, and one ram, seven lambs, sons of a year, perfect ones;  12 and three-tenth deals of flour, a present, mixed with oil, for the one bull, and two-tenth deals of flour, a present, mixed with oil, for the one ram.  13 and a several tenth deal of flour, a present, mixed with oil, for the one lamb; a burnt offering, a sweet fragrance, a fire offering to YHWH.  14 and their drink offerings are a half of the hin to a bull, and a third of the hin to a ram, and a fourth of the hin to a lamb, of wine; this, the burnt offering of every month for the months of the year.' "

 

YeshaYahu [Isaiah] 1:13,14,  " 'do not add to bringing vain sacrifice; its incense is an abomination to me. i cannot endure the new moon and shabbath, the going to meeting, and the evil assembly.  my nafesh hates your new moons and your moadey. they are a burden to me. i am weary of bearing them.' "

 

YeshaYahu 66:23,  " 'and it will be, from new moon to its new moon, and from shabbath to its shabbath, all flesh will come to worship before me,' says YHWH."

 

Yechezqel [Ezekiel] 45:17,  " 'and responsibility for burnt offerings will be on the prince, and a food offering, and drink offerings, in the feasts and on the new moons and on the shabbathoth, in all the moadey of the beyth yisrael. he will make the sin offering, and the food offering, and the burnt offering, and the shalom offerings, to atone for the beyth yisrael.' "

 

Thehillah [Psalm] 81:3(4),4(5),  " 'blow the shofar in the new moon, at the full moon, on our feast day.  for this was a rule for yisrael, an ordinance of the elohey of yaaqob.' "

 

I Dibrey HaYamiym [I Chronicles] 23:28-31,  "because their office was to wait on the

sons of aharon for the service of the beyth YHWH, in the courts, and in the chambers, and in the purifying of all set apart things, and the work of the service of beyth of the elohiym, both for the bread of arrangement, and for the fine flour for food offering, and for the unleavened cakes, and for the pan, and for what is soaked in oil, and for every measure and size, and to stand every morning to thank and praise YHWH, and likewise at evening. and they were to offer all burnt sacrifices to YHWH in the shabbath, in the new moons, and on the moadiym, by number, according to the order commanded to them, continually before the face of YHWH,"

 

 

II Dibrey HaYamiym 2:3(4),  " 'look, i am building a beyth to the name YHWH elohay, to dedicate to him, to burn incense of sweet spices before him, and for the continual bread of arrangement, and for burnt offerings morning and evening, on the shabbath, and on the new moons, and at the moadey of YHWH our elohey. this will be on yisrael forever.' "

 

II Dibrey HaYamiym 8:12,13, "then shlomoh offered burnt offerings to YHWH on the altar of YHWH that he had built before the porch,  even as the matter of every day required, offering according to the commands of mosheh, on the shabbathoth, and on the new moons, and on the moadoth three times in the year, on chag hamatstsoth, and on chag hashabuoth, and on chag hasukkoth."
