40 And Moses told the children of Israel according to all that the Lord commanded Moses. Numbers 29 KJV
These are the sacrifices that take place in the seventh month, the month of Abib (ear of corn, newly ripened grain), the first month of the ecclisiastical year. There are a great deal of sacrifices in this month, and those added did not remove that which was already in place. The honor and sacrifices bestowed to particular days does not remove the duty of every day. Why so much? Why so often? It decries the Saturday Jew and the Sunday Christian. It tears off the church face, the socially religious and demands not only the assembly of ourselves on that day, but a very personal daily relationship, the time of being still and knowing that He is God. There is also the daily reminder of the role of priest in the home. Have you set up the next generation to know that there is not only a God, but a Holy and Just God, Who has given the expectations of the law? In verse 7 they are told to afflict their souls and some write of fasting, but I think that would apply more to the body on that day. This seems more like introspection, the examining, sorrow, confession of our sins and that in the mirror of God's word. Blessed are they that mourn for they shall be comforted, Blessed are they that do hunger and thirst after righteousness for they shall be filled. Remember, it is the sick that need a physician, it is sinners who are called to repentance. If you are not a sinner than this isn't for you, you don't need Christ, but for the rest of us, it is how we come, souls afflicted. The progression of the sacrifices through the rest of the chapter is interesting, it does not build up but rather starts with 13 and ends with one. In the time of the law, many sacrifices were given, but at the fulfillment of the law, ONE. I think the last one reflects the dispensation of Messiah. We struggled with the law, it was good to show God's holiness, but it could not repair our deficiencies, but would allow for the affliction of the soul, the sorrow that leads to repentance, asking for mercy. All that came before, begged and pointe to that last One, the culmination of all.
For though I made you sorry with a letter, I do not repent, though I did repent: for I perceive that the same epistle hath made you sorry, though it were but for a season.

Now I rejoice, not that ye were made sorry, but that ye sorrowed to repentance: for ye were made sorry after a godly manner, that ye might receive damage by us in nothing.
10 For godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be repented of: but the sorrow of the world worketh death.
11 For behold this selfsame thing, that ye sorrowed after a godly sort, what carefulness it wrought in you, yea, what clearing of yourselves, yea, what indignation, yea, what fear, yea, what vehement desire, yea, what zeal, yea, what revenge! In all things ye have approved yourselves to be clear in this matter.
12 Wherefore, though I wrote unto you, I did it not for his cause that had done the wrong, nor for his cause that suffered wrong, but that our care for you in the sight of God might appear unto you.
13 Therefore we were comforted in your comfort: yea, and exceedingly the more joyed we for the joy of Titus, because his spirit was refreshed by you all.
14 For if I have boasted any thing to him of you, I am not ashamed; but as we spake all things to you in truth, even so our boasting, which I made before Titus, is found a truth.
15 And his inward affection is more abundant toward you, whilst he remembereth the obedience of you all, how with fear and trembling ye received him.
16 I rejoice therefore that I have confidence in you in all things. 2 Corinthians 7: 9-16 KJV
