During the feast of Tabernacles there seems to be a gradual decrease of the number of bulls offered from the first day to the last.What is of note is that only the bulls offered decrees in number whilst the other animals remain the same throughout.
Numbers 29:12 NASB
12 ‘Then on the fifteenth day of the seventh month you shall have a holy convocation; you shall do no laborious work, and you shall observe a feast to the Lord for seven days. 13 You shall present a burnt offering, an offering by fire as a soothing aroma to the Lord: thirteen bulls, two rams, fourteen male lambs one year old, which are without defect
17 ‘Then on the second day: twelve bulls, two rams, fourteen male lambs one year old without defect;
20 ‘Then on the third day: eleven bulls, two rams, fourteen male lambs one year old without defect;
23 ‘Then on the fourth day: ten bulls, two rams, fourteen male lambs one year old without defect;
26 ‘Then on the fifth day: nine bulls, two rams, fourteen male lambs one year old without defect;
29 ‘Then on the sixth day: eight bulls, two rams, fourteen male lambs one year old without defect;
32 ‘Then on the seventh day: seven bulls, two rams, fourteen male lambs one year old without defect;
In the other seven day festival(Unleaveaned bread) the animals offered throughout the festival remain the same up to the last day.
What was the significance of the decrease in this particular festival?
