Polyglot Bible: Numbers: Numbers 29

This is a liturgical-legal text from the Hebrew Bible — specifically Numbers 29 (the closing chapter of the festival calendar section) — presented in a parallel three-column format showing the King James Version (KJV), the Septuagint (LXX, ancient Greek translation), and the Hebrew Tanakh. The passage prescribes the exact sacrificial offerings required on each day of three autumn festivals in the seventh month: the Feast of Trumpets (1st day), the Day of Atonement (10th day), and the Feast of Tabernacles (15th–22nd days). The content is almost entirely a precise numerical enumeration — how many bulls, rams, lambs, goats, and accompanying grain and drink offerings must be brought on each occasion, with the bull count during Tabernacles notably descending each day from thirteen down to seven. The distinctive feature of the text's presentation is its scholarly apparatus: the KJV column includes Strong's concordance numbers after each word, making it a tool for Hebrew word study. Anyone interested in ancient Israelite ritual law, comparative textual criticism between the Hebrew and Greek biblical traditions, or Old Testament liturgical calendars would find this useful; those seeking narrative, theology, or interpretive commentary will find none here.
