Quick answer
The Trumpets offerings were added to the monthly new-moon and daily continual offerings, layering special worship onto the ongoing routine.
Overview
Because this feast fell on the first of the month, its sacrifices joined both the new-moon and the daily offerings, all rising as a pleasant aroma to God. The accumulation shows how Israel's worship built layer upon layer without ever interrupting the continual devotion. The unbroken offerings foreshadow the perpetual sufficiency of Christ's one sacrifice.
