Leviticus 23:36

36 Each day for seven days you shall present a food offering. On the eighth day come together again for worship and present a food offering. It is a day for worship, and you shall do no work

Leviticus 23:36 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 23:36

Seven days ye shall offer an offering made, by fire unto the
Lord
A burnt offering; what this was, and how many were offered on each day, see at large in ( Numbers 29:13-34 ) ;

on the eighth day shall be an holy convocation unto you;
as on the first day; (See Gill on Leviticus 23:35):

and ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto the Lord;
which was different from that on all the other days, being one bullock only ( Numbers 29:35 Numbers 29:36 ) ;

it [is] a solemn assembly;
of all the people, when they were gathered together before the Lord. Some render the word used a "restraint" or "detention", and interpret it of restraining or detaining them from servile work, as in the next clause; so Aben Ezra and Gersom; but this sense seems to make that clause unnecessary and is never used elsewhere where that is:

ye shall do no servile work [therein];
as on the first day; (See Gill on Leviticus 23:35).

Leviticus 23:36 In-Context

35 On the first of these days come together for worship and do none of your daily work.

36 Each day for seven days you shall present a food offering. On the eighth day come together again for worship and present a food offering. It is a day for worship, and you shall do no work

37 (These are the religious festivals on which you honor the Lord by gathering together for worship and presenting food offerings, burnt offerings, grain offerings, sacrifices, and wine offerings, as required day by day.

38 These festivals are in addition to the regular Sabbaths, and these offerings are in addition to your regular gifts, your offerings as fulfillment of vows, and your freewill offerings that you give to the Lord.
