Leviticus 23:37 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 23:37

These [are] the feasts of the Lord
Besides the sabbath, as Gersom observes; even the passover, the seven days of unleavened bread the day of Pentecost, the day of blowing the trumpets, the day of atonement, and the seven days of the feast of tabernacles;

which ye shall proclaim [to be] holy convocations:
as they had been directed, ( Leviticus 23:2 ) ;

to offer an offering made by fire unto the Lord;
which is explained by

a burnt offering, and a meat offering,
which went along with it;

a sacrifice,
which the Targums of Onkelos and Jonathan call the sacrifice of holy things; according to Gersom it was the sacrifice of the peace offerings; but rather it seems to be the sacrifice of the sin offering, which was ordered along with the rest in all those feasts:

and drink offerings;
which also accompanied the meat offerings:

everything upon his day;
there being different sacrifices on one day than on another, everyone was to be offered peculiar to the day as was ordered; of which see ( Numbers 28:29 ) .

Leviticus 23:37 In-Context

35 On the first day [there shall be] a holy assembly; you must not do any {regular work}.
36 [For] seven days you must present an offering made by fire to Yahweh. On the eighth day it shall be a holy assembly for you, and you shall present an offering made by fire to Yahweh; it [is] a celebration; you must not do {any regular work}.
37 " 'These [are] Yahweh's festivals, which you must proclaim, holy assemblies to present an offering made by fire to Yahweh--burnt offering and grain offering, sacrifice and libations, {each on its proper day}--
38 {besides} Yahweh's Sabbaths and {besides} your gifts and {besides} your vows and {besides} all your freewill offerings that you give to Yahweh.
39 " 'Surely on the fifteenth day of the seventh month, at your gathering the land's produce, you shall hold Yahweh's festival for seven days; on the first day [there shall be] a rest period and on the eighth day a rest period.
