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 of the festival you must proclaim an official day for holy assembly, when you do no ordinary work.

36 For seven days you must present special gifts to the LORD . The eighth day is another holy day on which you present your special gifts to the LORD . This will be a solemn occasion, and no ordinary work may be done that day.

37 (“These are the LORD ’s appointed festivals. Celebrate them each year as official days for holy assembly by presenting special gifts to the LORD —burnt offerings, grain offerings, sacrifices, and liquid offerings—each on its proper day.

38 These festivals must be observed in addition to the LORD ’s regular Sabbath days, and the offerings are in addition to your personal gifts, the offerings you give to fulfill your vows, and the voluntary offerings you present to the LORD .)

39 “Remember that this seven-day festival to the LORD —the Festival of Shelters—begins on the fifteenth day of the appointed month, after you have harvested all the produce of the land. The first day and the eighth day of the festival will be days of complete rest.
