What does Leviticus 23:38 mean?
John Gill's Exposition of the Bible
Leviticus 23:38
Beside the sabbaths of the Lord
The seventh day sabbaths, which were of his appointing, and
sacred to his service and worship; on which, when any of the
feasts fell, it did not hinder the observance of them, or the
offering of the several sacrifices on them; nor were those of the
sabbath to be omitted on the account of them:
and beside your gifts;
either of the whole congregation, or of a private person, which
they thought well to give of their own good will on these
festivals, over and above the sacrifices enjoined:
and beside all your vows, and beside all your freewill
offerings, which
ye give unto the Lord;
which seem to explain what is meant before by gifts.
