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 The first day is a sacred assembly; do no regular work.
36 For seven days present food offerings to the LORD, and on the eighth day hold a sacred assembly and present a food offering to the LORD. It is the closing special assembly; do no regular work.
37 (“ ‘These are the LORD’s appointed festivals, which you are to proclaim as sacred assemblies for bringing food offerings to the LORD—the burnt offerings and grain offerings, sacrifices and drink offerings required for each day.
38 These offerings are in addition to those for the LORD’s Sabbaths and in addition to your gifts and whatever you have vowed and all the freewill offerings you give to the LORD.)
39 “ ‘So beginning with the fifteenth day of the seventh month, after you have gathered the crops of the land, celebrate the festival to the LORD for seven days; the first day is a day of sabbath rest, and the eighth day also is a day of sabbath rest.
