Verse 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 ,
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, &c.; Numbers 29:35 ,
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 .
Be the first to react on this!
