Contextual Overview

33 The Lord spoke to Moses: 34 "Tell the Israelites, ‘On the fifteenth day of this seventh month is the Festival of Temporary Shelters for seven days to the Lord . 35 On the first day is a holy assembly; you must do no regular work. 36 For seven days you must present a gift to the Lord .

Gill's Notes on the Bible

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; Numbers 29:13- ::

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;

Numbers 29:35- :.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

An offering made by fire - See Leviticus 23:8. The succession of sacrifices prescribed in Numbers 29:12-38, which forms such a marked feature in the Feast of Tabernacles, tends to show the distinctness of the “solemn assembly” from the festal week.
