Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Deuteronomy 16:2-3

Deuteronomy 16:2-3. Thou shalt sacrifice the passover Strictly so called; which was the paschal lamb. The sheep and oxen here mentioned were additional sacrifices which were to be offered in the seven days of the paschal solemnity, Numbers 28:18. Indeed, the passage may be rendered, Thou shalt therefore observe the feast of the passover unto the Lord thy God with sheep and with oxen.

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Deuteronomy 16:2

2. Thou shalt therefore sacrifice the passover—not the paschal lamb, which was strictly and properly the passover. The whole solemnity is here meant, as is evident from the mention of the additional victims that required to be offered on the subsequent days of the feast (Numbers 28:18; Numbers 28:19; 2 Chronicles 35:8; 2 Chronicles 35:9), and from the allusion to the continued use of unleavened bread for seven days, whereas the passover itself was to be eaten at once.
