Ye shall offer these beside the burnt offering in the morning ,.... The daily morning sacrifice, and also besides the daily evening sacrifices, though it is not expressed: which is for a continual burnt offering ; and not to be intermitted on any account, let the sacrifices of the day be ever so numerous; great care is taken to observe this. read more
After this manner ye shall offer daily throughout the seven days ,.... That is, two bullocks, one ram, and seven lambs, for a burnt offering, on everyone of the seven days; but then they were not all holy convocations, only the first and last: the meat of the sacrifice made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the Lord ; it seems by this that only the burnt offering was offered up every day, but not a goat of the sin offering, that was peculiar to the first day: it shall be offered beside... read more

Verse 16 16.And in the fourteenth day. It is true that the instruction here given has some connection with the feast of the passover, but since the sacrifices are avowedly treated of, and no mention is made of its other observances, except in this place, I have connected it with the continual sacrifice, as its concomitant or part. Moses cursorily refers, indeed, to what we have already seen, i.e., that the people should abstain from leaven for seven days, and eat unleavened bread; but he... read more
Verse 26 26.Also in the day of thefirst-fruits. Moses delivers the same commandment as to another festival, viz., that on which they offered their first-fruits. Then, also, he instructs them, the continual sacrifice was to be increased by the addition of two bullocks, one ram, seven lambs, a goat for a sin-offering, together with the minha and a libation, with the object, of which I have already spoken.
