Leviticus 23:36

Seven days you shall offer an offering made by fire to the Lord. On the eighth day shall be a holy convocation to you; and you shall offer an offering made by fire to the Lord. It is a solemn assembly; you shall do no regular work.

KJV

Seven days ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD: on the eighth day shall be an holy convocation unto you; and ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD: it is a solemn assembly; and ye shall do no servile work therein.

Commentary

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 Num 29:13 , on the eighth day shall be an holy convocation unto you; as on the first day; See Gill on Lev 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. Num 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 Lev 23:35 .
