On the eighth day ye shall have a solemn assembly--The feast of tabernacles was brought to a close on the eighth day, which was the great day (Joh 7:37).

beside your vows, and your freewill offerings

on Numbers 29:39-40

Verse 39 keeps the set feasts beside your vows, and your freewill offerings, so the fixed calendar sets a floor and leaves voluntary worship standing on top of it. Verse 40 is the only line of narrative in the calendar, which opened at Numbers 28:1 as a single speech and ends here with Moses telling Israel all of it. The men who hear it are the second generation, numbered in chapter 26 after every man of the first had fallen, and the feasts they receive are feasts to be kept in a land none of them has yet entered.

Large directions had been given in Leviticus concerning the offerings of all sorts that should be brought by particular persons according to the providences of God concerning them and the graces of God in them. Though every Israelite had an interest in these common sacrifices, yet he must not think that these will serve instead of his vows and his free-will offerings.

The intention of divine institutions is well answered when one religious service helps to fit us for another and all for heaven. The blowing of the trumpets was appointed, Lev. xxiii. Here the people are directed what sacrifices to offer on that day, of which there was not then any mention made.

This, of course, is exclusive of the prodigious addition of lambs slain at the passover, which in later times, according to JOSEPHUS, amounted in a single year to the immense number of 255,600.
