Commentary
5 notes on this verseAnd in the fifteenth day of this month is the feast,.... Not of the passover, that was the day before, but of unleavened bread, which began on this day, and lasted seven days, Lev 23:6 which is what the Jews call the Chagigah: seven days shall unleavened bread be eaten; see Exo 12:15.
This site's exposition
The fourteenth day of the first month
on Numbers 28:16-19
The dates of the Passover and the seven-day Feast of Unleavened Bread stand as Exodus 12:6 and Leviticus 23:5-6 had set them. This chapter adds the altar offering for those days, which Barnes observes had not been prescribed before.
This site's exposition
for seven days unleavened bread
John Gill notes that the Jews call this feast the Chagigah. It is the week of unleavened bread, and the Passover itself fell the day before. Matthew Henry points to 1 Corinthians 5:8, where Paul calls the Christian life the keeping of this feast.
The record, by era
The Puritans and the Awakening1 voice
A gospel conversation, in gratitude for Christ our passover who was sacrificed, is called the keeping of this feast ( 1 Cor. v. 8 ); for it is not enough that we purge out the leavened bread of malice and wickedness, but we must offer the bread of our God, even the sacrifice of praise, continually, and continue herein unto the end.

proposed
26, 27. in the day of the first-fruits . . . offer the burnt offering--A new sacrifice is here ordered for the celebration of this festival, in addition to the other offering, which was to accompany the first-fruits (Le 23:18).
