Without blemish - This is to be understood as applying, not only to the animals, but also to the flour, wine, and oil; every thing must be perfect in its kind.

This site's exposition

On the day of firstfruits

on Numbers 28:26-31

This feast has no date in any month, since Leviticus 23:15-16 places it by counting: "You shall count off fifty days". Acts 2:1 has the disciples together "When the day of Pentecost came".

This site's exposition

The animals must be unblemished

The Berean names the animals, and Adam Clarke applies the same demand to the flour, wine and oil. Everything was to be perfect of its kind. Ambrose of Milan carries it into the life of faith, where a believer strives for works as whole as the feast offerings.
