On the fifteenth day of the seventh month

This site's exposition
each of the fourteen lambs
The fourteen lambs bring the first day's grain to fifty-seven tenths of an ephah, against twelve on the first of the month. Jamieson, Fausset & Brown say these details are given with a minuteness suited to the infant state of the church. Nothing on this day is left to judgment.

on the fifteenth day--was to be held the feast of booths or tabernacles. The feast was to last seven days, the first and last of which were to be kept as Sabbaths, and a particular offering was prescribed for each day, the details of which are given with a minuteness suited to the infant state of the church.
