present eight bulls, two rams
on Numbers 29:29-34
The week comes to seventy bulls, fourteen rams, ninety-eight lambs and seven goats. Adam Clarke remarks on what the week cost a nation that paid no other tax. The Babylonian Talmud at Sukkah 55b reads the seventy bulls as offered for the seventy nations of Genesis 10.

drink offerings for the bulls
Matthew Henry offers a second reading of the shrinking count. The falling numbers, he suggests, may hint that the order of the law would grow old and pass away. In his words, the multitude of their sacrifices should end in one great sacrifice.
