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.

with its grain offering and drink offering
Matthew Henry notes that the days of rejoicing at this feast were also days of sacrifice. On the sixth day the sin offering still stands beside the joy of harvest. Henry holds that gladness does no harm when it enlarges the heart for worship, and the two share one day.

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.
