But ye shall offer an offering made by, fire unto the Lord seven days,…. A burnt offering was to be offered unto the Lord on everyone of the seven days, which were two young bullocks, one ram, and seven lambs; besides a meat offering, and a goat for a sin offering, Nu 28:19;
in the seventh day [is] an holy convocation, ye shall do no servile work [therein]; as on the first day, that was on account of the Israelites going out of Egypt; and this is said, on account of Pharaoh and his host being drowned on it; [See comments on Ex 12:16].

(8) But ye shall offer.Better, and ye shall offer. In addition to the daily ordinary sacrifices, there were offered on this day, and on the following six days, two young bullocks, a ram, and seven lambs of the first year, with meat offerings for a burnt offering, and a goat for a sin offering (Num. 28:19-23). Be sides these public sacrifices, there were the voluntary offerings which were made by every private individual who appeared before the Lord in Jerusalem (Exo. 23:15; Deu. 16:16), and which, according to the practice during the second Temple, consisted of (1) a burnt offering of not less in value than sixteen grains of corn; (2) a festive offering called chagigah, the minimum value of which was thirty-two grains of corn; and (3) a peace or joyful offering (Deu. 27:7), the value of which was left to be determined by the good will of the offerer in accordance with Deu. 27:7. These victims were offered with the ritual prescribed in Lev. 3:1-5; Lev. 7:16-18; Lev. 7:29-34.
In the seventh day . . . ye shall do no servile work.This was, in all respects, celebrated like the first, with the exception that it did not commence with the paschal meal. During the intervening days the people indulged in public amusements, as dances, songs, games, &c, to fill up the time in harmony with the joyful and solemn character of the festival. They were also allowed to irrigate dry land, dig watercourses, repair conduits, reservoirs, roads, &c.

8. Offering made by fire See note on chap. Lev 1:9.
The seventh day This is not the seventh day of the week but of the feast, which, since it must begin on a fixed day of the month, might fall on any day of the week.
Hence there might be three days of holy convocation in the passover week, one of which would be the creation or decalogue sabbath, and the other two the feast sabbaths, the first and seventh days.
