Exegetical and Hermeneutical Commentary of Leviticus 23:37
These [are] the feasts of the LORD, which ye shall proclaim [to be] holy convocations, to offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD, a burnt offering, and a meat offering, a sacrifice, and drink offerings, every thing upon his day:
37, 38. Subscription to the whole (see on Lev 23:2-4)
We may note that in the summary given in these vv. there is no mention of the Sin-Offering prescribed in Num 28:15; Num 28:22; Num 28:30; Num 29:5, &c.

The meaning appears to be; these are the yearly appointed times on which ye shall hold holy convocations and offer to Yahweh sacrifices, in addition to the Sabbath offerings Num 28:9-10 and to all your voluntary offerings. Compare Num 29:39.

A sacrifice, i.e. another sacrifice, to wit, for a sin-offering, as we shall find it Num 29:16,19,22, &c., called by the general name, a sacrifice, because it was designed for that which was the principal end of all sacrifices, to wit, for the expiation of sin.

These [are] the feasts of the Lord,…. Besides the sabbath, as Gersom observes; even the passover, the seven days of unleavened bread the day of Pentecost, the day of blowing the trumpets, the day of atonement, and the seven days of the feast of tabernacles;
which ye shall proclaim [to be] holy convocations: as they had been directed, Le 23:2;
to offer an offering made by fire unto the Lord; which is explained by
a burnt offering, and a meat offering, which went along with it;
a sacrifice, which the Targums of Onkelos and Jonathan call the sacrifice of holy things; according to Gersom it was the sacrifice of the peace offerings; but rather it seems to be the sacrifice of the sin offering, which was ordered along with the rest in all those feasts:
and drink offerings; which also accompanied the meat offerings:
everything upon his day; there being different sacrifices on one day than on another, everyone was to be offered peculiar to the day as was ordered; of which see Nu 28:29.

(37) These are the feasts of the Lord.That is, the above-named six festivals, viz.(1) the Passover (Lev. 23:4-14), (2) Pentecost Lev. 23:15-22), (3) New Year (Lev. 23:23-25), (4) Day of Atonement (Lev. 23:26-32), (5) Tabernacles (Lev. 23:33-36 a), and (6) the concluding festival (Lev. 23:36 b). Thus the list of these festivals concludes with the formula by which they were introduced in Lev. 23:4.
To offer an offering.On these festivals sacrifices are to be offered as prescribed in Numbers 28, 29.

A Summary ( Lev 23:37-38 ).
Lev 23:37
“These are the set feasts of Yahweh, which you shall proclaim to be holy convocations, to offer an offering made by fire to Yahweh, a whole burnt offering, and a grain offering, a sacrifice, and drink-offerings, each on its own day;
These then were the set feasts of Yahweh which were to be proclaimed as holy ‘getting-togethers’ for the offering of offerings made by fire to Yahweh, including whole burnt offerings, grain offerings, sacrifices and drink-offerings each on its own day. The ‘sacrifices’ were presumably the purification for sin offerings of the he-goats.
Lev 23:38
“Besides the sabbaths of Yahweh, and besides your gifts, and besides all your vows, and besides all your freewill-offerings, which you give to Yahweh.”
And this time and these offerings were offered to Yahweh on top of the regular Sabbaths, and their own freewill gifts, and all their vows, and all their freewill offerings which would provide the basis of the feasting. All these too would be given to Yahweh.
