And afterwards offered the continual burnt offering,.... Not after the feast of tabernacles, as if they then began to offer the daily sacrifice; for that they did as soon as the altar was set up, and on the first day of the month, Ezr 3:3, rather the sense is, that after the daily burnt offering of the morning, they offered the other sacrifices peculiar to the several days of the feast of tabernacles; they never neglected that, yea, always began with it; all the rest were after it, and so on other festivals:
both of the new moons, and of all the set feasts of the Lord that were consecrated; to the service of the Lord, and the honour of his name, as every first day of the month, and every other appointed festival, they offered the sacrifices appropriate to each; but not to the neglect of that sacrifice, and always after it:

both of the new moons, and of all the set feasts &c.] R.V. ‘and the offerings of the new moons, and of all the set feasts’ &c. The A.V. gives the wrong impression that ‘the continual burnt offering’ belonged to ‘the new moons, set feasts,’ &c. The R.V. gives the right meaning.
The verse states that the Jews, now that the altar had been set up and the new order of things initiated by the solemn celebration of the Feast of Tabernacles, resumed the customary burnt offerings, (1) daily, morning and evening, (2) at the new moon, (3) on all ‘set feasts’, (4) on the occasion of freewill offerings.
‘the new moons’. A popular day of religious observance among the Israelites (cf. 2Ki_4:23; Hos_2:11; Amo_8:5): not included among ‘the set feasts’ described in Leviticus 23, where the first day of the seventh month is the only new-moon day spoken of as a ‘holy convocation’ (Lev_23:24). Perhaps because the observance of ‘the new moons’ had been adopted from the general religious customs of the Semitic races, it received no special prominence in the Levitical code. The sacrifices for the ‘new moons’ are described in Num_28:11-15.
the set feasts]—see Lev_23:2-37, ‘The set feasts of the Lord, which ye shall proclaim to be holy convocations’ (R.V.),—i.e. (1) the Sabbath ( Lev_23:3), (2) the Passover ( Lev_23:5), (3) the Feast of Weeks ( Lev_23:15-21), (4) the Feast of Trumpets ( Lev_23:24), (5) the Day of Atonement ( Lev_23:27-32), (6) the Feast of Tabernacles ( Lev_23:34-36). In 2Ch_8:13, ‘the set feasts’ are the three great annual festivals, ‘unleavened bread’, ‘weeks’, ‘tabernacles’, and these are probably intended here.
The ‘new moons’ and the ‘set feasts’ are found along with ‘the Sabbaths’ in 1Ch_23:31; 2Ch_2:4; 2Ch_8:13; 2Ch_31:3; Neh_10:33.
a freewill offering] Freewill offerings were made (1) on the great feast-days, see Deu_16:10; Deu_16:16-17; and (2) whensoever any individual Israelite or Gentile desired (Num_29:39). They are called ‘oblations’ (Corbans) in Leviticus 1, 2, 3, where they are defined in detail.

(5) Both of the new moons.—And of the new moons. The whole verse is general and anticipatory. The new moons, the three feasts, and the constant presentation of freewill offerings, added to the daily sacrifice, made up the essentials of ritual; all being, like the arrangements in the Book of Leviticus, fixed before the Temple was built, and afterwards observed.

PERMANENT ESTABLISHMENT OF THE DAILY SACRIFICE, THE SET FEASTS, AND THE OFFERING OF FREE-WILL OFFERINGS (vers. 5, 6). Having set up the altar, and celebrated the particular festival which the revolving year happened to have brought round, and which it would have been wrong to neglect, the exiles re-established permanently three things:
1. The daily sacrifice;
Read full note →
2. The celebration of the new moons and other regular feasts; and
3. The practice of allowing the people to bring offerings whenever they pleased, to be offered on the great altar by the priest or priests in attendance.
The first of these was for atonement; the second for public thanksgiving and acknowledgment of God"s mercies; the third for private devotion, the payment of vows, and the like.
The continual burnt offering. This is beyond a doubt the daily morning and evening sacrifice, called "the continual burnt offering" in Exo_29:42 and Num_28:3-6. The clause is not modified by the succeeding words, which are additional, not exegetical, and which should not be translated, as in the A. V, both of the new moons, but, and those of the new moons." The returned exiles kept henceforth regularly both the daily morning and evening sacrifice, and also that appointed for the new moons, (Num_28:11-15) and those appointed for the other "set feasts,"such as the passover and the feast of Pentecost. And of every one that willingly offered. Nor was this all. The practice was resumed of sacrificing on the great altar at any time any freewill offerings that individual Israelites might bring. (see Lev 1:, Lev 2:, Lev_2:3, etc.) Thus provision was made for all that was most essential in the ritual of religion, while the temple itself still remained unbuilt (see ver. 6).

3:5-6 The catalog of sacrifices, offered even before the Temple’s foundation was laid, showed the people’s enthusiasm for faithfully worshiping God at every opportunity. They did everything exactly as they were instructed in the law. • The new moon celebrations took place on the first day of every Hebrew month; the sacrifices and blowing of trumpets reminded the people of God’s covenant with them (Num 10:10; 28:11-15). • Voluntary offerings were such gifts as money for building the Temple (Exod 35:29; 36:3). The Hebrew term can also refer to peace offerings of meat or bread that were eaten to celebrate fellowship with God (Lev 7:11-21).
