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 Num 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.
