- Distinguish between the daily sacrifice throughout the year offered every morning and evening (28:3-8) and the additional sacrifices:
(a) on the Sabbath (28:9, 10);
(b) at the new moon each month (28:11-15);
(c) throughout the feast of unleavened bread and at the Passover itself (28:17-25, see Note below);
(d) at the Feast of Weeks (28:26-31);
(e) at the blowing of trumpets (29:1-6);
(f) on the Day of Atonement (29:7-11);
(g) at the Feast of Tabernacles (29:12-38). - It was easy for these sacrifices to become mere ritual- so much so that later prophets strongly condemned their misuse.
Amos 5:21-24 and Is. 1:11-18 give a clue as to the purpose of these offerings and to God’s real requirements in and through them. Cf. also Heb. 10:1-18.
Note. 28:24. The meaning is that the sacrifices prescribed above in verses 19-22 are to be offered daily throughout the feast.
