Seven days ye shall offer— See Numbers 29:13; Numbers 29:40 for an account of the sacrifices offered upon this festival. The word rendered solemn assembly, at the close of this verse, signifies properly, as in the margin of our English Bibles, a day of restraint, or detention; i.e. from labour; and thence, a solemn feast-day. It is used here, as in Numbers 29:35 and Nehemiah 8:18 to denote the peculiar solemnity with which the last day of this feast was celebrated: and accordingly St. John thus speaks of it, In the last day, that great day of the feast, John 7:37.
