16 And in the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month, is the passover to Jehovah. 17 And on the fifteenth day of this month is the feast; seven days shall unleavened bread be eaten. 18 On the first day shall be a holy convocation: no manner of servile work shall ye do; 19 and ye shall present an offering by fire, a burnt-offering to Jehovah: two young bullocks, and one ram, and seven yearling lambs; they shall be unto you without blemish; 20 and their oblation shall be of fine flour mingled with oil: three tenth parts shall ye offer for a bullock, and two tenth parts for the ram; 21 one tenth part shalt thou offer for each lamb, of the seven lambs; 22 and a he-goat as a sin-offering, to make atonement for you. 23 Besides the burnt-offering of the morning, which is for a continual burnt-offering, shall ye offer this. 24 After this manner ye shall offer daily, seven days, the bread of the offering by fire of a sweet odour to Jehovah; it shall be offered besides the continual burnt-offering, and its drink-offering. 25 And on the seventh day ye shall have a holy convocation; no manner of servile work shall ye do. 26 And on the day of the first-fruits, when ye present a new oblation to Jehovah, after your weeks, ye shall have a holy convocation: no manner of servile work shall ye do. 27 And ye shall present a burnt-offering for a sweet odour to Jehovah: two young bullocks, one ram, seven yearling lambs; 28 and their oblation of fine flour mingled with oil, three tenth parts for one bullock, two tenth parts for the ram, 29 one tenth part for each lamb of the seven lambs; 30 [and] one buck of the goats, to make atonement for you. 31 Ye shall offer them besides the continual burnt-offering, and its oblation (without blemish shall they be unto you), and their drink-offerings.

Commentary on Numbers 28:16-31
(Read Numbers 28:16-31)
By the sacrifices enjoined in this chapter, we are reminded of the continued power of the sacrifice of Christ, and of our continual need to depend thereon. No hurrying employments, or perilous situations, or prosperous circumstances, should cause slackness in our religious exercises; but should rather stir us up to greater diligence in seeking help from, or giving thanks to the Lord. And all is to be accompanied with repentance, faith is the Lord Jesus, and love to him, and to produce true holiness in our conduct towards all men; otherwise God will abhor our most solemn services and abundant devotions. And Christ is able to supply the wants of every day, every week, every month, every year, every ordinance, every case.
