SCRIPTURE

"These ye shall offer unto Jehovah in your set feasts, besides your vows, and your freewill-offerings, for your burnt-offerings, and for your meal-offerings, and for your drink-offerings, and for your peace-offerings." — Numbers 29:39 (ASV)

These things you shall do to the Lord, in your set feasts
Or rather in the times set and appointed to you, as the Jewish writers


besides your vows, and your freewill offerings :
which might be offered up at any time, notwithstanding the above sacrifices, which were necessary and obligatory; but these were at their own option:

for your burnt offerings, and for your meat offerings, and your
drink offerings, and for your peace offerings ;
of which see (Leviticus 7:11–16) .
