“But ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto the Lord seven days: in the seventh day is an holy convocation: ye shall do no servile work therein.”
For seven days present a food offering to the Lord. And on the seventh day hold a sacred assembly and do no regular work. The seven-day food offering and the sacred assemblies on the first and seventh days create the complete structure of the Festival of Unleavened Bread: food offering every day, sacred assembly and work-cessation on days one and seven. Numbers 28:17–25 specifies the daily food offerings for the Festival of Unleavened Bread. The structure communicates the festival's balanced character: bounded by sacred rest, sustained by daily offering.
