The Sabbath, a day of rest and worship, was instituted in <a href="/genesis/2-2.htm">Genesis 2:2-3</a> and further emphasized in the Ten Commandments (<a href="/exodus/20-8.htm">Exodus 20:8-11</a>). The Sabbath offerings, as described in <a href="/numbers/28-9.htm">Numbers 28:9-10</a>, were a regular part of Israel's worship, symbolizing rest and holiness. The additional offerings during the feasts underscore the importance of these sacred times, pointing to a deeper spiritual rest and fulfillment found in Christ, who is described as the Lord of the Sabbath (<a href="/matthew/12-8.htm">Matthew 12:8</a>).<p><b>and in addition to your gifts</b><br>Gifts in this context refer to voluntary offerings given out of gratitude and devotion. These were separate from obligatory sacrifices and reflected the worshiper's personal relationship with God. The concept of giving gifts to God is seen throughout Scripture, such as in the freewill offerings for the construction of the Tabernacle (<a href="/exodus/35-29.htm">Exodus 35:29</a>). This practice foreshadows the New Testament teaching of giving cheerfully and willingly (<a href="/2_corinthians/9-7.htm">2 Corinthians 9:7</a>), emphasizing the heart's posture in worship.<p><b>to all your vow offerings</b><br>Vow offerings were made in fulfillment of a promise or vow to God. These were personal commitments, often made in times of distress or thanksgiving, and were to be fulfilled as a demonstration of faithfulness (<a href="/numbers/30-2.htm">Numbers 30:2</a>). The seriousness of vows is echoed in <a href="/ecclesiastes/5-4.htm">Ecclesiastes 5:4-5</a>, which warns against making rash promises to God. Vow offerings illustrate the believer's dedication and the importance of integrity in one's relationship with God.<p><b>and to all the freewill offerings</b><br>Freewill offerings were spontaneous acts of worship, given without compulsion. They are first mentioned in <a href="/leviticus/22-18.htm">Leviticus 22:18-23</a> and were expressions of love and gratitude towards God. These offerings highlight the principle of voluntary worship, which is a recurring theme in both the Old and New Testaments. In the New Covenant, believers are encouraged to offer themselves as living sacrifices (<a href="/romans/12.htm">Romans 12:1</a>), reflecting the spirit of freewill offerings.<p><b>you give to the LORD</b><br>The act of giving to the LORD signifies acknowledgment of His sovereignty and provision. Throughout the Bible, offerings and sacrifices are central to worship, symbolizing the giver's devotion and dependence on God. This principle is fulfilled in the ultimate sacrifice of Jesus Christ, who gave Himself for humanity (<a href="/ephesians/5-2.htm">Ephesians 5:2</a>). The offerings in Leviticus point to the greater offering of Christ, who provides the means for reconciliation and fellowship with God.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/m/moses.htm">Moses</a></b><br>The prophet and leader of the Israelites who received the laws from God, including the instructions in Leviticus.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/i/israelites.htm">Israelites</a></b><br>The chosen people of God to whom the laws and festivals were given.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/f/feasts_of_the_lord.htm">Feasts of the LORD</a></b><br>Sacred assemblies and appointed times for worship and offerings, as outlined in <a href="/bsb/leviticus/23.htm">Leviticus 23</a>.<br><br>4. <b><a href="/topical/o/offerings.htm">Offerings</a></b><br>Various sacrifices and offerings prescribed by God, including burnt offerings, grain offerings, and peace offerings.<br><br>5. <b><a href="/topical/s/sabbath.htm">Sabbath</a></b><br>A day of rest and worship, distinct from the other feasts and offerings.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/u/understanding_distinctiveness.htm">Understanding Distinctiveness</a></b><br><a href="/leviticus/23-38.htm">Leviticus 23:38</a> emphasizes that the offerings and feasts are in addition to the regular Sabbath offerings.

The meaning, therefore, of the passage before us is that the sacrifices ordered for each of these festivals are to be in addition to the sacrifices appointed to each weekly sabbath in the year; so that when one of these festivals falls on a sabbath, the sacrifices due to the latter are not set aside by the former.
