And when these days are expired, &c.] The seven days of consecration, and all these rites and sacrifices observed: it shall be, that upon the eighth day, and so forward; that is, on the first day of the week, or Lord’s day, the Christian sabbath, the next day after the seventh, and so upon every return of it; in which Christian ministrations are exercised, the word preached, ordinances administered, and works of righteousness and charity done; (see <432019>John 20:19,26 <442007>Acts 20:7 <461602>1 Corinthians 16:2). The priests shall make your burnt offerings upon the altar, and your peace offerings; or “thank offerings”f767; preach Christ and him crucified to the people, and offer up the sacrifices of prayer and praise unto God for them: and I will accept you, saith the Lord God; through Christ the Mediator, in whom he is well pleased; who is the altar on which such sacrifices are accepted, and become well pleasing to God, (<235607>Isaiah 56:7 <600205>1 Peter 2:5).
