 * the fifteenth day.
   This was the feast of Tabernacles, kept in commemoration of
   their dwelling in tents in the wilderness for forty years.
   The first and last days were to be kept as sabbaths, on which
   there were solemn assemblies; and for seven days sacrifices
   were offered.  On the other festivals, two bullocks sufficed,
   (ch. 28:11, 19, 27), and on the festival at the beginning of
   this month, only one was appointed; but, on the first day of
   this festival, thirteen young bullocks were appointed; and so
   on each successive day, with the decrease of only one bullock,
   till on the seventh day, there were only seven, making in all
   seventy bullocks.  The lambs, and the rams also, were in a
   double proportion to the number sacrificed at any other
   festival.  This was an expensive service; but more easy at
   this time of the year than any other, as Bishop Patrick
   observes, because now their barns were full, and their
   wine-presses overflowed; and their hearts might well be
   supposed to be more enlarged than at other times, in
   thankfulness to God for the multitude of his mercies.  The
   Jewish doctors give this reason for the daily diminution of
   the number of the bullocks:  the whole number, say they, was
   according to the languages of the seventy nations of the
   world; and the diminution of one every day signified, that
   there should be a gradual diminution of those nations till all
   things were brought under the government of the Messiah; in
   whose days "no sacrifices shall remain, but those of
   thanksgiving, prayer, and praise."
