Commentary

Matthew Henry on Numbers 28:16–end

Here is, I. The appointment of the pass-over sacrifices; not that which was the chief, the paschal lamb (sufficient instructions had formerly been given concerning that), but those which were to be offered upon the seven days of unleavened bread, which followed it, Num 28:17-25. The first and last of those seven days were to be sanctified as sabbaths, by a holy rest and a holy convocation, and on each of the seven days they were to be liberal in their sacrifices, in token of their great and constant thankfulness for their deliverance out of Egypt: Two bullocks, a ram, and seven lambs. A gospel conversation, in gratitude for Christ our passover who was sacrificed, is called the keeping of thi…

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Numbers 28:16

in the fourteenth day of the first month is the passover--The law for that great annual festival is given (Lev 23:5), but some details are here introduced, as certain specified offerings are prescribed to be made on each of the seven days of unleavened bread [Num 28:18-25].

John Gill on Numbers 28:16

And in the fourteenth day of the first month,.... The month Nisan, as the Targum of Jonathan or Abib, which, upon the Israelites coming out of Egypt, and on that account, was made the first month; otherwise Tisri or September was the first month, see Exodus 12:2, is the passover of the Lord; a feast in which a lamb was killed and eaten, in memory of the Lord's passing over the houses of the Israelites, when he slew the firstborn in Egypt; see Exodus 12:6.

John Calvin on Numbers 28:16–end

And in the fifteenth day of this month is the feast: seven days shall unleavened bread be eaten. 17. Et in decimo quinto die mensis hujus solennitas: septem diebus panis infermentatorum comedetur. 18. In the first day shall be an holy convocation; ye shall do no manner of servile work therein: 18. Die primo convocatio sancta erit: omne servile non facietis. 19. But ye shall offer a sacrifice made by fire for a burnt offering unto the LORD; two young bullocks, and one ram, and seven lambs of the first year: they shall be…

The Church Fathers

In the fourth place among the festivals of God is set the solemnity of the Passover, in which festival the lamb is slain. But do you look to the true lamb, the Lamb of God, the Lamb who takes away the sin of the world, and say: "Our pasch, Christ, is sacrificed." Let the Jews in a carnal sense eat the flesh of the lamb, but let us eat the flesh of the Word of God; for He Himself said: "Unless you eat my flesh, you will not have life in yourselves." This which we are now speaking is the flesh of the Word of God, provided at least that we do not offer, as to the weak, herbs, or, as to children, the nourishment of milk. If we speak perfect things, if strong, if mighty, we set before you the flesh of the Word of God to eat. For where mystical discourse, where doctrinal discourse, filled with the faith of the Trinity, is brought forth solid, where, the veil being removed, the spiritual mysteries of the letter of the law of the age to come are laid open, where the hope of the soul, torn away from the earth, is cast into the heavens and set among those things which eye has not seen nor ear heard nor have they ascended into the heart of man — all these are the flesh of the Word of God; and he who can feed on them with perfect understanding and a purified heart truly immolates the sacrifice of the festival of the Passover and keeps a feast day with God and His angels.
— Origen of Alexandria, HOMILIES ON NUMBERS 23.6
