These are the feasts of the LORD, which ye shall proclaim to be holy convocations, to offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD, a burnt offering, and a meat offering, a sacrifice, and drink offerings, every thing upon his day:
These are the LORD's special festivals that you must announce as sacred gatherings, where you will present fire offerings to the LORD, burnt offerings, grain offerings, sacrifices, and drink offerings, each one on its proper day.
God is establishing specific holy festivals with particular offerings that His people must observe on their designated days.
