‏ Numbers 29:39

Ratification of the Foregoing

God gives here the ratification of the foregoing. He also mentions that the regulations given do not affect the voluntariness of other offerings. He is entitled to our worship. That is justified. He also seeks hearts that approach Him in voluntary worship, as the Lord Jesus says: “For such people the Father seeks to be His worshipers” (Jn 4:23).

We see such a mind among the people of Israel in the days of King Josiah: “Then the whole assembly decided to celebrate [the feast] another seven days, so they celebrated the seven days with joy” (2Chr 30:23). After the obligatory celebration of the Feast of Booths, another seven days of celebration is added with a voluntary heart.
