On the eighth day
The phrase "On the eighth day" signifies the conclusion of the Feast of Tabernacles, a significant festival in the Jewish calendar. The number eight in biblical numerology often symbolizes new beginnings or a new order. This day marks a transition from the festival period to a time of reflection and renewal. Historically, the eighth day was a time for the Israelites to gather and refocus on their covenant relationship with God, emphasizing the perpetual cycle of rest and renewal in their spiritual journey.

you are to hold a solemn assembly
The term "solemn assembly" comes from the Hebrew word "atzeret," which implies a sacred gathering or convocation. This assembly was not merely a social gathering but a deeply spiritual event, where the community came together in unity to worship and seek God's presence. The solemnity of the assembly underscores the importance of setting aside time for communal worship and reflection, reinforcing the idea that worship is central to the life of God's people.

you must not do any regular work
The instruction "you must not do any regular work" highlights the principle of Sabbath rest, which is a recurring theme throughout the Scriptures. This commandment serves as a reminder of God's provision and the need for His people to trust in Him rather than their own efforts. By ceasing from regular work, the Israelites were to focus on spiritual matters, acknowledging God's sovereignty and their dependence on Him. This practice of rest is a foretaste of the eternal rest promised to believers, encouraging them to find peace and restoration in God's presence.

(35) On the eighth day ye shall have a solemn assembly.--Or, closing feast day. The word azereth, which is here and in the parallel passage in Leviticus 23:36 (comp. Nehemiah 8:18; 2Chronicles 7:9) rendered "solemn assembly," is used in Deuteronomy 16:8 of the seventh or closing day of the Feast of the Passover. It is used in Jeremiah 9:2 and Amos 5:2 in a more general manner. In the former of these passages it is used of an assembly or confederacy of false dealers, and in the latter it appears to include solemn festivals generally, without limitation to the last day of their duration. The primary notion appears to be that of restraint--i.e., from the performance of servile work. The sacrifices of the eighth day were the same as those which were appointed for the first day of the seventh month, i.e., the Feast of Trumpets, and also for the tenth day, or Day of Atonement. (See Leviticus 23:36, and Note.) . . . Verse 35. - On the eighth day. On the twenty-second day of Ethanim (see on Leviticus 23:36). The offering here specified returns to the smaller number ordered for the first /rod tenth days of this month. The feast of tabernacles ended with sundown on this day.
