Gill's Notes on the Bible

But ye shall offer a burnt offering unto the Lord,.... Which is the same as ordered to be offered on the first day, Numbers 29:2. Aben Ezra is of opinion that the ram here is different from those in

Leviticus 16:3.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

The offering on the great Day of Atonement was the same with that just specified. The great ceremonies of the day are described in Leviticus 16:0.
