Sifrei on Deuteronomy

Sifrei Devarim 142

English · Shraga Silverstein

(Devarim 16:15) "Seven days shall you celebrate before the L-rd your G-d": I might think that he sacrifices the festive offering (chagigah) all seven days; it is, therefore, written (Vayikra 43:41) "And you shall celebrate it" (the first day), and not all seven days.

English · Shraga Silverstein

If so, how is "seven days" to be understood? As referring to compensation (i.e., if he did not offer the chagigah on the first day, he can do so all seven days.

English · Shraga Silverstein

"For the L-rd your G-d will bless you": I might think, only in that species (which he sacrifices); it is, therefore, written "in all of your produce and in all to which you put your hand."

English · Shraga Silverstein

"and you shall be only happy": to include the night of the last day of the festival for rejoicing.

English · Shraga Silverstein

I might think also to include the night of the first day of the festival; it is, therefore, written "only" (to exclude this).
