(Numb. 29:35:) ON THE EIGHTH DAY: What was the reason for the number of sacrificial animals being reduced on each day?⁵⁰., Numb. 8:17; Numb. R. 21:25. The Torah is simply teaching you ettiquette from the sacrifices. Thus if someone goes for lodging,⁵¹. where his friend receives him, on the first day that he receives him, he feeds him fowl. Then on the second he feeds him fish; [on the third he feeds him meat;] on the fourth he feeds him greens. So does he continue to reduce, until he is feeding him pulse.
