Leviticus 23:36 Summary
This verse is talking about a special time of celebration and worship called the Feast of Tabernacles, which lasts for seven days and ends with a solemn assembly on the eighth day. During this time, the Israelites were to present offerings by fire to the Lord and rest from their regular work, just like God rested on the seventh day of creation (Exodus 20:8-11). This feast was a time for the Israelites to remember God's provision and protection, and to dedicate themselves to Him, and it can be a reminder for us today to trust in God's goodness and provision (Psalm 23:1-4). By following God's commands and celebrating His goodness, we can deepen our relationship with Him and find rest in His presence.

Matthew Poole's Commentary on Leviticus 23:36
Seven days ye shall offer an offering; a several offering each day, which is particularly described , &c. On the eighth day; which though it was not one of the days of this feast strictly taken, nor is it here affirmed to be so, but on the contrary is expressly said to consist of seven days, ,39, nor did they dwell longer in tabernacles; yet in a larger sense it belonged to this feast, and is called the great day of the feast, . And so indeed it was, as for other reasons, so because, by their removal from their tabernacles into more fixed and comfortable habitations, it represented that happy time wherein their forty years’ tedious march in the wilderness was ended, with their introduction into, and settlement in, the land of Canaan, which it was most fit and just they should acknowledge with such a solemn day of thanksgiving as this was. A solemn assembly, Heb. a day of conclusion, because it was the end of the feast, ; or, of restraint, because they were restrained from servile work, and obliged to attendance upon God’ s worship; or, of detention, because they were yet detained before the Lord, and kept together for his service, and not suffered to return to their tents till this was over.
Ellicott's Commentary on Leviticus 23:36
(36) Seven days ye shall offer.—The special sacrifices for this day consisted of a burnt offering of thirteen bullocks, two rams, and fourteen lambs, with an appropriate meat and drink offering, and a goat for a sin offering (Numbers 29:12-38). Whereupon were offered the peace offerings, the vows and the free-will offerings which constituted the repasts of the people. Whilst these sacrifices were being offered up the Levites chanted the festive Hallel, as on the feasts of Passover and Pentecost. This was repeated every day during the seven days of the festival, only that the number of animals offered as sacrifices diminished daily during the middle days of the festival, according to the prescription in Numbers 29:12-38. On the eve of the second day, or what is called the lesser festival, and on each of the five succeeding nights, was celebrated the “Rejoicing of the water-drawing” in the court of the Temple. Four huge golden candelabra were lighted in the centre of the court, and the light emanating from them was visible to the whole city. Around these lights pious men danced before the people with lighted flambeaux in their hands, singing hymns and songs of praise, whilst the Levites, who were stationed on the fifteen steps which led into the women’s court, and which corresponded to the fifteen psalms of degrees, i.e., steps (Psalms 120-134), accompanied the songs with instrumental music. It is supposed that on the last evening of the festival, when the splendid light of this grand illumination was to cease, Christ called attention to himself, “I am the light of the world” (John 8:12), which is to shine for ever, and illuminate not only the Temple and the holy city, but all the world. On the eighth day shall be an holy convocation.—That is, like the first day, since no servile work is to be done on it. As it is not only the finishing of the feast of Tabernacles, but the conclusion of the whole cycle of festivals, the dwelling in tabernacles is to cease on it.
Ye shall offer.—For this reason the sacrifices offered on this day are to be distinct, and unlike the sacrifices of the preceding days. The burnt sacrifice is to consist of one bullock, one ram, and seven lambs, with the appropriate meat and drink offerings, and one goat for a sin offering. (Numbers 29:36-38.) Being, however, attached to the feast of Tabernacles, the two festivals are often joined together, and spoken of as one festival of eight days.
Cambridge Bible on Leviticus 23:36
36. a solemn assembly] R.V. mg. closing festival. The Heb. word (‘ãẓ ?éreth) does not in itself involve the idea of solemnity. It is used of the closing day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread (Deuteronomy 16:8), and (as here) in Numbers 29:35 (P); Nehemiah 8:18, of the extra day following the seven days of the Feast of Booths, which became ‘the great day of the feast’ (John 7:37). According to 2 Chronicles 7:9 (though not recognised in the parallel, 1 Kings 8:66), it formed a joyful celebration in thankfulness for the completion of the dedication of Solomon’s Temple.

Whedon's Commentary on Leviticus 23:36
36. The eighth day — Since this feast was to continue seven days, and since no mention is made of an eighth day in Deuteronomy 16:13-15, we conclude that it formed no part of the festival, but was a
