Haydock's commentary
Six days after the solemn day is ended, or in all seven (Exodus xiii. 7.; Calmet); or the seventh day is here remarkable, for some particular distinction. (Menochius)
Assembly. Hebrew, " the feast of prohibition, or of withholding," or rather the festival day, in which all must make their appearance, to do homage to their Lord, Leviticus xxiii. 36. (Calmet)
Septuagint, "on the 7th is the dismission, (or termination) a feast to the Lord." (Haydock)
