Quick answer
Throughout the seven days of Passover, daily burnt offerings of bulls, rams, and a goat are presented.
Overview
The feast is marked by abundant daily sacrifices expressing worship and continual atonement. The repeated offerings underscore the seriousness of sin and the costliness of fellowship with God. Their daily repetition magnifies, by contrast, the once-for-all and fully sufficient sacrifice of Christ on the cross.
