parshanut torah comment - Why are the commandments for the holiday of Succot interrupted by commandments regarding sacrifices in general?


Vayikra 23:33-36 discuss the celebration of Succot. Then, verses 37-38 interrupt the discussion by saying a general statement that these are the holidays when you should offer sacrifices. Then, verses 39-43 return to discussing laws related to Succot, again.


Why is there an interruption in the discussion of Succot? Why not move verses 37-38 after the whole discussion of Succot has been completed, as it seems to summarize everything?
