John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Numbers 28:6

It is a continual burnt offering ,.... For the meat offering was burnt as well as the lambs, at least part of it: which was ordained in Mount Sinai for a sweet savour, a sacrifice made by fire unto the Lord ; that is, this law concerning the daily burnt offering was made on Mount Sinai, so long ago as the children of Israel were there; and it was then ordered that they should continually offer such a sacrifice by fire, which would be grateful and acceptable unto God, especially when done... read more

And the other lamb shalt thou offer at even ,.... As before directed, Numbers 28:4 , as the meat offering of the morning, and as the drink offering thereof, shalt thou offer it ; some think that "caph", "as", is put for "beth", "with", the letters being similar, and so render the words, "with the meat offering of the morning, and with the drink offering thereof"; but there is no need of such a version, nor is it with propriety; and the meaning is, that a meat offering and a drink... read more

This is the burnt offering of every sabbath ,.... Or, "of the sabbath in its sabbath" F6 שבת בשבתו "sabbathi in sabbatho ejus", Pagninus, Montanus, Fagius, Junius & Tremellius, Piscator. , that is, as Jarchi observes, the burnt offering of one sabbath was not to be offered on another, but only on its own; so that if the sabbath was past, and the offering not offered, it ceased; it was not to be renewed the following sabbath; every sacrifice was to be offered in its own season, ... read more

And in the beginnings of your months ye shall offer a burnt offering unto the Lord ,.... On the first day of every month, when the new moon appeared; that this was religiously observed appears from the blowing of the trumpets over the sacrifices on this day, from attendance on the word of the Lord, by his prophets, on this day, and from abstinence from worldly business on it, Numbers 10:10 . two young bullocks, and one ram, seven rams of the first year without spot ; this was the burnt... read more

And one kid of the goats, for a sin offering unto the Lord, shall be offered ,.... This was an offering of a different sort, not a burnt offering, but a sin offering, typical of Christ, who was made an offering for sin; and it was of that sort of sin offerings which were to be eaten, as the Jews say F8 Maimon.
