Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Exodus 29:38-46

In this paragraph we have, I. The daily service appointed. A lamb was to be offered upon the altar every morning, and a lamb every evening, each with a meat-offering, both made by fire, as a continual burnt-offering throughout their generations, Exod. 29:38-41. Whether there were any other sacrifices to be offered or not, these were sure to be offered, at the public charge, for the benefit and comfort of all Israel, to make atonement for their daily sins, and to be an acknowledgement to God of... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Exodus 29:40

And with the one lamb a tenth deal ,.... That is, the tenth part of an "ephah", as Jarchi and Aben Ezra, which is an "omer", and held as much as a man could eat in one day, or more, see Exodus 16:18 , of flour mingled with the fourth part of an hin of beaten oil ; this was a meat, or, rather bread offering, which went along with the daily sacrifice, and typified Christ the food of his people, who is compared to a corn of wheat; is the finest of the wheat, and the bread of God, which... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Exodus 29:40

A tenth deal of flour - Deal signifies a part, from the Anglo-Saxon word, to divide; hence, a part, a portion taken from the whole. From Numbers 28:5 ; we learn that this tenth deal was the tenth part of an ephah, which constituted what is called an omer. See Exodus 16:36 ; and see Clarke's note on Exodus 16:16 ; of the same chapter, where an account is given of different measures of capacity among the Hebrews. The omer contained about three quarts English. The fourth part of a hin... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Exodus 29:40

A tenth deal — i.e; a "tenth part." The tenth part of an ephah is no doubt meant. This was sometimes called "an omen" ( Exodus 16:36 ), and would be about three pounds weight of flour, or a little more . One fourth part of an hin of beaten oil . The word hin is said to be Egyptian. It occurs here for the first time. The bin was the sixth part of a bath, and probably contained about one pint and a half English. The fourth part of an hin of wine for a drink-offering . The application... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Exodus 29:38-46

The daily offerings (29:38-46)As an expression of Israel’s constant devotion to God, an offering of consecration was kept burning on the altar continually. The priests renewed the offering morning and evening, arranging the parts of the sacrificial animal on the altar in such a way as to ensure that the fire never went out (38-42; see Leviticus 6:8-13). God reminded Moses that his purpose in giving Israel the tabernacle and the priesthood was that he might dwell among his people and that they... read more
