Numbers 28:3-10 NASB

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Numbers 28:1-8

Here is, I. A general order given concerning the offerings of the Lord, which were to be brought in their season, Num. 28:2. These laws are here given afresh, not because the observance of them was wholly disused during their thirty-eight years? wandering in the wilderness (we cannot think that they were so long without any public worship, but that at least the daily lamb was offered morning and evening, and doubled on the sabbath day; so bishop Patrick conjectures); but that many of the... read more

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Numbers 28:9-15

The new moons and the sabbaths are often spoken of together, as great solemnities in the Jewish church, very comfortable to the saints then, and typical of gospel grace. Now we have here the sacrifices appointed, 1. For the sabbaths. Every sabbath day the offering must be doubled; besides the two lambs offered for the daily burnt-offering, there must be two more offered, one (it is probable) added to the morning sacrifice, and the other to the evening, Num. 28:9; 10. This teaches us to double... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Numbers 28:3

And thou shalt say unto them ,.... Having directed Moses to command the people of Israel to observe to offer all the sacrifices of God in general, the Lord proceeds to order him to speak of them to them particularly and distinctly; this, according to Jarchi, is an admonition to the sanhedrim: this is the offering made by fire, which ye shall offer unto the Lord; the daily burnt offering, which was wholly consumed by fire: two lambs of the first year without spot, day by day for a... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Numbers 28:4

The one lamb shalt thou offer in the morning ,.... Every morning, to make atonement for the sins of the night, as the Targum of Jonathan: and the other lamb shall thou offer at even ; or "between the two evenings", to make atonement for the sins of the day, as the same Targum; in which they prefigured Christ, the Lamb of God, who continually, every day, morning and night, and every moment, takes away the sins of his people, through the virtue and efficacy of his sacrifice, John 1:29 ;... read more

And the tenth part of an ephah of flour for a meat offering ,.... Which always went along with the burnt offering: mingled with the fourth part of an hin of beaten oil : which in those times and countries was used instead of butter; and fine flour and this mingled together made a "minchah", or bread offering, as it should rather be called; of the measures used; see Gill on Exodus 29:40 . read more

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

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Numbers 28:7

And the drink offering thereof shall be the fourth part of an hin for the one lamb ,.... For the lamb offered in the morning, along with the meat offering of which went a drink offering, which was of wine, and strong wine too, as the next clause expresses it; the quantity of which was the fourth part of an hin, which was about a quart and half a pint of our measure: in the holy place shalt thou cause the strong wine to be poured unto the Lord for a drink offering ; that is, in... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Numbers 28:8

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

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Numbers 28:9

And on the sabbath day two lambs of the first year without spot ,.... Just such as were appointed for the daily sacrifice: and two tenth deals of flour for a meat offering, mingled with oil ; that is, two tenth parts of an ephah of flour mixed with two fourth parts of an hin of oil; of oil olive, as the Targum of Jonathan expresses it, which is always meant, wherever oil is mentioned; which made one meat offering to them doubled for both lambs, or two meat offerings of the same quantity... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Numbers 28:10

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
