Numbers 28:15

_AND THREE TENTH DEALS OF FLOUR FOR A MEAT OFFERING, MINGLED WITH OIL, FOR ONE BULLOCK; AND TWO TENTH DEALS OF FLOUR FOR A MEAT OFFERING, MINGLED WITH OIL, FOR ONE RAM;_ No JFB commentary on these verses....

9-15 Every sabbath day, beside the two lambs offered for the daily burnt-offering, there must be two more offered. This teaches us to double our devotions on sabbath days, for so the duty of the day requires. The sabbath rest is to be observed, in order more closely to apply ourselves to the sabbath work, which ought to fill up the sabbath time. The offerings in the new moons showed thankfulness for the renewing of earthly blessings: when we rejoice in the gifts of providence, we must make the sacrifice of Christ, that great gift of special grace, the fountain and spring-head of our joy. And the worship performed in the new moons is made typical of gospel solemnities, Isaiah 66:23. As the moon borrows light from the sun, and is renewed by its influences; so the church borrows her light from Jesus Christ, who is the Sun of righteousness, renewing the state of the church, especially under...

The New-moon offering is here also commanded for the first time. The goat as a sin-offering, though mentioned last, would seem in fact to have been offered first (compare the precedents in Exodus 29; Leviticus 5; Leviticus 8; Leviticus 9; Leviticus 14; Leviticus 16). The sin-offering, which Numbers 15:22 had been contemplated in cases where a sin had been committed ignorantly without the knowledge

EXPOSITION THE ROUTINE OF SACRIFICIAL OFFERINGS (Numbers 28:1, Numbers 29:1). NUMBERS 28:1 THE LORD SPAKE UNTO MOSES. It is impossible to say with any assurance whether the law of offerings contained in these two chapters was really given to Moses shortly before his death, or whether it was ever given in this connected and completed form. It is obvious that the formula with which the section opens might be used with equal propriety to introduce a digest of the law on this subject compiled by Moses himself, or by some subsequent editor of his writings from a number of scattered reg

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 h; for there were some that were not, even such whose blood was brought into the sanctuary, Leviticus 6:30. Maimonides i observes, that this phrase, "unto the Lord", is very particular and expressive, and that the design of it is, to observe that it was offered to the Lord, and not to the moon, as the Egyptians did: BESIDES THE CONTINUAL BURNT OFFERING, AND HIS DRINK OFFERING; though the burnt offering of this day was so very large, consisting of so many creatures; and besides that a goat for a sin offering; yet the daily sacrifice was not to be omitted, and what belonged to

NUMBERS 28-29. THE NATURE AND AMOUNT OF THE OFFERINGS REQUIRED ON VARIOUS HOLY DAYS. The quantities prescribed for special festivals did not exhaust all the sacrifices offered upon them: on every festival the special sacrifices were supplemented by the daily offerings; on the first of the seventh month the distinctive offerings were supplemented by the offerings required for the first of each ordinary month; whilst on the tenth of the seventh month the sin offering of atonement (Leviticus 16) was supplementary to the other sacrifices here enjoined.

P _The amounts of public offerings at the sacred seasons_ The following are the seasons for which offerings are enjoined: (1) every morning and evening (Numbers 28:3-8), (2) the Sabbath (Numbers 28:9 f.), (3) the first day of each month (Numbers 28:11) [the Passover is mentioned Numbers 28:16), but no offering is commanded], (4) the seven days of Unleavened Cakes (Numbers 28:17), (5) the Feast of Weeks (Numbers 28:26), (6) the first day of the sacred s

ONE KID—UNTO THE LORD— Grotius judiciously observes, that the words _to the Lord_ are here added to make the Hebrews more sensible that it was to the true God they were now to offer, and not to the moon; of which planet, the _kid,_ with his two horns, being an emblem, was therefore chosen for a sacrifice: God thus reclaiming to himself what idolatry had superstitiously sanctified. REFLECTIONS.—1. On the sabbath, the daily sacrifice, with its oblations, was doubled; intimating to us the necessity of improving these holy days, by repeated attendance at God's house, and double diligence in the exercises of religious conversation, meditation, prayer, and praise. On the new moons, besides the daily sacrifice, two bullocks, a ram, and seven lambs were offered, with their several meat and drink-offerings, and a kid of the goats for a sin-offering. Even when we are offering sacrifices of praise...
