Numbers 28:1 Meaning and Commentary

Numbers 28:1

And the Lord spake unto Moses
The number of the children of Israel being taken, and orders given to divide the land unto them, according to their numbers; it was thought proper by the Lord to renew, or to put in mind of, the laws concerning sacrifices which had been made, and which they were to observe when they came into the land of Canaan; and the rather this was necessary, as it was now thirty eight years ago since these laws were first made, and during that time were much in disuse, at least some of them: and besides, this was a new generation of men that were sprung up, those that were at Mount Sinai at the giving of the law being all dead, except a very few; and now Moses also was about to die, and would be no more with them to remind them of these laws, and see that they were observed; and a successor of him being appointed and constituted, it may be likewise on his account, as well as the people's, that these laws were repeated:

saying;
as follows.

Numbers 28:1 In-Context

1 The Lord commanded Moses
2 to instruct the Israelites to present to God at the appointed times the required food offerings that are pleasing to him.
3 These are the food offerings that are to be presented to the Lord: for the daily burnt offering, two one-year-old male lambs without any defects.
4 Offer the first lamb in the morning, and the second in the evening,
5 each with a grain offering of 2 pounds of flour, mixed with 2 pints of the best olive oil.
