Numbers 15:5 Meaning and Commentary

Numbers 15:5

And the fourth [part] of an hin of wine
The same measure with the oil, and this was wine of the grapes, as the Targum of Jonathan; other sorts of wine might not be used for the purpose mentioned:

for a drink offering shalt thou prepare;
with the meat offering, to go along with every burnt offering and peace offering; which, as they were the food of God and the provision of his house, it was proper there should be of every kind fit for an entertainment, as flesh, bread, and wine. These were to go

with the burnt offering or sacrifice, for one lamb;
if there were more than one, then a greater quantity in proportion was required.

Numbers 15:5 In-Context

3 you will make an offering by fire for Yahweh from the cattle or from the flock, a burnt offering or a sacrifice to fulfill a vow, or as a freewill offering or at your feasts, to make a fragrance of appeasement for Yahweh.
4 And the one who presents an offering for Yahweh, he will present a grain offering [of] finely milled flour; a tenth will be mixed with a fourth of the liquid measure [of] oil;
5 and you will add a fourth of wine for the libation upon the burnt offering, or to the sacrifice for each ram-lamb.
6 Or for the ram you will make a grain offering [of] two-tenths of finely milled flour mixed into a third of a liquid measure of oil.
7 You will present a third of the liquid measure of wine for the libation, a fragrance of appeasement for Yahweh.
