Numbers 28:8 Meaning and 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 offering were to go with the lamb offered at evening, of the same sort, and in like manner, as were offered with the lamb of the morning:

a sacrifice made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the Lord;
this is repeated, to encourage the people to offer it, and to show how very acceptable it was to the Lord, especially the antitype of it.

7 The libation with it [will be] a fourth of a liquid measure for each male lamb; in the sanctuary you will pour out the libation of fermented drink for Yahweh.

8 And the second male lamb you will offer {at twilight}; as the grain offering of the morning and as its libation you will offer it, an offering made by fire, a fragrance of appeasement for Yahweh.

9 " 'On the day of the Sabbath, two male lambs without defect {in their first year}, and two-tenths of finely milled flour mixed with oil [for] a grain offering and its libation.
