Numbers 15:8 Meaning and Commentary

Numbers 15:8

And when thou preparest a bullock [for] a burnt offering
Which was a larger offering, and required a larger meat offering and drink offering, as ( Numbers 15:9 Numbers 15:10 ) show:

or [for] a sacrifice in performing a vow or peace offerings unto the
Lord;
by which latter are meant freewill offerings; for though both sorts here mentioned were peace offerings, yet these were more particularly called so.

Numbers 15:8 In-Context

6 'Or for a ram you shall prepare as a grain offering two-tenths of an ephah of fine flour mixed with one-third of a hin of oil;
7 and for the drink offering you shall offer one-third of a hin of wine as a soothing aroma to the LORD .
8 'When you prepare a bull as a burnt offering or a sacrifice, to fulfill a special vow, or for peace offerings to the LORD ,
9 then you shall offer with the bull a grain offering of three-tenths of an ephah of fine flour mixed with one-half a hin of oil;
10 and you shall offer as the drink offering one-half a hin of wine as an offering by fire, as a soothing aroma to the LORD .
