Numbers 28:5 Meaning and Commentary

Numbers 28:5

And the tenth part of an ephah of flour for a meat offering,
&c.] Which always went along with the burnt offering:

mingled with the fourth part of an hin of beaten oil:
which in those times and countries was used instead of butter; and fine flour and this mingled together made a "minchah", or bread offering, as it should rather be called; of the measures used, (See Gill on Exodus 29:40).
