Numbers 15:4 Meaning and Commentary

Numbers 15:4

Then shall he that offereth his offering unto the Lord
Be it of either kind before mentioned:

bring a meat offering of a tenth deal of flour, mingled with the
fourth [part] of an hin of oil;
this was made of the tenth part of an ephah, or of an omer of fine wheaten flour, which was the quantity of about three quarts; and which was mixed and macerated with the fourth part of an hin, or with a quart and more than half a pint of oil: see ( Exodus 29:40 ) ; rather this should be called a bread offering.
