Numbers 29:3

3 and in the sacrifice of those ye shall offer three tenth parts of tried flour sprinkled (al)together with oil, by each calf, two tenth parts by a ram, (and with each offering ye shall offer its grain offering of fine flour sprinkled with oil, that is, three tenths of an ephah with each calf, two tenths of an ephah with the ram,)

Numbers 29:3 Meaning and Commentary

Ver. 3-5. And their meat offering
Which went along with the creatures offered for a burnt offering; the quantity of flour and oil used in it was the same, for a bullock, a ram, and each lamb, as in the offerings at the new moons, feast of unleavened bread and the day of firstfruits, ( Numbers 28:10 Numbers 28:13 Numbers 28:20 Numbers 28:21 Numbers 28:28 Numbers 28:29 ) and a kid of the goats was also offered for a sin offering at this time, as in those seasons, and for the same purpose, to make atonement for the sins of their holy things.
