Numbers 15:13 Meaning and Commentary

Numbers 15:13

All that are born of the country shall do these things after
this manner
Meaning that all Israelites should with their sacrifices bring their meat and drink offerings of the quantity directed to as above:

in offering an offering made by fire of a sweet savour unto the Lord;
when they offered any burnt offerings or peace offerings: the Jews say, that all sacrifices, whether of the congregation or of a private person, require drink offerings, excepting the firstborn, the tithes, the passover, the sin offering, and the trespass offering; but the sin offering of the leper, and his trespass offering, require them F8: the Targum of Jonathan is,

``all that are born in Israel, and not among the people, shall make these drink offerings thus;''

for though an uncircumcised Gentile might bring burnt offerings and peace offerings, yet not meat offerings and drink offerings with them; (See Gill on Leviticus 22:18); only such as were proselytes of righteousness, as in ( Numbers 15:14 ) .

Numbers 15:13 In-Context

11 So will it be done with each ox, each ram, or for any sheep or goat.
12 However many you offer, you will do the same for each one.
13 Every citizen will perform these rituals in bringing a food gift that is a soothing smell to the LORD.
14 If an immigrant lives with you or has settled among you for many years and would also like to offer a food gift that is a soothing smell to the LORD, that person must do just as you do.
15 The assembly will have the same regulation for you and for the immigrant. The regulation will be permanent for all time. You and the immigrant will be the same in the LORD's presence.
