Numbers 15:2 Meaning and Commentary

Numbers 15:2

Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them
The younger sort of them, such as were under twenty years of age; for those of that age and upwards, who had murmured against the Lord, had been assured by him with an oath that they should die in the wilderness, and not see the land of Canaan, ( Numbers 14:29 ) ; whereas those Moses is here bid to speak to were such that should possess it:

when ye come into the land of your habitations, which I give unto,
you;
the land of Canaan, the grant of which is here renewed to them, and an assurance given of their coming into it and settlement in it; and that they should have dwelling places there for their several tribes and families.

Numbers 15:2 In-Context

1 ADONAI said to Moshe,
2 "Tell the people of Isra'el, 'When you have come into the land where you are going to live, which I am giving to you,
3 and want to make an offering by fire to ADONAI - a burnt offering or sacrifice to fulfill a special vow, or to be a voluntary offering, or at your designated times, to make a fragrant aroma for ADONAI - then, whether it is comes from the herd or from the flock,
4 the person bringing the offering is to present ADONAI with a grain offering consisting of two quarts of fine flour mixed with one quart of olive oil,
5 and one quart of wine for the drink offering. This is what you are to prepare with the burnt offering or for each lamb sacrificed.
