Numbers 28:12

12 with six quarts^[a] of fine flour mixed with oil as a grain offering for each bull, four quarts^[b] of fine flour mixed with oil as a grain offering for the ram,

Numbers 28:12 Meaning and Commentary

Ver. 12-14. And three tenth deals of fine flour for a meat offering,
mingled with oil, for one bullock
The quantities of flour in the meat offering, for each bullock, and for the ram, and for each lamb, are the same as in ( Numbers 15:4-10 ) only the quantity of oil for each is not here expressed, which for a bullock was half an hin of oil, for a ram the third part of an hin, and for a lamb the fourth part; and likewise the quantity of wine in the drink offerings for each of them is the same here as there; which, according to the Targum of Jonathan, was to be wine of grapes, and not any other:

this is the burnt offering of every month throughout the year;
or, "of the month in its month" ^F7; it was to be offered at its appointed time every month, and not to be deferred to another: Jarchi has the same remark here as on verse ten. (See Gill on Numbers 28:10).
