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.
