Numbers 28:5 Meaning and Commentary

Numbers 28:5

And the tenth part of an ephah of flour for a meat offering,
&c.] Which always went along with the burnt offering:

mingled with the fourth part of an hin of beaten oil:
which in those times and countries was used instead of butter; and fine flour and this mingled together made a "minchah", or bread offering, as it should rather be called; of the measures used, (See Gill on Exodus 29:40).

Numbers 28:5 In-Context

3 And you shall say to them, This is the food offering that you shall offer to the Lord: two male lambs a year old without blemish, day by day, as a regular offering.

4 The one lamb you shall offer in the morning, and the other lamb you shall offer at twilight;

5 also a tenth of an ephah of fine flour for a grain offering, mixed with a quarter of a hin of beaten oil.

6 It is a regular burnt offering, which was ordained at Mount Sinai for a pleasing aroma, a food offering to the Lord.

7 Its drink offering shall be a quarter of a hin for each lamb. In the Holy Place you shall pour out a drink offering of strong drink to the Lord.
