Numbers 15:4 Meaning and Commentary

Numbers 15:4

Then shall he that offereth his offering unto the Lord
Be it of either kind before mentioned:

bring a meat offering of a tenth deal of flour, mingled with the
fourth [part] of an hin of oil;
this was made of the tenth part of an ephah, or of an omer of fine wheaten flour, which was the quantity of about three quarts; and which was mixed and macerated with the fourth part of an hin, or with a quart and more than half a pint of oil: see ( Exodus 29:40 ) ; rather this should be called a bread offering.

3 you will make an offering by fire for Yahweh from the cattle or from the flock, a burnt offering or a sacrifice to fulfill a vow, or as a freewill offering or at your feasts, to make a fragrance of appeasement for Yahweh.

4 And the one who presents an offering for Yahweh, he will present a grain offering [of] finely milled flour; a tenth will be mixed with a fourth of the liquid measure [of] oil;

5 and you will add a fourth of wine for the libation upon the burnt offering, or to the sacrifice for each ram-lamb.

6 Or for the ram you will make a grain offering [of] two-tenths of finely milled flour mixed into a third of a liquid measure of oil.
