Numbers, 28

Commentary

In Numbers 28, the Lord instructs Moses to give instructions to the Israelites regarding the daily, weekly, monthly, and annual offerings that were to be made to the Lord. The daily offering was to be two lambs, one in the morning and one in the evening, with a grain offering and a drink offering. The weekly offering was to be two lambs, one on the Sabbath day and one on the day after the Sabbath, with a grain offering and a drink offering. The monthly offering was to be two bulls, one ram, and seven lambs, with a grain offering and a drink offering. The annual offering was to be two male goats, one ram, and seven lambs, with a grain offering and a drink offering. The purpose of these offerings was to show the Israelites’ devotion to the Lord and to thank Him for His blessings. The offerings were to be made with the best of the Israelites’ possessions, and they were to be made with a willing heart. The Lord also instructed the Israelites to make a special offering on the day of the firstfruits, which was to be a wave offering of two loaves of bread. This chapter of Numbers is a reminder of the importance of offering our best to the Lord. It is a reminder that we should be willing to give of our time, our resources, and our hearts to the Lord in order to show our devotion and thankfulness.
