John Gill Bible Commentary

And thou shalt bring for a drink offering half an hin of wine,.... The same quantity as of oil, and a little more: for an offering made by fire of a sweet savour unto the Lord: this, according to Jarchi, refers only to the meat offering and the oil: for the wine was not a fire offering, not being put upon the fire.
