Context — The Monthly Offerings
12along with three-tenths of an ephah of fine flour mixed with oil as a grain offering with each bull, two-tenths of an ephah of fine flour mixed with oil as a grain offering with the ram,
13and a tenth of an ephah of fine flour mixed with oil as a grain offering with each lamb. This is a burnt offering, a pleasing aroma, a food offering to the LORD.
14Their drink offerings shall be half a hin of wine with each bull, a third of a hin with the ram, and a quarter hin with each lamb. This is the monthly burnt offering to be made at each new moon throughout the year.
15In addition to the regular burnt offering with its drink offering, one male goat is to be presented to the LORD as a sin offering. 16The fourteenth day of the first month is the LORD’s Passover.Numbers 28:14 Summary
This verse, Numbers 28:14, talks about the drink offerings that were part of the monthly burnt offerings in the Old Testament. The people were to offer wine as a symbol of their joy and gratitude towards God, along with the animals they were sacrificing. This reminds us that our worship should be a regular and intentional part of our lives, just like the Israelites' monthly burnt offerings (as seen in Ezekiel 45:17). By following God's instructions for worship, we can show our love and dedication to Him, just as the Israelites did through their sacrifices and offerings (Romans 12:1).
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the significance of the drink offerings mentioned in Numbers 28:14?
The drink offerings, made with wine, were a vital part of the burnt offerings, symbolizing the joy and gratitude of the people towards God, as seen in Deuteronomy 29:6 and Psalm 104:15.
Why did the amount of wine vary with each type of animal in Numbers 28:14?
The varying amounts of wine, half a hin with each bull, a third of a hin with the ram, and a quarter hin with each lamb, may have been based on the value and size of the animals, emphasizing the importance of proportion and balance in worship, as mentioned in Leviticus 1:1-17.
How often were the monthly burnt offerings to be made, according to Numbers 28:14?
The monthly burnt offerings were to be made at each new moon throughout the year, as a regular reminder of the people's covenant with God and their need for atonement, as also mentioned in Ezekiel 45:17.
What is the relationship between the burnt offerings and the sin offering mentioned in Numbers 28:15?

Cambridge Bible on Numbers 28:14
Chapters 28, 29. P The amounts of public offerings at the sacred seasons The following are the seasons for which offerings are enjoined:—(1) every morning and evening (Numbers 28:3-8), (2) the Sabbath (Numbers 28:9 f.), (3) the first day of each month (Numbers 28:11-15) [the Passover is mentioned Numbers 28:16), but no offering is commanded], (4) the seven days of Unleavened Cakes (Numbers 28:17-25), (5) the Feast of Weeks (Numbers 28:26-31), (6) the first day of the sacred seventh month, i.e. the Feast of Trumpets (Numbers 29:1-6), (7) the tenth day of the seventh month, i.e. the Day of Atonement (Numbers 29:7-11), (8) the fifteenth to the twenty-first day of the seventh month, i.e. the seven days of the Feast of Booths (Numbers 29:12-31), (9) the additional, eighth, day of the Feast of Booths (Numbers 29:35-38). Nos. (7) and (9) shew that the list is post-exilic, for neither was observed before the time of Ezra. The offerings are of four kinds:—burnt-offerings (the flesh of animals), meal-offerings (meal and oil), drink-offerings or libations (wine), and sin-offerings (one he-goat). Similar lists, not, however, so complete and systematic, are found in the Law of Holiness (Leviticus 23) and Ezekiel 45:18 to Ezekiel 46:15. The amounts of the meal-offerings and libations have already been given in Numbers 15:1-16. The animals to be offered are as follows:—4 lambs for a burnt-offering on the Sabbath, and 2 on each of the other days in the week; on all the holy-days except the Sabbath one he-goat for a sin-offering; and in addition to these the following animals: LambsRamsBullocksst day of each month712Each of the 7 days of Unleavened Cakes712Feast of Weeks712st day of 7th month711th day of 7th month711Each of the 7 days of the Feast of Booths also 13 bullocks on the 1st day, and decreasing by one on each succeeding day.142th day of the Feast of Booths711
