Summary

In Numbers 28:20, God instructs the Israelites to offer a male lamb as a burnt offering each day, along with its corresponding grain offering and drink offering. This daily sacrifice was to be a pleasing aroma to the Lord, symbolizing the Israelites' commitment to worship and obedience. The consistency of this offering reflects the importance of daily devotion and the continual seeking of God's presence. It also points to the ultimate sacrifice of Jesus Christ, who became the perfect and final offering for the sins of humanity, once and for all.

John Gill Bible Commentary

And their meat offering,.... The quantity of flour for which is the same for a bullock, a ram, and a lamb, as in Num 28:12. . Numbers 28:22 num 28:22 num 28:22 num 28:22And one goat for a sin offering, to make atonement for you. For notwithstanding all their services and sacrifices, and though this day was an holy convocation, yet there was need of a sin offering to expiate their guilt, typical of Christ, who takes away the sins of our holy things as well as all other sins: this sin offering also was of that sort which were eaten; for Maimonides says (k), the goat of the sin offering was eaten on the second day of the passover, which was the sixteenth of Nisan. (k) Maimon. Hilchot Tamidin, c. 7. sect. 3.
