Context — Passover and the Feast of Unleavened Bread

22Include one male goat as a sin offering to make atonement for you. 23You are to present these in addition to the regular morning burnt offering.

25On the seventh day you shall hold a sacred assembly; you must not do any regular work. 26On the day of firstfruits, when you present an offering of new grain to the LORD during the Feast of Weeks, you are to hold a sacred assembly; you must not do any regular work.

Numbers 28:24 Summary

This verse reminds us that our worship and obedience to God should be consistent and intentional, just like the Israelites were instructed to offer the same food each day for seven days. By doing so, we present our lives as a pleasing aroma to God, just as Jesus taught us to pray for our daily bread in Matthew 6:11. This act of faithful obedience is a reminder that our lives should be a living sacrifice, acceptable to God, as described in Romans 12:1-2. As we seek to live out our faith, we can learn from the example of the Israelites and prioritize consistent worship and obedience in our daily lives.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the significance of offering the same food each day for seven days?

How does this verse relate to the concept of sacrifice in the Bible?

What is the purpose of the drink offering and the regular burnt offering?

The drink offering and the regular burnt offering, mentioned in Numbers 28:24, were part of the ceremonial law, which served as a reminder of the need for purification and the importance of worship, as seen in Leviticus 1:9, and ultimately point to the perfect sacrifice of Jesus Christ, who fulfilled the law, as stated in Matthew 5:17.

How does this verse apply to our lives as Christians today?

While we are no longer required to make sacrifices as described in Numbers 28:24, this verse reminds us of the importance of consistent, faithful worship and obedience to God, as encouraged in Romans 12:1, and the need to present our lives as a living sacrifice, acceptable to God, as described in Romans 12:1-2.

Gill's Exposition on Numbers 28:24

After this manner ye shall offer daily throughout the seven days,.... That is, two bullocks, one ram, and seven lambs, for a burnt offering, on everyone of the seven days; but then they were not all

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Numbers 28:24

And in the fourteenth day of the first month is the passover of the LORD. In the fourteenth day of the first month is the Passover.

Matthew Poole's Commentary on Numbers 28:24

i.e. The sacrifice made by fire, which is as it were my meat or food; for as God is said to smell the sacrifices, to wit, metaphorically, i.e. to accept of them; so is he said to eat them, i.e. to devour or consume them, and to be satisfied with them: such things spoken of God after the manner of men are to be understood so as to agree with the majesty of God.

Cambridge Bible on Numbers 28:24

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
