Numbers 28:6 Summary
The verse Numbers 28:6 talks about a special offering called a burnt offering that the Israelites made to God. This offering was like a gift to God, showing that they loved and obeyed Him. It was a 'pleasing aroma' to God, meaning that it made Him happy. Just like the Israelites, we can offer our lives to God as a gift, by living in a way that pleases Him, as seen in Colossians 1:10, where we are called to walk worthy of the Lord, and Romans 12:1, where we are called to offer our bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the significance of the burnt offering in Numbers 28:6?
The burnt offering, as described in Numbers 28:6, was a regular offering made by fire to the LORD, symbolizing the complete surrender of the Israelites to God, much like the offering of Jesus Christ in Romans 12:1, where we are called to offer our bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God.
Why was the burnt offering established at Mount Sinai?
The burnt offering was established at Mount Sinai, as mentioned in Numbers 28:6, because it was at Mount Sinai that God first gave the Israelites the instructions for the offerings and sacrifices, as seen in Leviticus 1:1-17, where God spoke to Moses about the burnt offering, and Exodus 19:1-25, where the Israelites received the covenant from God.
What does the phrase 'a pleasing aroma' mean in Numbers 28:6?
The phrase 'a pleasing aroma' in Numbers 28:6 refers to the sweet smell of the offerings that rose up to God, symbolizing the acceptance and delight of God in the offerings, similar to what is described in Ephesians 5:2, where we are called to be a fragrant offering to God, and Genesis 8:21, where Noah's offering was a pleasing aroma to the LORD after the flood.
How does the offering in Numbers 28:6 relate to our worship today?
Although we do not offer burnt offerings today, the principle of offering our lives as a sacrifice to God remains, as seen in Romans 12:1, where we are called to offer our bodies as living sacrifices, and Hebrews 13:15-16, where we are encouraged to offer the sacrifice of praise to God, giving thanks to His name.
Reflection Questions
- What does it mean for me to offer my life as a 'pleasing aroma' to God, and how can I live in a way that is acceptable to Him?
- In what ways can I surrender my life to God, just as the Israelites surrendered their offerings to Him?
- How can I make my worship a 'regular' part of my life, just as the Israelites had regular burnt offerings?
- What are some things in my life that I can 'offer up' to God, just as the Israelites offered up their sacrifices, and how can I trust that He will accept them?

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Numbers 28:6
The one lamb shalt thou offer in the morning, and the other lamb shalt thou offer at even; No JFB commentary on these verses.
Matthew Poole's Commentary on Numbers 28:6
Ordained, or, prescribed, instituted by God. Or, made, i.e. offered at that place, though since omitted for thirty-eight years.
Ellicott's Commentary on Numbers 28:6
(6) Which was ordained in mount Sinai . . . Or, which was offered (Hebrew, made) in Mount Sinai. Ibn Ezra adduces this passage as a proof that the Israelites ceased to offer burnt sacrifices after they left the encampment at Sinai throughout the time of their wanderings in the wilderness.
Cambridge Bible on Numbers 28:6
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
