Study Notes — Numbers 28:8
Show Verse Quote Highlights
Context — The Daily Offerings
6This is a regular burnt offering established at Mount Sinai as a pleasing aroma, a food offering to the LORD.
7The drink offering accompanying each lamb shall be a quarter hin. Pour out the offering of fermented drink to the LORD in the sanctuary area.
8And offer the second lamb at twilight, with the same grain offering and drink offering as in the morning. It is a food offering, a pleasing aroma to the LORD.
9On the Sabbath day, present two unblemished year-old male lambs, accompanied by a grain offering of two-tenths of an ephah of fine flour mixed with oil, as well as a drink offering. 10This is the burnt offering for every Sabbath, in addition to the regular burnt offering and its drink offering.Numbers 28:8 Summary
[The verse Numbers 28:8 tells us about the second lamb that was offered to God every day at twilight, along with some grain and drink, as a reminder of God's love and care for His people, just like the morning offering. This daily ritual, as described in Exodus 29:38-42, helped the Israelites remember to worship and thank God throughout the day. By offering these sacrifices, the Israelites acknowledged God's presence and provision in their lives, and we can learn from their example by prioritizing worship and gratitude in our own daily lives (Psalm 55:17, Daniel 6:10). As we reflect on this verse, we can ask ourselves how we can 'bookend' our day with worship, just like the morning and evening offerings, and what impact this might have on our relationship with God.]
Frequently Asked Questions
Why were the Israelites required to offer two lambs every day, one in the morning and one at twilight?
The daily burnt offerings, as described in Numbers 28:8, were a reminder of the constant need for atonement and the importance of worship, as seen in Exodus 29:38-42 and Leviticus 1:1-17.
What is the significance of offering a lamb at twilight?
Offering a lamb at twilight, as mentioned in Numbers 28:8, was a way to bookend the day with worship, just like the morning offering, and to acknowledge God's presence and provision throughout the day, as seen in Psalm 55:17 and Daniel 6:10.
Why did the drink and grain offerings accompany the lamb?
The drink and grain offerings, as mentioned in Numbers 28:7-8, were a way to express gratitude and worship to God, acknowledging His provision and care, similar to the offerings described in Leviticus 2:1-16 and Deuteronomy 14:23.
How does this verse relate to the concept of a 'pleasing aroma' to the Lord?
The concept of a 'pleasing aroma' in Numbers 28:8 refers to the idea that the sacrifice and offerings were acceptable and pleasing to God, much like the sacrifices described in Genesis 8:20-21 and Ephesians 5:2, which were a sweet fragrance to Him.
Reflection Questions
- As I reflect on the daily offerings in Numbers 28:8, how can I prioritize worship and gratitude in my own daily life, acknowledging God's presence and provision?
- What are some ways I can 'bookend' my day with worship, just like the morning and evening offerings, and what impact might this have on my relationship with God?
- How does the idea of a 'pleasing aroma' to the Lord challenge or encourage me in my own walk with God, and what does it mean for my life to be a sweet fragrance to Him?
- In what ways can I, like the Israelites, express my gratitude and worship to God through the 'drink and grain offerings' of my life, such as my time, talents, and resources?
Gill's Exposition on Numbers 28:8
And the other lamb shalt thou offer at even,.... As before directed, Numbers 28:4: as the meat offering of the morning, and as the drink offering thereof, shalt thou offer it; some think that "caph",
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Numbers 28:8
And the other lamb shalt thou offer at even: as the meat offering of the morning, and as the drink offering thereof, thou shalt offer it, a sacrifice made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the LORD.
Matthew Poole's Commentary on Numbers 28:8
Thou shalt offer it, or, thou shalt offer with it. Or, with the meat offering of the morning, and with the drink offering thereof thou shalt offer it; the letter caph being put for beth, which are alike in Hebrew, and the words are said to be read with beth in some copies.
Cambridge Bible on Numbers 28:8
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
