summary and Study">Chapter </a></tr></table></div><b>On the Sabbath day</b><br>The Sabbath, observed from Friday evening to Saturday evening, is a day of rest and worship, rooted in the creation narrative where God rested on the seventh day. It is a sign of the covenant between God and Israel, emphasizing rest and holiness (<a href="/exodus/31-16.htm">Exodus 31:16-17</a>). The Sabbath offerings highlight the importance of dedicating this day to the Lord, setting it apart from the regular daily offerings.<p><b>present two unblemished year-old male lambs</b><br>The requirement for the lambs to be unblemished signifies purity and perfection, reflecting the holiness required in offerings to God. The age of one year indicates maturity and prime condition. This foreshadows Christ, the Lamb of God, who is without blemish or defect (<a href="/1_peter/1-19.htm">1 Peter 1:19</a>). The number two may symbolize witness and testimony, reinforcing the importance of the Sabbath.<p><b>accompanied by a grain offering of two-tenths of an ephah of fine flour mixed with oil</b><br>The grain offering, or "minchah," represents the fruits of human labor and dedication to God. Fine flour signifies purity and quality, while oil often symbolizes the Holy Spirit. The specific measure, two-tenths of an ephah, indicates a substantial offering, reflecting generosity and devotion. This offering complements the animal sacrifice, showing a holistic approach to worship involving both animal and agricultural elements.<p><b>as well as a drink offering</b><br>The drink offering, typically wine, is poured out as a libation, symbolizing the pouring out of one's life in service to God. It complements the burnt and grain offerings, completing the sacrificial system. This act of pouring out can be seen as a precursor to the New Testament understanding of Christ's blood being poured out for the forgiveness of sins (<a href="/matthew/26-28.htm">Matthew 26:28</a>). The drink offering signifies joy and fellowship with God, as wine is often associated with celebration and covenantal meals.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/m/moses.htm">Moses</a></b><br>The leader of the Israelites who received the laws and instructions from God, including the sacrificial system outlined in Numbers.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/i/israelites.htm">Israelites</a></b><br>The people of God who were given these laws to follow as part of their covenant relationship with Him.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/s/sabbath.htm">Sabbath</a></b><br>The seventh day of the week, set apart by God as a day of rest and worship, during which these specific offerings were to be made.<br><br>4. <b><a href="/topical/t/tabernacle.htm">Tabernacle</a></b><br>The portable sanctuary where the Israelites worshiped God and where these offerings were presented.<br><br>5. <b><a href="/topical/p/priests.htm">Priests</a></b><br>The descendants of Aaron who were responsible for performing the sacrifices and maintaining the rituals as prescribed by the law.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/t/the_importance_of_worship.htm">The Importance of Worship</a></b><br>The specific instructions for Sabbath offerings highlight the importance of regular, intentional worship in the life of a believer.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/h/holiness_and_purity.htm">Holiness and Purity</a></b><br>The requirement for unblemished lambs signifies the need for purity and holiness in our approach to God.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/c/consistency_in_devotion.htm">Consistency in Devotion</a></b><br>The regularity of the Sabbath offerings teaches us the value of consistent devotion and commitment to God.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/s/symbolism_of_sacrifice.htm">Symbolism of Sacrifice</a></b><br>The offerings symbolize the ultimate sacrifice of Jesus Christ, encouraging us to reflect on His atonement and our response to it.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/r/rest_and_reflection.htm">Rest and Reflection</a></b><br>Observing the Sabbath as a day of rest allows for reflection on God's provision and grace, reminding us of our dependence on Him.<div class="vheading2">Lists and Questions</div><a href="/top10/lessons_from_numbers_28.htm">Top 10 Lessons from Numbers 28</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/do_sabbath_sacrifices_contradict_rest_laws.htm">Does Numbers 28:9–10, mandating additional sacrifices on the Sabbath, contradict other passages prohibiting labor on the Sabbath? </a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/what_evidence_confirms_numbers_28_sacrifices.htm">What historical or archaeological evidence confirms these extensive sacrifices ever took place as stated in Numbers 28?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/evidence_of_psalm_92_in_ancient_sabbath.htm">Psalm 92 is labeled “A Song for the Sabbath Day”—is there any verifiable historical or archaeological evidence of its specific use in ancient Sabbath worship? </a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/how_did_all_stop_work_every_7th_day.htm">In Leviticus 23:3, how could an entire population realistically stop all work every seventh day without compromising essential services or survival needs? </a><a name="commentary" id="commentary"></a><div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/ellicott/numbers/28.htm">Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers</a></div>(9) <span class= "bld">And on the sabbath day two lambs . . . --</span>The Sabbath offering which was to be added to the daily sacrifice is here enjoined for the first time.
