A tenth of an ephah would be a small portion, indicating the precision and care in offerings. Fine flour signifies purity and quality, reflecting the best of what the Israelites could offer to God. This offering is part of the daily sacrifices, emphasizing regular devotion and the importance of consistency in worship.<p><b>mixed with oil</b><br>Oil, often olive oil, was a staple in ancient Israelite culture, used for cooking, anointing, and as a symbol of the Holy Spirit. Mixing oil with flour in offerings symbolizes the anointing and presence of God, as well as the richness and abundance of His provision. This mixture also points to the unity of the Spirit and the Word, as oil often represents the Spirit and flour the sustenance of life.<p><b>as a grain offering with each lamb</b><br>The grain offering, or "minchah," was a tribute to God, acknowledging His provision and sovereignty. It accompanied the burnt offering of a lamb, which was a daily sacrifice. The lamb is a significant symbol throughout Scripture, representing innocence and sacrifice, ultimately pointing to Jesus Christ, the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world (<a href="/john/1-29.htm">John 1:29</a>).<p><b>This is a burnt offering</b><br>The burnt offering, or "olah," was entirely consumed by fire, symbolizing complete surrender and dedication to God. It was a voluntary act of worship, expressing atonement and devotion. The total consumption by fire signifies the totality of the offering, representing the worshiper's complete submission to God's will.<p><b>a pleasing aroma</b><br>The phrase "a pleasing aroma" is used throughout the Old Testament to describe sacrifices that are acceptable to God. It signifies God's satisfaction with the offering, not because of the physical smell, but because of the heart and obedience behind it. This concept is echoed in the New Testament, where believers are encouraged to live lives that are a "fragrant offering" to God (<a href="/ephesians/5-2.htm">Ephesians 5:2</a>).<p><b>a food offering to the LORD</b><br>The term "food offering" indicates that the sacrifice is seen as sustenance for God, though not in a literal sense. It reflects the idea of fellowship and communion with God, as offerings were a way to maintain a relationship with Him. This concept is fulfilled in the New Testament through Jesus, who is the bread of life (<a href="/john/6-35.htm">John 6:35</a>), providing spiritual nourishment and eternal life to believers.<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 chosen people of God, who were given specific instructions on how to worship and offer sacrifices to maintain their covenant relationship with Him.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/t/tabernacle.htm">Tabernacle</a></b><br>The portable dwelling place for the divine presence among the Israelites, where sacrifices and offerings were made.<br><br>4. <b><a href="/topical/b/burnt_offering.htm">Burnt Offering</a></b><br>A type of sacrifice in which the entire offering is consumed by fire, symbolizing complete dedication to God.<br><br>5. <b><a href="/topical/g/grain_offering.htm">Grain Offering</a></b><br>An offering made of fine flour mixed with oil, symbolizing the fruits of human labor and dedication to God.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/t/the_importance_of_obedience.htm">The Importance of Obedience</a></b><br>The Israelites were required to follow specific instructions for offerings, demonstrating the importance of obedience in worship.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/s/symbolism_of_sacrifice.htm">Symbolism of Sacrifice</a></b><br>The burnt offering as a "pleasing aroma" signifies total surrender and dedication to God, reminding us of the need for wholehearted devotion.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/t/the_role_of_offerings_in_worship.htm">The Role of Offerings in Worship</a></b><br>Offerings were a central part of Israelite worship, teaching us the value of giving our best to God in our own worship practices.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/c/christ_as_the_fulfillment.htm">Christ as the Fulfillment</a></b><br>The sacrificial system points to Christ, whose sacrifice was the ultimate pleasing aroma to God, encouraging us to live lives that reflect His sacrifice.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/d/daily_dedication.htm">Daily Dedication</a></b><br>Just as the Israelites offered daily sacrifices, we are called to daily dedicate our lives to God, offering our time, talents, and resources.<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/is_the_trinity_visible_in_heaven.htm">Is the Trinity visible in heaven?</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/how_is_lamb_worship_reconciled_with_god-only.htm">How do we reconcile the universal worship of the Lamb (Revelation 5:13) with other parts of the Bible that emphasize worship of God alone (e.g., Exodus 20:3)?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/how_do_priests'_inheritances_align_biblically.htm">Ezekiel 44:28 indicates priests have no inheritance apart from the Lord--how does this align with land allotment practices known from other biblical or historical sources?</a><a name="commentary" id="commentary"></a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><span class="versiontext"><a href="/commentaries/numbers/28-13.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a></span><span class="p"><br /><br /><br /></span><a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div><span class="word">and a tenth [of an ephah]</span><br /><span class="heb">וְעִשָּׂרֹ֣ן</span> <span class="translit">(wə·‘iś·śā·rōn)</span><br /><span class="parse">Conjunctive waw | Noun -
