In the context of the Old Testament, offerings were a central part of worship and covenant relationship with God. The term "food offering" refers to sacrifices that were pleasing to God, symbolizing the people's devotion and obedience. The Hebrew word for "food offering" can also be translated as "bread," indicating sustenance and fellowship with God.<p><b>you are to present to the LORD</b><br>The offerings were to be presented to the LORD, emphasizing that they were acts of worship directed towards God. This reflects the covenant relationship between God and Israel, where God is the sovereign LORD deserving of worship and obedience. The act of presenting offerings was a way for the Israelites to acknowledge God's holiness and their dependence on Him.<p><b>as a regular burnt offering each day</b><br>The regularity of the burnt offering signifies the continual need for atonement and dedication to God. Burnt offerings were entirely consumed by fire, symbolizing total surrender to God. The daily offering underscores the importance of consistent worship and the need for ongoing atonement for sin. This practice foreshadows the ultimate sacrifice of Jesus Christ, who provides eternal atonement.<p><b>two unblemished year-old male lambs</b><br>The requirement for the lambs to be unblemished and year-old highlights the need for purity and perfection in offerings to God. This prefigures Christ, the Lamb of God, who was without sin and offered Himself as the perfect sacrifice. The use of male lambs is significant, as it aligns with the sacrificial system where males were often used, symbolizing strength and leadership. The age of the lambs, being one year old, indicates they were in their prime, representing the best of what the Israelites could offer.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_israelites.htm">The Israelites</a></b><br>The chosen people of God, descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, who are being instructed on how to worship and honor God through sacrifices.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_lord.htm">The LORD (Yahweh)</a></b><br>The covenant God of Israel, who is giving these instructions to Moses for the people to follow as they enter the Promised Land.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/m/moses.htm">Moses</a></b><br>The leader of the Israelites, who is receiving these instructions from God to communicate to the people.<br><br>4. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_promised_land.htm">The Promised Land</a></b><br>The land of Canaan, which God promised to the descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.<br><br>5. <b><a href="/topical/s/sacrifices/offerings.htm">Sacrifices/Offerings</a></b><br>The specific offerings from the herd and flock that are to be presented to God as a pleasing aroma, symbolizing worship and obedience.<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 commanded to follow a specific schedule for offerings, highlighting the importance of obedience in worship.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/s/symbolism_of_sacrifice.htm">Symbolism of Sacrifice</a></b><br>The offerings were a "pleasing aroma" to God, symbolizing the heart of worship and the desire to please God through obedience and devotion.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/c/continuity_of_worship.htm">Continuity of Worship</a></b><br>The sacrificial system points to a continuous relationship with God, requiring regular and intentional acts of worship.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/f/foreshadowing_christ.htm">Foreshadowing Christ</a></b><br>The sacrificial system foreshadows the ultimate sacrifice of Jesus, teaching us about the cost of sin and the provision of grace.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/l/living_sacrifices_today.htm">Living Sacrifices Today</a></b><br>As believers, we are called to present ourselves as living sacrifices, dedicating our lives to God in daily acts of worship and service.<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/how_did_israelites_supply_many_sacrifice_animals.htm">How could the Israelites realistically supply the large number of animals required for the consecutive sacrifices in Numbers 29? </a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/what's_the_meaning_of_a_burnt_offering.htm">What is the significance of a burnt offering?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/is_there_evidence_of_24-hour_worship.htm">Psalm 134:1 mentions serving “by night” in the temple; does any archaeological evidence support 24-hour worship in ancient Israel? </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><a name="commentary" id="commentary"></a><div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/ellicott/numbers/28.htm">Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers</a></div>(3) <span class= "bld">Two lambs of the first year . . . --</span>See <a href="/context/exodus/29-38.htm" title="Now this is that which you shall offer on the altar; two lambs of the first year day by day continually.">Exodus 29:38-42</a>.<p><span class= "bld">A continual burnt offering.--</span>The morning and evening lamb offered as "a continual burnt offering" afforded a striking type of the Lamb of God offered once for all" (<a href="/hebrews/7-3.htm" title="Without father, without mother, without descent, having neither beginning of days, nor end of life; but made like to the Son of God; stays a priest continually.">Hebrews 7:3</a>; <a href="/hebrews/10-12.htm" title="But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God;">Hebrews 10:12</a>; <a href="/hebrews/10-14.htm" title="For by one offering he has perfected for ever them that are sanctified.">Hebrews 10:14</a>).<p><div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/numbers/28.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div><span class="cmt_sub_title">Verse 3.</span> - <span class="cmt_word">This is the offering made by fire.</span> The daily offering prescribed at <a href="/exodus/29-38.htm">Exodus 29:38-42</a>, and which had presumably never been intermitted since, is specified again here because it formed the foundation of the whole sacrificial system.
