Commentary on Numbers 15:5

Theological / Devotional

A drink offering. Prom a root meaning “to pour out” (Jer. 7:18; Hosea 9:4); It is also used of casting metal (Isa. 40:19); the derived noun is translated “graven image” and “molten image” (Isa. 41:29; 48:5; Jer. 10:14 ; 51:17).

One lamb. If there was more than one lamb, the drink offering and the meat offering were increased accordingly. This was expressly so on a Sabbath day (ch. 28:4-9). No mention is made here of salt; yet it must have been added, since its omission from any sacrifice was forbidden (Lev. 2:13).
