Commentary

Commentary on Numbers 6:14

Theological / Devotional

Offer his offering. On the completion of the period of his vow he would return to his ordinary way of life, hence the need of a sin offering. The sin offering was normally offered before the burnt offering. The sin offering was for any omissions of which he may have been guilty during the days of his vow.

Peace offerings. The Hebrew word here is of uncertain origin, and may be connected with the word “peace,” or with another meaning “to make restitution.” It is an offering for happy occasions, an offering of thankfulness, with the worshiper eating part of the sacrifice.
