Numbers 28:2 - Albert Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Bible Comments

My offering, and my bread ... - Or, my offering, even my bread, etc. Offering is here קרבן qorbân (compare Leviticus 1:2; Mark 7:11), a term in itself of quite general import, but often especially applied, as apparently in this instance, to the meat-offering which accompanied the sacrifices. This meat-offering connected itself, from its very nature, with the life of the Israelites in Canaan, not with their life in the wilderness; and it was annexed to the animal sacrifices as a token that the people must dedicate to God their property and the fruits of their labor as well as their own persons. See Numbers 15:2 note and Leviticus 21:6.

Numbers 28:2

2 Command the children of Israel, and say unto them, My offering, and my bread for my sacrifices made by fire, for a sweeta savour unto me, shall ye observe to offer unto me in their due season.
