Numbers 28:7,8 - Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary

Bible Comments

Observe, the wine is to be strong, that is, of the best quality, wine on the lees well refined: meaning, no doubt, in a spiritual sense, the richness and strength of that complete salvation which is of GOD in CHRIST. Our best things, our strongest, richest gifts are the LORD'S property, and therefore, justly the LORD'S due: and all that we have, and all that we can offer, are of his own free grace to us; and when returned to him again, have no merit in them, to plead before GOD. See Malachi 1:7-14. Let the Reader further observe, on these two verses, that this strong wine was to be poured out unto the LORD. So was JESUS'S blood poured out for the salvation of his church and people. And what is the service, even now, at the altar of JESUS, but the memorial of the same blood shedding? Oh! precious token of the Redeemer's love. LORD! may it be my portion with holy joy to take of this cup of salvation, and call upon the name of the LORD. Psalms 116:13.

Numbers 28:7-8

7 And the drink offering thereof shall be the fourth part of an hin for the one lamb: in the holy place shalt thou cause the strong wine to be poured unto the LORD for a drink offering.

8 And the other lamb shalt thou offer at even: as the meat offering of the morning, and as the drink offering thereof, thou shalt offer it, a sacrifice made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the LORD.
