Numbers 15:5 - Coke's Commentary on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

Wine— It is well remarked by Le Clerc, that as wine and oil are the most excellent liquors which the earth, by the order of Providence, produces for human use, God would have these to be offered to him in all sacrifices, that men might be continually put in mind of him from whom those blessings flowed, and openly acknowledge their great benefactor. Regard too, no doubt, was had, by enjoying the constant use of them, to the great and future realities in the Christian economy, whereof wine and oil were the standing emblems.

Numbers 15:5

5 And the fourth part of an hin of wine for a drink offering shalt thou prepare with the burnt offering or sacrifice, for one lamb.
