With the first lamb
This phrase indicates the specific timing and sequence of the offerings. The "first lamb" refers to the morning sacrifice, which was part of the daily offerings in the tabernacle. Historically, this practice underscores the importance of beginning the day with worship and dedication to God. The lamb, a symbol of innocence and purity, prefigures Christ, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world (John 1:29).

you are to offer
The act of offering is central to the worship practices of ancient Israel. The Hebrew root for "offer" is "qarab," which means to draw near or present. This reflects the purpose of offerings: to draw near to God and present oneself in worship and obedience. It is a reminder of the believer's call to present themselves as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God (Romans 12:1).

a tenth of an ephah of fine flour
The "tenth of an ephah" is a measure of volume, approximately equivalent to 2.2 liters or about 2 quarts. "Fine flour" signifies the best and most refined product, symbolizing the purity and excellence required in offerings to God. This offering represents the fruit of human labor, acknowledging God's provision and sovereignty over all aspects of life.

mixed with a quarter hin of oil from pressed olives
The "quarter hin" is a measure of liquid, roughly equivalent to 1 liter or about 1 quart. Oil from pressed olives was a valuable commodity in ancient Israel, used for anointing, cooking, and lighting. The mixing of oil with flour in the offering signifies the work of the Holy Spirit, who empowers and sanctifies the believer's life and service.

and a quarter hin of wine as a drink offering
Wine, like oil, was a staple in the ancient Near Eastern diet and held significant symbolic meaning. The "drink offering" was poured out as a libation, symbolizing the outpouring of one's life in service to God. This act of pouring out is reminiscent of the Apostle Paul's words in Philippians 2:17, where he describes his life as being poured out like a drink offering upon the sacrifice and service of faith.

Verse 40. - A tenth deal - i.e., a "tenth part." The tenth part of an ephah is no doubt meant. This was sometimes called "an omen" (Exodus 16:36), and would be about three pounds weight of flour, or a little more. One fourth part of an hin of beaten oil. The word hin is said to be Egyptian. It occurs here for the first time. The bin was the sixth part of a bath, and probably contained about one pint and a half English. The fourth part of an hin of wine for a drink-offering. The application of the "drink-offerings" is uncertain. Josephus says (Ant. Jud. 3:9, § 4) that they were poured out round the brazen altar. But the analogy of the "meat offering" makes it probable that a portion only was thus treated, while the greater part belonged to the priests. In the entire provision by which burnt and peace-offering were to be necessarily accompanied with meat-offerings and drink-offerings, we can scarcely be wrong in seeing an arrangement made especially for the convenience of the priests.
