This is how you must prepare each one
This phrase underscores the importance of consistency and obedience in worship practices. The Hebrew root for "prepare" is עָשָׂה (asah), which means to do, make, or accomplish. This verb is often used in the context of fulfilling God's commandments, emphasizing the active role of the Israelites in their covenant relationship with God. The phrase suggests a meticulous approach to worship, reflecting the holiness and order that God desires. Historically, this reflects the structured nature of Israelite worship, which was designed to set them apart from surrounding nations and to maintain a constant reminder of their unique relationship with Yahweh.

no matter how many
This part of the verse highlights the principle of equality and uniformity in worship, regardless of the scale of the offering. The Hebrew word for "many" is רַב (rav), which can mean much, many, or great. This indicates that the same level of care and adherence to God's instructions is required whether the offering is large or small. It speaks to the unchanging nature of God's requirements and the idea that every act of worship, regardless of its size, is significant in the eyes of God. This principle can be seen throughout scripture, where God values the heart and intent behind the offering more than the offering itself. It serves as a reminder that in the Christian life, faithfulness in small things is just as important as in great things, reflecting the consistent and impartial nature of God's expectations.

Verse 12. - According to the number. The strict proportion of the meat and drink offerings was to be carried out with respect to the numbers, as well as the individual value, of the sacrifices.
