Offerings are to be observed3. The continual burnt offering 9. The offering on the Sabbath 11. On the new Moons 16. At the Passover 26. In the day of the firstfruits The drink offering accompanying each lamb shall be a quarter hin. In the context of ancient Israelite worship, the drink offering, or libation, was a significant part of the sacrificial system. A "quarter hin" is an ancient measurement equivalent to about one liter or a little more than a quart. This specific measurement indicates the precision and care required in worship practices, reflecting the importance of obedience to God's commands. The drink offering was typically wine, symbolizing joy and celebration, and it accompanied the burnt offering of a lamb, which was a daily sacrifice. This practice underscores the idea of completeness in worship, where both food (the lamb) and drink (the wine) are offered to God. The lamb itself is a type of Christ, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world (John 1:29). Pour out the offering of fermented drink to the LORD in the sanctuary area. Persons / Places / Events 1. The SanctuaryThe sacred place where the Israelites were to offer sacrifices and offerings to God. It represents God's dwelling among His people and the place of divine worship. 2. The Drink Offering A libation of wine poured out as part of the sacrificial system. It symbolizes the pouring out of one's life in service and devotion to God. 3. The Lamb Represents the sacrificial animal offered daily. It prefigures Christ, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world. 4. The LORD The covenant name of God, Yahweh, to whom the offerings are made. It emphasizes His holiness and the relationship with His people. 5. The Holy Place The area within the tabernacle or temple where the priests performed their duties. It signifies the presence of God and the need for purity and reverence. Teaching Points The Importance of WorshipThe drink offering reminds us of the importance of regular, dedicated worship in our lives. Just as the Israelites had daily offerings, we should cultivate daily habits of worship and devotion. Symbolism of Sacrifice The pouring out of the drink offering symbolizes a life fully surrendered to God. We are called to offer our lives as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to Him. Christ as the Fulfillment The sacrificial system, including the drink offering, points to Jesus Christ, who fulfilled the law and the prophets. Our faith is rooted in His ultimate sacrifice. Holiness and Reverence The setting of the sanctuary and the holy place underscores the need for holiness and reverence in our approach to God. We should approach Him with awe and respect. Community and Covenant The communal aspect of the offerings highlights the importance of community in worship. We are part of a covenant community, called to worship together and support one another.(7) Shalt thou cause the strong wine to be poured . . . --Better, pour out the drink offering of strong drink. The word shecar, which is here rendered "strong wine," denotes any kind of intoxicating drink, whether made from grapes, honey, or grain; but it is more frequently used to denote a drink which is not made from grapes, as, e.g., in Leviticus 10:9, where the command is given to Aaron and his sons not to drink "wine nor strong drink" (shecar) when they went into the tent of meeting. In the parallel passage in Exodus, the drink offering was to consist of "the fourth part of an hin of wine" (Numbers 29:40). (Comp. Numbers 15:5.) In Exodus 30:9 it is forbidden to pour any drink offering upon the altar of incense, from which passage it has been inferred that the drink offerings were poured upon the altar of burnt sacrifice.Verse 7. - In the holy place. בַּקֹּדֶשׁ. Septuagint, ἐν τῷ ἀγίῳ. Josephus paraphrases this by περὶ τὸν βωμόν ('Ant.,' 3:10), and so the Targum of Onkelos; Jonathan and the Targum of Palestine render, "from the vessels of the sanctuary." The former would seem to be the real meaning of the original. There is nowhere any specific direction as to the ritual of the drink offering (see on Leviticus 23, and Numbers 15:7, 10), nor is it certain whether it was poured at the foot of the altar (as apparently stated in Ecclus. 1. 15) or poured upon the flesh of the sacrifice on the altar (as seems to be implied in Philippians 2:17). The strong wine. שֵׁכָר. Septuagint, σίκερα. The Targums render it "old wine," because the drink offering was in every other instance ordered to be made with wine (Exodus 29:40, etc.). Shecar, however, was not wine, but strong drink other than wine (such as we call "spirits"), and it is invariably used in that sense in contradistinction to wine (see on Leviticus 10:9; Numbers 6:3, etc.). It can only be supposed that the difficulty of procuring wine in the wilderness had caused the coarser and commoner liquor to be substituted for it. It is certainly remarkable that the mention of shecar should be retained at a time when wine must have been easily obtainable, and was about to become abundant (Deuteronomy 8:8). As it would seem impossible that shecar should have been substituted for wine after the settlement in Canaan, its mention here may be accepted as evidence of the wilderness-origin of this particular ordinance. The quantity ordained (about a quart for each lamb) was very considerable. Parallel Commentaries ...
