Contextual Overview

1The Lord instructed Moses: 2“Speak to the Israelites and tell them: When you enter the land I am giving you to settle in, 3and you make a fire offering to the Lord from the herd or flock—either a burnt offering or a sacrifice, to fulfill a vow, or as a freewill offering, or at your appointed festivals—to produce a pleasing aroma for the Lord, 4the one presenting his offering to the Lord is also to present a grain offering of two quarts of fine flour mixed with a quart of oil. 5Prepare a quart of wine as a drink offering with the burnt offering or sacrifice of each lamb. 6“If you prepare a grain offering with a ram, it is to be four quarts of fine flour mixed with a third of a gallon of oil. 7Also present a third of a gallon of wine for a drink offering as a pleasing aroma to the Lord. 8“If you prepare a young bull as a burnt offering or as a sacrifice, to fulfill a vow, or as a fellowship offering to the Lord, 9a grain offering of six quarts of fine flour mixed with two quarts of oil is to be presented with the bull. 10Also present two quarts of wine as a drink offering. It is a fire offering of pleasing aroma to the Lord.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them,.... The younger sort of them, such as were under twenty years of age; for those of that age and upwards, who had murmured against the Lord, had been assured by him with an oath that they should die in the wilderness, and not see the land of Canaan, Numbers 14:29; whereas those Moses is here bid to speak to were such that should possess it:

when ye come into the land of your habitations, which I give unto,

you; the land of Canaan, the grant of which is here renewed to them, and an assurance given of their coming into it and settlement in it; and that they should have dwelling places there for their several tribes and families.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

To the Israelites of the younger generation is conveyed the hope that the nation should yet enter into the land of promise. The ordinances that follow are more likely to have been addressed to adults than to children; and we may therefore assume that at the date of their delivery the new generation was growing up, and the period of wandering drawing toward its close. During that period the meat-offerings and drink-offerings prescribed by the Law had been probably intermitted by reason of the scanty supply of grain and wine in the wilderness. The command therefore to provide such offerings was a pledge to Israel that it should possess the land which was to furnish the wherewithal for them.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Numbers 15:2. When ye be come into the land — Some learned men are of opinion that several offerings prescribed by the law were not intended to be made in the wilderness, but in the promised land; the former not affording those conveniences which were necessary to the complete observance of the Divine worship in this and several other respects.
