Contextual Overview

1 The Lord said to Moses, 2 "Say to the people of Israel, ‘When you go into the land where you are to live, which I am giving you, 3 then give a gift in worship by fire to the Lord. Give a gift from the herd or the flock, a burnt gift, or a gift to keep a special promise, or a free-will gift, or one during special suppers. This will be to make a pleasing smell to the Lord. 4 The one who brings his gift will bring to the Lord a grain gift of one-tenth part of a basket of fine flour mixed with one-fourth part of a large jar of oil. 5 And make ready one-fourth part of a large jar of wine to pour over the burnt gift or for each lamb given on the altar in worship. 6 Or for a ram, make ready a grain gift of two-tenths part of a basket of fine flour mixed with one-third part of a large jar of oil. 7 Then make one-third part of a large jar of wine for the drink gift, a pleasing smell to the Lord. 8 You may make ready a bull for a burnt gift or give an animal on the altar in worship, to keep a special promise, or give peace gifts to the Lord. 9 With the bull bring a grain gift of three-tenths part of a basket of fine flour mixed with half a large jar of oil. 10 Bring for the drink gift half a large jar of wine, as a gift by fire, a pleasing smell to the Lord.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

One law, and one manner,.... One law respecting these sacrifices, and one manner of offering them; one and the same precept to be observed, and one and the same judgment or punishment inflicted in case of non-observance:

shall be for you, and the stranger that sojourneth with you; for Israelites and proselytes; which is said to invite and encourage the latter, and may have a distant view to the calling of the Gentiles in Gospel times, when there should be no difference between Jews and Gentiles called by grace in matters of religion, but would be one in Christ, Galatians 3:28.
