28th Numbers 28 Regular Offerings
1: And the LORD spake unto Moses,
saying, 2: Command the children of Israel, and say unto them, My offering, and
my bread for my sacrifices made by fire, for a sweet savour unto me, shall ye
observe to offer unto me in their due season. 3: And thou shalt say unto them,
This is the offering made by fire which ye shall offer unto the LORD; two lambs
of the first year without spot day by day, for a continual burnt offering. 4:
The one lamb shalt thou offer in the morning, and the other lamb shalt thou
offer at even; 5: And a tenth part of an ephah of flour for a meat offering,
mingled with the fourth part of an hin of beaten oil. 6: It is a continual
burnt offering, which was ordained in mount Sinai for a sweet savour, a
sacrifice made by fire unto the LORD. 7: And the drink offering thereof shall
be the fourth part of an hin for the one lamb: in the holy place shalt thou
cause the strong wine to be poured unto the LORD for a drink offering. 8: And
the other lamb shalt thou offer at even: as the meat offering of the morning,
and as the drink offering thereof, thou shalt offer it, a sacrifice made by
fire, of a sweet savour unto the LORD. 9: And on the sabbath day two lambs of
the first year without spot, and two tenth deals of flour for a meat offering,
mingled with oil, and the drink offering thereof: 10: This is the burnt
offering of every sabbath, beside the continual burnt offering, and his drink
offering. 11: And in the beginnings of your months ye shall offer a burnt
offering unto the LORD; two young bullocks, and one ram, seven lambs of the
first year without spot; 12: And three tenth deals of flour for a meat
offering, mingled with oil, for one bullock; and two tenth deals of flour for a
meat offering, mingled with oil, for one ram; 13: And a several tenth deal of
flour mingled with oil for a meat offering unto one lamb; for a burnt offering
of a sweet savour, a sacrifice made by fire unto the LORD. 14: And their drink
offerings shall be half an hin of wine unto a bullock, and the third part of an
hin unto a ram, and a fourth part of an hin unto a lamb: this is the burnt
offering of every month throughout the months of the year. 15: And one kid of
the goats for a sin offering unto the LORD shall be offered, beside the

Numbers
30 Women’s Vows
1: And Moses spake unto the heads of
the tribes concerning the children of Israel, saying, This is the thing
which the LORD hath commanded. 2: If a man vow a vow unto the LORD, or swear an
oath to bind his soul with a bond; he shall not break his word, he shall do
according to all that proceedeth out of his mouth. 3: If a woman also vow a vow
unto the LORD, and bind herself by a bond, being in her father's house in her
youth; 4: And her father hear her vow, and her bond wherewith she hath bound
her soul, and her father shall hold his peace at her: then all her vows shall
stand, and every bond wherewith she hath bound her soul shall stand. 5: But if
her father disallow her in the day that he heareth; not any of her vows, or of
her bonds wherewith she hath bound her soul, shall stand: and the LORD shall
forgive her, because her father disallowed her. 6: And if she had at all an
husband, when she vowed, or uttered ought out of her lips, wherewith she bound
her soul; 7: And her husband heard it, and held his peace at her in the day
that he heard it: then her vows shall stand, and her bonds wherewith she bound
her soul shall stand. 8: But if her husband disallowed her on the day that he
heard it; then he shall make her vow which she vowed, and that which she
uttered with her lips, wherewith she bound her soul, of none effect: and the
LORD shall forgive her. 9: But every vow of a widow, and of her that is
divorced, wherewith they have bound their souls, shall stand against her. 10:
And if she vowed in her husband's house, or bound her soul by a bond with an
oath; 11: And her husband heard it, and held his peace at her, and disallowed
her not: then all her vows shall stand, and every bond wherewith she bound her
soul shall stand. 12: But if her husband hath utterly made them void on the day
he heard them; then whatsoever proceeded out of her lips concerning her vows,
or concerning the bond of her soul, shall not stand: her husband hath made them
void; and the LORD shall forgive her. 13: Every vow, and every binding oath to
afflict the soul, her husband may establish it, or her husband may make it
void. 14: But if her husband altogether hold his peace at her from day to day;
then he establisheth all her vows, or all her bonds, which are upon her: he
confirmeth them, because he held his peace at her in the day that he heard
them. 15: But if he shall any ways make them void after that he hath heard
them; then he shall bear her iniquity. 16: These are the statutes, which the
LORD commanded Moses, between a man and his wife, between the father and his
daughter, being yet in her youth in her father's house.
In the last Bible reading of this
month we read that the Lord specified a number of offerings at various times
and the Lord describes the vows peculiar to women. The Lord first outlines the
burnt offering. These are to be continually offered to the Lord. One lamb was
offered in the morning (Probably 9am) and the other in the evening. (Probably
3pm) It was an offering made by fire and a sweet savour. This was a daily
sacrifice. On the Sabbath day two other lambs were offered apart from the daily
offerings. This was also a burnt offering made by fire to the Lord. On the
first day of each month another burnt offering was to be made but this was to
be two young bullocks, one ram and seven lamb ‘yearlings’ perfect specimens
plus a meal offering and one kid of the goats for a sin offering. As well as
the daily, weekly and monthly offerings there were also annual offerings. The
first yearly offering was the Passover. The offerings were similar to the
monthly offering except that a goat was offered for a sin offering to make
atonement. These offerings were made on top of the daily offerings and they
were offered every day of the feast. On the day of the feast of firstfruits a
similar set off offerings were made to the Lord. On the feast of trumpets one
young bullock, one ram, seven lambs of the first year. Included was a meal
offering and one kid of the goats for a sin offering. On the seventh month a
holy gathering was to be celebrated. Again the first day there were the same
offerings as before but on the second day 12 bullocks, 2 rams, 14 lambs with
the meal offerings and drink offerings. On the next day 11 bullocks, 2 rams, 14
lambs with the meal and drink offerings, plus one goat for a sin offering. On
the fourth day 10 bullocks, 2 rams, 14 lambs etc etc. On the fifth day 9
bullocks, 2 rams, 14 lambs etc. On the sixth day 8 bullocks 2 rams and 14
lambs. On the seventh day 7 bullocks, 2 rams and 14 lambs. On the eighth day
they were to have a solemn assembly and no common work it to be done. Only 1
bullock, 1 ram, 7 lambs plus 1 goat for a sin offering. All these things were
over and above the ordinary offerings. In all these things we see a decreasing
level of worship. Then the Lord gives to Moses clear instructions regarding the
making of oaths. The first thing is that oaths are to be kept not broken.
However if a young unmarried woman made a vow and her father hear her, he may
absolve her of her oath. The same was true of a wife and widow.
