Appendix

It seems clear enough from Numbers 28.5 that the offering of a quarter part of an hin of oil was mingled with the tenth part of an ephah of fine flour, and that the oil was not offered alone.

The drink offering of wine (quarter part of an hin) was treated differently. It was poured out unto the LORD in the holy place (Numbers 28.7). I have not been able to find any scripture which would prove that the drink offering of wine was poured out on the altar of burnt offering. The pouring out seems to have been to the LORD in the holy place. The wine would be for the priests. Again, the oil being mingled with the fine flour of the meal offering could not be poured on the altar.

Again, is the instruction re the meal offering given in Leviticus 2 not applicable to the meal offering in connexion with the daily burnt offerings morning and evening? Throughout Numbers 28 and 29, burnt offerings have always their meal offerings mingled with oil and their drink offerings. Lack of full particulars as to what was done with the meal offering of fine flour mingled with a quarter part of an hin of oil and with the quarter part of an hin of wine makes one diffident about saying much about these.
