Exegetical and Hermeneutical Commentary of Exodus 29:40

Exegetical and Hermeneutical Commentary of Exodus 29:40

And with the one lamb a tenth deal of flour mingled with the fourth part of a hin of beaten oil; and the fourth part of a hin of wine [for] a drink offering.

40. The minh, or ‘meal-offering’ (see Leviticus 2), as it is expressly termed in the || Num 28:5, which in P is the regular concomitant of a burnt-offering (see Num 15:1-12; and cf. Num 28:9; Num 28:12-13, &c.).

a tenth part (of an ephah)] Heb. ‘ issrn, only in P (28 times). The ephah was probably about 8 gallons, so the ‘ issrn would be about 6 pints (see further Kennedy, in DB. iv. 912 b , near the bottom).

fine flour ] Gen 18:6 and often: as the material of a meal-offering Lev 2:1; Lev 2:4-5; Lev 2:7, and elsewhere.

mingled with oil ] as v. 2, Lev 2:4-5 al. A ‘hin’ (Jos. Ant. iii. 8. 3) was 1/6 of the ‘bath’ (the equivalent for liquid measure of the ephah for dry measure, Eze 45:11) = about 1 gallon; of a hin would thus be about 2 pints. For the oil of superior quality called beaten oil, see on Exo 27:20: this is the only minh for which it is prescribed.

a drink offering ] or libation; also a frequent concomitant of the burnt-offering (Num 15:5; Num 15:7; Num 15:10; cf. Num 28:9; Num 28:14; Num 29:18; Num 29:21, &c.). According to Sir 50:15 it was poured out at the base of the altar. The amount, hin for a lamb, is the same as in Num 15:5; Num 28:14; for larger animals the amount was greater.

Verse 40. A tenth deal of flour] Deal signifies a part, from the Anglo-Saxon [Anglo-Saxon], to divide; hence [Anglo-Saxon], a part, a portion taken from the whole. From Nu 28:5 we learn that this tenth deal was the tenth part of an ephah, which constituted what is called an omer. See Ex 16:36; and See Clarke on Ex 16:16 of the same chapter, where an account is given of different measures of capacity among the Hebrews. The omer contained about three quarts English.

The fourth part of a hin] The hin contained one gallon and two pints. The fourth part of this was about one quart and a half of a pint.

Drink-offering.] A libation poured out before the Lord. See its meaning, Le 7:1, &c.

A tenth deal; the tenth part of an ephah, as is evident from Num 28:5, which is an omer, Exo 16:36.

An hin was a measure for liquid things, as the ephah was for dry things, containing six pints of our measure.

And with the one lamb a tenth deal,…. That is, the tenth part of an “ephah”, as Jarchi and Aben Ezra, which is an “omer”, and held as much as a man could eat in one day, or more, see Ex 16:18:

of flour mingled with the fourth part of an hin of beaten oil; this was a meat, or, rather bread offering, which went along with the daily sacrifice, and typified Christ the food of his people, who is compared to a corn of wheat; is the finest of the wheat, and the bread of God, which came down from heaven, and gives life, food; and nourishment to men; and the “beaten oil” may signify the graces of the Spirit in him, and the exercise of them through the many trials and sufferings he endured, and which make him savoury food to his people, as a crucified Christ is:

and the fourth part of a hin of wine for a drink offering; a “hin”, Aben Ezra says, was an Egyptian measure, but what reason he had for it does not appear; according to Ainsworth, the fourth part of it was a pint and a half; but according to Bishop Cumberland n, who has with great exactness calculated the Jewish measures, it was a quart and above half a pint; this was poured out upon the altar. Jarchi says there were two silver basins on the top of the altar, and there were bored in them like two small nostrils, and wine was put in the middle of them; and it flowed and went out by the way of the nostrils, and fell upon the top of the altar, and from thence descended to the bottom: this wine poured may either signify the blood of Christ shed, or poured out for the remission of sin; or the love of Christ very plentifully manifested in the offering up of himself for men, and the acceptableness of to God: and, moreover, as sacrifices are called the bread of God, and he makes as it were a feast of them, feeding on them with delight and pleasure, it was necessary there should be wine to complete the banquet; wherefore wine is said to cheer both God and man, Jud 9:13, alluding to the libations of wine in sacrifices.

40. A tenth deal of flour The tenth part of an ephah is probably meant, which was an omer . See Exo 16:36, note . Compare Num 5:15. Supposed to have been about three pounds in weight and not far from three quarts in measure. The hin was a liquid measure containing a little more than a gallon. The flour mingled with the beaten oil (Exo 27:20) constituted the meat offering, on which see notes at Leviticus 2, and the wine is here expressly called a drink offering. This was a form of worship old as the days of the patriarchs, (see on Gen 35:14,) and consisted in a devotional pouring out the wine as an oblation before or upon the altar of burnt offerings . It was not to be poured out on the altar of incense, (Exo 30:9. )

Were not these mingled offerings of flour and oil, intended to show the necessity of the Spirit’s graces accompanying the merits of the Redeemer, to supply all the wants of the sinner? Joh 3:5 .
