Exegetical and Hermeneutical Commentary of Numbers 28:27
But ye shall offer the burnt offering for a sweet savor unto the LORD; two young bullocks, one ram, seven lambs of the first year;
The burnt-offering, for the celebration of the feast, over and besides that other offering which was joined with the first-fruits, Lev 23:18; so here is a new additional sacrifice prescribed, which doth not destroy the former.

Ver. 27-30. But ye shall offer the burnt offering for a sweet savour unto the Lord,…. Which was of the same kind, and was of the same number of creatures as on the first day of the month, and on the seven days of unleavened bread, Nu 28:11, and the meat offering which went along with this was of the same quantity of flour to each creature as in the above mentioned sacrifices; and on this day also was offered a kid of the goats for a sin offering; and there were also peace offerings which are not mentioned here, nor is there any mention of any in the whole chapter; see Le 23:19.

(27) Two young bullocks, one ram, seven lambs of the first year.In Lev. 23:18 the animal sacrifices enjoined are one young bullock, two rams, and seven lambs without blemish. The Mishnah (Menach. iv. 2) considers that these animals were to be presented together with the loaves, whereas those named in Numbers were additional sacrifices of the day. Josephus also thinks that three bullocks, two [three] rams, and fourteen sheep were offered at this time (Antt. iii. 10, 6).

27-31. Two bullocks These. the ram, and seven lambs were in addition to the one bullock, two rams, and seven lambs offered with the firstfruits, (Lev 23:18, note,) and besides the daily sacrifice or continual burnt offering. The parenthesis in Num 28:31 seems to apply to the meat offering, which was to be without blemish, or perfect.
Drink offerings That is, “strong wine, (Num 28:7,) not dead, sour, mixed with dregs or lees, or otherwise corrupted.” Ainsworth.

Num 28:27. Two young bullocks, &c. The reader may observe, that here are two bullocks, one ram, and seven lambs, required to be offered at this feast of Pentecost, or weeks; whereas in Lev 23:18 only one bullock, and two rams, and seven lambs are required; which difference is thus reconciled; these sacrifices, here specified, of two bullocks, a ram, and seven lambs, with their meat and drink-offerings, together with a kid of atonement, being precisely the same which are above prescribed upon the monthly festivals, and on the days of unleavened bread, are thought to be additional sacrifices, over and above those, which were before appointed to be offered with the two loaves of bread in Lev 23:17-18. It is observable, says Bishop Patrick, that there is not so much as one peace-offering ordered in all this chapter, which was a sort of sacrifice most for the benefit of those who brought them to the altar; but all burnt-offerings, (except a few sin-offerings) which were wholly for the honour of God, and in acknowledgment of his sovereign dominion over them, and of the duty they owed him. And as the sin-offerings were shadows of that great sacrifice of God’s own Son, which was one day to be offered for the sins of men, out of his infinite love to them; so the whole burnt-offerings, which were always of the most perfect creatures, the finest flour, the choicest fruits of the earth, and the best liquor, were shadows of that excellent degree of piety which the Son of God intended to bring into the world, which would move men, out of love to God, to give themselves wholly up to him, and to devote all they had, even their own lives, to his service.

two young: Num 28:11, Num 28:19, Lev 23:18, Lev 23:19, bishop Patrick observes that no peace offerings are appointed in this chapter, which were chiefly for the benefit of the offerers, and therefore in them they were left more to themselves; but burnt offerings, which were purely for the honour of God, and confessions of his dominion, and which figured evangelical piety and devotion, by which the soul is wholly offered up to God, in the flames of holy love; and sin offerings, which were typical of Christ’s sacrifice of himself, by which we and our services are perfected and sanctified.
