What does "Numbers 29:15" mean?
Numbers 29:15 is part of a larger passage in the Torah (the first five books of the Hebrew Bible) that outlines the offerings required for the Feast of Tabernacles (Sukkot). Let's break down what it means:
"and one tenth": This refers to a tenth of an ephah of fine flour mixed with oil, as mentioned in the preceding verses and in similar sacrificial contexts. This flour offering is called a minchah.
"for every lamb of the fourteen lambs": During the Feast of Tabernacles, specific animal sacrifices were prescribed for each day of the festival. On the third day (Numbers 29:15's context), fourteen male lambs, one bull, and two rams (all a year old) were to be offered as burnt offerings.
So, the verse means that in addition to the other sacrifices (the bull, rams, and lambs), a tenth of an ephah of fine flour mixed with oil was to be offered alongside each of the fourteen lambs. Each lamb had a corresponding minchah offering of flour mixed with oil.
In short: For each of the fourteen lambs sacrificed on the third day of Sukkot, a specific amount of fine flour (one tenth of an ephah) mixed with oil was to be offered as a grain offering (minchah) alongside the lamb as a burnt offering.
