1 Now the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
2 “Command the children of Israel, and say to them, ‘My offering, aMy food for My offerings made by fire as a sweet aroma to Me, you shall be careful to offer to Me at their appointed time.’  
3 “And you shall say to them, a‘This is the offering made by fire which you shall offer to the Lord: two male lambs in their first year without blemish, day by day, as a regular burnt offering.  
4 The one lamb you shall offer in the morning, the other lamb you shall offer in the evening,
5 and aone-tenth of an ephah of fine flour as a bgrain offering mixed with one-fourth of a hin of pressed oil.  
6 It is aa regular burnt offering which was ordained at Mount Sinai for a sweet aroma, an offering made by fire to the Lord.  
7 And its drink offering shall be one-fourth of a hin for each lamb; ain a holy place you shall pour out the drink to the Lord as an offering.

Introduction to Numbers

The title commonly given to this book is evidently suggested by the two numberings of the people recorded in Num. 1 and Num. 26.

The book narrates the history of the Israelites during their sojourn in the wilderness from the completion of the law-giving at Sinai, Leviticus 27:34, to their mustering in the plains of Moab for actual entry into the land of promise.

The incidents are generally given in their chronological order, except in the third part. The five chapters comprised in this part appear to deal with a long period, from which only isolated episodes are given; and of these the dates can only be conjectured.

Between the two dates "the first day of the second month of the second year after they were come out of Egypt" Numbers 1:1, and the death of Aaron Numbers 33:38, intervene no less than 38 years and 3 months (compare Deuteronomy 2:14), the long and dreary period of tarrying in the wilderness until the disobedient generation had wasted away.

From the death of Aaron to the date given in the opening verses of Deuteronomy Deuteronomy 1:1-3, occurred a space of exactly six months, in which all the events narrated in the fourth part of the Book of Numbers, from Numbers 20:1 to the end, would seem to have occurred, with the probable exception of the defeat of the king of Arad Numbers 21:1-3.

As regards the authorship and date of composition, the notes of time, the tenor of the contents, no less than the direct assertions of the text itself, lead to the conclusion that Moses is properly spoken of as the writer of the Book of Numbers. It is in substance his work; though many portions of it were probably committed to writing many years before the whole was completed; and the concluding chapters were not written until toward the close of the 40th year after the exodus.
