We are stopping there, but this is just the offerings for the first day, right? You could read on and read all the way through day eight here. The required burnt offerings for the Feast of Tabernacles were more than double any other time of year. God is trying to get us focused, brethren, on the one thing. That is why we are here.
We are here to learn how to sacrifice.
Now, the burnt offering of a life always came first. Jesus Christ was completely devoted in service to God, and likewise, we must sacrifice our complete life in service and devotion to God. This always has to come first. But right after that burnt offering, we see the instruction on the corresponding grain offering.
And if you notice the verbiage there in Numbers 29, it says with each burnt offering, their grain offering or its grain offering. It is saying the two had to be together to be complete. You could not just have the burnt offering, you had to have the burnt offering with its grain offering. The meal for God is what this represents, the meal for God was not complete with just meat. He was not on the Atkins Diet. God's sacrificial meal required meat, grain, and drink.
Immediately following the burnt offering was the grain offering, which demonstrated the two cannot be separated. They had to go hand-in-hand.
