Study note

Setting — God instructs Moses regarding the prescribed monthly sacrifices to be offered at the new moon.

The words — עִשָּׂרֹן ('i.sa.Ron) translates literally as a tenth [of an ephah], and מִנְחָה (min.Chah) denotes a grain offering.

The thread — This verse specifies the grain portion for the lamb, while Numbers 28:12 details the larger quantities for the bull and ram, and Numbers 28:14 completes the ritual with the corresponding drink offerings.

Why it lands — The text demands exact measurement and specific preparation of ritual components before the offering is presented.
