Numbers 29:10

Study note

Setting — Moses relays divine instructions to Israel regarding the grain portion for the seven lambs during the appointed feast offerings.

The words — עִשָּׂרוֹן ('i.sa.ron) denotes "a tenth," and לַכֶּבֶשׂ הָאֶחָד (la.keves ha'echad) translates to "for each lamb." The text explicitly assigns this fixed measure to every one of the seven lambs.

The thread — Numbers 29:10 continues the verse-by-verse breakdown of proportional grain offerings for the festival's burnt offerings. This structural pattern of graduated measures for specific animals runs throughout the Numbers 29 sacrificial calendar.

Why it lands — The text requires precise measurement and consistent allocation for each animal in the sacrificial sequence, establishing a standardized ritual protocol.

Drafted by a language model from the text, its original words and its cross-references, then checked against them. It can still be wrong: open the verse in the app to report it.
