The daily offering had been already commanded Exo 29:38, and no doubt additional offerings had become customary on festivals. But no such elaborate system as is here prescribed was or could possibly have been observed in the wilderness: compare Deu 12:8-9. The regulations of this and the next chapter therefore point to the immediate prospect of that settlement in Canaan which alone could enable the Israelites to obey them. Compare the ordinances in Num. 15.
This site's exposition
Then the LORD said to Moses
on Numbers 28:1-2
Barnes reads these harvest offerings as pointing to the settled land, since Deuteronomy 12:9 says "you have not yet come to the resting place". Psalm 50:12 answers "the food for My offerings" from God's side: "If I were hungry, I would not tell you".
