Commentary on the Whole Bible (1710)

A gospel conversation, in gratitude for Christ our passover who was sacrificed, is called the keeping of this feast ( 1 Cor. v. 8 ); for it is not enough that we purge out the leavened bread of malice and wickedness, but we must offer the bread of our God, even the sacrifice of praise, continually, and continue herein unto the end.

This site's exposition

fine flour mixed with oil

on Numbers 28:20-25

Verse 24 orders "the same food each day for seven days", so the week keeps its full measure and the daily lambs continue beneath it. A goat for sin in a week of gladness is, for Matthew Henry, confession keeping company with joy.

This site's exposition

each of the seven lambs

Each of the seven lambs receives its own tenth of an ephah, so the lambs alone take seven tenths. With the bulls and the ram, each day used an ephah and a half of flour, ten and a half ephahs for the week.
