Now that the people were numbered, orders given for the dividing of the
|
|
land, and a general of the forces nominated and commissioned, one would
|
|
have expected that the next chapter should begin the history of the
|
|
campaign, or at least should give us an account of the ordinances of
|
|
war; no, it contains the ordinances of worship, and provides that now,
|
|
as they were on the point of entering Canaan, they should be sure to
|
|
take their religion along with them, and not forget this, in the
|
|
prosecution of their wars,

3 And thou shalt say unto them, This <I>is</I> the offering made by

Here is,
|
|
|
|
I. A general order given concerning the offerings of the Lord, which
|
|
were to be brought in their season,
|
|
|
|
<A HREF="http://bible.gospelcom.net/bible?version=KJV&passage=Nu+28:2"><I>v.</I> 2</A>.
|
|
|
|
These laws are here given afresh, not because the observance of them
|
|
was wholly disused during their thirty-eight years' wandering in the
|
|
wilderness (we cannot think that they were so long without any public
|
|
worship, but that at least the daily lamb was offered morning and
|
|
evening, and doubled on the sabbath day; so bishop Patrick
|
|
conjectures); but that many of the sacrifices were then omitted is
|
|
plainly intimated,
|
|
|
|
<A HREF="http://bible.gospelcom.net/bible?version=KJV&passage=Am+5:25">Amos v. 25</A>,
|
|
|
|
quoted by Stephen,
|
|
|
|
<A HREF="http://bible.gospelcom.net/bible?version=KJV&passage=Ac+7:42">Acts vii. 42</A>.
|
|
|
|
<I>Did you offer unto me sacrifices and offerings in the wilderness
|
|
forty years, O house of Israel?</I> It is implied, "No, you did not."
|
|
But, whether the course of sacrifices had been interrupted or no, God
|
|
saw fit now to repeat the law of sacrifices,
|
|
|
|
1. Because this was a new generation of men, that were most of them
|
|
unborn when the former laws were given; therefore, that they might be
|
|
left without excuse, they have not only these laws written, to be read
|
|
to them, but again repeated from God himself, and put into a less
|
|
compass and a plainer method.
|
|
|
|
2. Because they were now entering upon war, and might be tempted to
|
|
think that while they were engaged in that they should be excused from
|
|
offering sacrifices. <I>Inter arma silent leges--law is little regarded
|
|
amidst the clash of arms.</I> No, says God, <I>my bread for my
|
|
sacrifices</I> even now <I>shall you observe to offer,</I> and that
|
|
<I>in the due season.</I> They were peculiarly concerned to keep their
|
|
peace with God when they were at war with their enemies. In the
|
|
wilderness they were solitary, and quite separate from all other
|
|
people, and therefore there they needed not so much their
|
|
distinguishing badges, nor would their omission of sacrifices be so
|
|
scandalous as when they came into Canaan, when they mingled with other
|
|
people.
|
|
|
|
3. Because possession was now to be given them of the land of promise,
|
|
that land flowing with milk and honey, where they would have plenty of
|
|
all good things. "Now" (says God), "When you are feasting yourselves,
|
|
forget not to offer the bread of your God." Canaan was given to them
|
|
upon this condition, that they should <I>observe God's statutes,</I>
|
|
|
|
<A HREF="http://bible.gospelcom.net/bible?version=KJV&passage=Ps+105:44,45">Ps. cv. 44, 45</A>.</P>
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
II. The particular law of the daily sacrifice, a lamb in the morning
|
|
and a lamb in the evening, which, for the constancy of it as duly as
|
|
the day came, is called a <I>continual burnt-offering</I>
|
|
|
|
(<A HREF="http://bible.gospelcom.net/bible?version=KJV&passage=Nu+28:3"><I>v.</I> 3</A>),
|
|
|
|
which intimates that when we are bidden to <I>pray always, and to pray
|
|
without ceasing,</I> it is intended that at least every morning and
|
|
every evening we offer up our solemn prayers and praises to God. This
|
|
is said to be <I>ordained in Mount Sinai</I>
|
|
|
|
(<A HREF="http://bible.gospelcom.net/bible?version=KJV&passage=Nu+28:6"><I>v.</I> 6</A>),
|
|
|
|
when the other laws were given. The institution of it we have,
|
|
|
|
<A HREF="http://bible.gospelcom.net/bible?version=KJV&passage=Ex+29:38">Exod. xxix. 38</A>.
|
|
|
|
Nothing is here added in the repetition of the law, but that the wine
|
|
to be poured out in the drink-offering is ordered to be <I>strong
|
|
wine</I>
|
|
|
|
(<A HREF="http://bible.gospelcom.net/bible?version=KJV&passage=Nu+28:7"><I>v.</I> 7</A>),
|
|
|
|
the riches and most generous and best-bodied wine they could get.
|
|
Though it was to be poured out upon the altar, and not drunk (they
|
|
therefore might be ready to think the worst would serve to be so thrown
|
|
away), yet God requires the strongest, to teach us to serve God with
|
|
the best we have. The wine must be strong (says Ainsworth) because it
|
|
was a figure of the blood of Christ, the memorial of which is still
|
|
left to the church in wine, and of the blood of the martyrs, which was
|
|
poured out as a drink-offering upon the <I>sacrifice and service of our
|
|
faith,</I>

The new moons and the sabbaths are often spoken of together, as great
|
|
solemnities in the Jewish church, very comfortable to the saints then,
|
|
and typical of gospel grace. Now we have here the sacrifices appointed,
|
|
|
|
1. For the sabbaths. Every sabbath day the offering must be doubled;
|
|
besides the two lambs offered for the daily burnt-offering, there must
|
|
be two more offered, one (it is probable) added to the morning
|
|
sacrifice, and the other to the evening,
|
|
|
|
<A HREF="http://bible.gospelcom.net/bible?version=KJV&passage=Nu+28:9,10"><I>v.</I> 9, 10</A>.
|
|
|
|
This teaches us to double our devotions on sabbath days, for so the
|
|
duty of the day requires. The sabbath rest is to be observed, in order
|
|
to a more close application to the sabbath work, which ought to fill up
|
|
sabbath time. In Ezekiel's temple-service, which points at gospel
|
|
times, the sabbath offerings were to be six lambs and a ram, with their
|
|
meat-offerings, and drink-offerings
|
|
|
|
(<A HREF="http://bible.gospelcom.net/bible?version=KJV&passage=Eze+46:4,5">Ezek. xlvi. 4, 5</A>),
|
|
|
|
to intimate not only the continuance, but the advancement, of sabbath
|
|
sanctification in the days of the Messiah. This is <I>the
|
|
burnt-offering of the sabbath in his sabbath,</I> so it is in the
|
|
original,
|
|
|
|
<A HREF="http://bible.gospelcom.net/bible?version=KJV&passage=Nu+28:10"><I>v.</I> 10</A>.
|
|
|
|
We must do every sabbath day's work in its day, studying to redeem
|
|
every minute of sabbath time as those that believe it precious; and not
|
|
thinking to put off one sabbath's work to another, for sufficient to
|
|
every sabbath is the service thereof.
|
|
|
|
2. For the new moons. Some suggest that, as the sabbath was kept with
|
|
an eye to the creation of the world, so the new moons were sanctified
|
|
with an eye to the divine providence, which <I>appoints the moon for
|
|
seasons,</I> guiding the revolutions of time by its changes, and
|
|
governing sublunary bodies (as many think) by its influences. Though we
|
|
observe not any feast of new moons, yet we must not forget to give God
|
|
the glory of all the precious things put forth by the moon which he has
|
|
<I>established for ever, a faithful witness in heaven,</I>
|
|
|
|
<A HREF="http://bible.gospelcom.net/bible?version=KJV&passage=Ps+89:37">Ps. lxxxix. 37</A>.
|
|
|
|
The offerings in the new moons were very considerable, two bullocks, a
|
|
ram, and seven lambs, with the meat-offerings and drink-offerings that
|
|
were to attend them
|
|
|
|
(<A HREF="http://bible.gospelcom.net/bible?version=KJV&passage=Nu+28:11-15"><I>v.</I> 11</A>,
|
|
|
|
&c.), besides a sin-offering,
|
|
|
|
<A HREF="http://bible.gospelcom.net/bible?version=KJV&passage=Nu+28:15"><I>v.</I> 15</A>.
|
|
|
|
For, when we give glory to God by confessing his mercies, we must give
|
|
glory to him likewise by confessing our own sins; and, when we rejoice
|
|
in the gifts of common providence, we must make the sacrifice of
|
|
Christ, that great gift of special grace, the fountain and spring-head
|
|
of our joy. Some have questioned whether the new moons were to be
|
|
reckoned among their feasts; but why should they not, when, besides the
|
|
special sacrifices which were then to be offered, they rested from
|
|
servile works
|
|
|
|
(<A HREF="http://bible.gospelcom.net/bible?version=KJV&passage=Am+8:5">Amos viii. 5</A>),
|
|
|
|
<I>blew the trumpets</I>
|
|
|
|
(<A HREF="http://bible.gospelcom.net/bible?version=KJV&passage=Nu+10:10"><I>ch.</I> x. 10</A>),
|
|
|
|
and went to the prophets <I>to hear the word?</I>
|
|
|
|
<A HREF="http://bible.gospelcom.net/bible?version=KJV&passage=2Ki+4:23">2 Kings iv. 23</A>.
|
|
|
|
And the worship performed in the new moons is made typical of gospel
|
|
solemnities,
|
|
|
|

Here is,
|
|
|
|
I. The appointment of the pass-over sacrifices; not that which was the
|
|
chief, the paschal lamb (sufficient instructions had formerly been
|
|
given concerning that), but those which were to be offered upon the
|
|
seven days of unleavened bread, which followed it,
|
|
|
|
<A HREF="http://bible.gospelcom.net/bible?version=KJV&passage=Nu+28:17-25"><I>v.</I> 17-25</A>.
|
|
|
|
The first and last of those seven days were to be sanctified as
|
|
sabbaths, by a holy rest and a holy convocation, and on each of the

seven days they were to be liberal in their sacrifices, in token of
|
|
their great and constant thankfulness for their deliverance out of
|
|
Egypt: <I>Two bullocks, a ram, and seven lambs.</I> A gospel
|
|
conversation, in gratitude for <I>Christ our passover</I> who was
|
|
sacrificed, is called the <I>keeping of this feast</I>
|
|
|
|
(<A HREF="http://bible.gospelcom.net/bible?version=KJV&passage=1Co+5:8">1 Cor. v. 8</A>);
|
|
|
|
for it is not enough that we purge out the <I>leavened bread</I> of
|
|
malice and wickedness, but we must <I>offer the bread of our God, even
|
|
the sacrifice of praise, continually,</I> and continue herein unto the
|
|
end.
|
|
|
|
2. The sacrifices are likewise appointed which were to be offered at
|
|
the feast of pentecost, here called the <I>day of the first-fruits,</I>
|
|
|
|
<A HREF="http://bible.gospelcom.net/bible?version=KJV&passage=Nu+28:26"><I>v.</I> 26</A>.
|
|
|
|
In the feast of unleavened bread they offered a <I>sheaf of their
|
|
first-fruits</I> of barley (which with them was first ripe) to the
|
|
priest
|
|
|
|
(<A HREF="http://bible.gospelcom.net/bible?version=KJV&passage=Le+23:10">Lev. xxiii. 10</A>),
|
|
|
|
as an introduction to the harvest; but now, about seven weeks after,
|
|
they were to bring a <I>new meat-offering to the Lord,</I> at the end
|
|
of harvest, in thankfulness to God, who had not only given, <I>but
|
|
preserved to their use, the kindly fruits of the earth, so as that in
|
|
due time they did enjoy them.</I> It was at this feast that <I>the
|
|
Spirit was poured out</I>
|
|
|
|
(<A HREF="http://bible.gospelcom.net/bible?version=KJV&passage=Ac+2:1-13">Acts ii. 1</A>,
|
|
|
|
&c.), and thousands were converted by the preaching of the apostles,
|
|
and were presented to Christ, to be <I>a kind of first-fruits of his
|
|
creatures.</I> The sacrifice that was to be offered with the loaves of
|
|
the first-fruits was appointed,
|
|
|
|
<A HREF="http://bible.gospelcom.net/bible?version=KJV&passage=Le+23:18">Lev. xxiii. 18</A>.
|
|
|
|
But over and above, besides that and besides the daily offerings, they
|
|
were to offer <I>two bullocks, one ram, and seven lambs, with a kid for
|
|
a sin-offering,</I>
|
|
|
|
<A HREF="http://bible.gospelcom.net/bible?version=KJV&passage=Nu+28:27-30"><I>v.</I> 27-30</A>.
|
|
|
|
When God sows plentifully upon us he expects to reap accordingly from
|
|
us. Bishop Patrick observes that no <I>peace-offerings</I> are
|
|
appointed in this chapter, which were chiefly for the benefit of the
|
|
offerers, and therefore in them they were left more to themselves; but
|
|
<I>burnt-offerings</I> were purely for the honour of God, were
|
|
confessions of his dominion, and typified evangelical piety and
|
|
devotion, by which the soul is wholly offered up to God in the flames
|
|
of holy love; and <I>sin-offerings</I> were typical of Christ's
|
|
sacrifice of himself, <I>by which we and our services are perfected and
|
|
sanctified.</I></P>
