Commentary for Numbers 29:9

1. Themes:
- Sacrifice and Atonement: The verse pertains to the grain offerings that accompany the burnt offerings of bullocks and rams during the Feast of Tabernacles (Sukkot), emphasizing the importance of sacrificial rituals in Israelite worship.
- Precision in Worship: The specific measurements for the flour and oil indicate the meticulous nature of the offerings, highlighting the necessity of following divine instructions in worship.
- Fellowship with God: The grain offerings, when combined with the burnt offerings, signify a complete act of worship, including both the animal sacrifices and the meal offering, symbolizing full communion with God.

2. Historical Context:
- The verse is set within the context of the Israelites' journey in the wilderness, as they receive detailed instructions from God through Moses regarding the observance of Sukkot, one of the three pilgrimage festivals.
- Sukkot commemorates the protection and provision God gave the Israelites during their 40 years in the wilderness and celebrates the final harvest of the agricultural year.
- The instructions for the offerings would have been given around the time of the establishment of the Tabernacle, which served as the center of worship for the Israelites before the construction of the Temple in Jerusalem.
- The precise amounts of flour and oil mixed together for the grain offering reflect the economic system of the time, where such commodities were valuable and used as standard measures for trade and religious dues.

In summary, Numbers 29:9 deals with the detailed prescriptions for the grain offerings during Sukkot, underscoring the themes of sacrificial worship, adherence to divine instruction, and the historical celebration of God's provision and protection during the wilderness period.
