28:8 And the second lamb you must offer in the late afternoon; just as you offered the grain offering and drink offering in the morning, ³  you must offer it as an offering made by fire, as a pleasing aroma to the Lord.

Bilangan 31:54

31:54 So Moses and Eleazar the priest received the gold from the commanders of thousands and commanders ⁴  of hundreds and brought it into the tent of meeting as a memorial ⁵  for the Israelites before the Lord.

[19:21]  ¹ tn The form has the conjunction with it: וּמַזֵּה (umazzeh). The conjunction subordinates the following as the special law. It could literally be translated “and this shall be…that the one who sprinkles.”

[19:21]  ² sn This gives the indication of the weight of the matter, for “until the evening” is the shortest period of ritual uncleanness in the Law. The problem of contamination had to be taken seriously, but this was a relatively simple matter to deal with – if one were willing to obey the Law.

[28:8]  ³ tn Heb “as the grain offering of the morning and as its drink offering.”

[31:54]  ⁴ tn The Hebrew text does not repeat the word “commanders” here, but it is implied.

[31:54]  ⁵ tn The purpose of the offering was to remind the Lord to remember Israel. But it would also be an encouragement for Israel as they remembered the great victory.
