Verses 16-25 focus on the Feast of Unleavened Bread, which begins the day after Passover (Exodus 12:14-20; Leviticus 23:6-8). Verse 24 sits in the middle of that section and details the daily sacrificial pattern for the festival. “Offer the same food each day for seven days” • The identical offering is repeated each of the seven days of Unleavened Bread (cf. Leviticus 23:8; Numbers 29:12-38). • Constancy teaches that worship is not a one-time event but a steady, daily devotion. • Seven days symbolize completeness (Genesis 2:2-3); Israel’s full week of offerings highlights total consecration at the start of their religious year. “as a food offering” • A “food offering” (also called “grain offering,” v. 23) consisted of fine flour mixed with oil, often with incense and salt (Leviticus 2:1-13). • The produce of the land is returned to the Lord who provided it (Deuteronomy 8:10-18). • This offering accompanied the burnt offering, signifying that everyday work and sustenance belong to God (Colossians 3:17). “a pleasing aroma to the LORD” • Repeated phrase throughout sacrificial law (Genesis 8:21; Leviticus 1:9; Ephesians 5:2). • Indicates God’s acceptance when the offering is given in obedience and faith. • Ultimately points to Christ, whose sacrifice is “a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God” (Ephesians 5:2). “It is to be offered with its drink offering” • The drink offering (wine poured out, Exodus 29:40; Numbers 15:5-10) publicly acknowledges God’s blessing of fruitfulness (Psalm 104:14-15). • Pouring wine on the altar emphasized total surrender—nothing held back. Paul applies that image to his life of service (Philippians 2:17; 2 Timothy 4:6). “and the regular burnt offering” • Morning and evening burnt offerings never stopped (Numbers 28:3-8; Exodus 29:38-42). • Festival sacrifices did not replace the daily burnt offering; they were added to it, teaching that special moments of worship build on a constant foundation. • The ceaseless burnt offering foreshadows Christ’s continual intercession (Hebrews 7:25). Practical takeaways • Consistent worship—daily recognition of God’s sovereignty—grounds special celebrations. • God desires wholehearted dedication of both work (grain) and joy (wine). • Obedience brings a “pleasing aroma,” not because of the act itself, but because it reflects faith in the Lord’s provision and redemption (Romans 12:1; Hebrews 11:4). • The passage ultimately points to Jesus, the once-for-all sacrifice who fulfills every offering (Hebrews 10:10; 1 Corinthians 5:7). summary Numbers 28:24 commands Israel to present the same grain, drink, and burnt offerings each of the seven days of Unleavened Bread. The repetition stresses sustained devotion; the food and drink offerings surrender daily provision and joy; the “pleasing aroma” assures God’s acceptance; and inclusion of the regular burnt offering shows that special worship never cancels daily faithfulness. The verse calls believers to steady, comprehensive dedication that finds its perfect fulfillment in Christ’s fragrant, complete sacrifice.
