Commentaries on Numbers 28:2

It is possible that the daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly services had been considerably interrupted for several years, owing to the unsettled state of the people in the wilderness, and that it was necessary to repeat these…Read the comment
- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 2My offering, and my bread - Or, my offering, even my bread, etc. Offering is here קרבן qorbân (compare Leviticus 1:2; Mark 7:11), a term in itself of quite general import, but often especially applied, as apparently in this instance, to the meat-offering which accompanied the sacrifices.

My offering, and my bread--used…Read the comment
