An aroma pleasing to the Lord

Numbers 15:1-16

You present to the Lord food offerings from the herd or the flock, as an aroma pleasing to the Lord—whether burnt offerings or sacrifices, for special vows or freewill offerings or festival offerings— then the person who brings an offering shall present to the Lord a grain offering of a tenth of an ephah of the finest flour mixed with a quarter of a hin of olive oil. With each lamb for the burnt offering or the sacrifice, prepare a quarter of a hin of wine as a drink offering.

With a ram prepare a grain offering of two-tenths of an ephah of the finest flour mixed with a third of a hin of olive oil, and a third of a hin of wine as a drink offering. Offer it as an aroma pleasing to the Lord.

When you prepare a young bull as a burnt offering or sacrifice, for a special vow or a fellowship offering to the Lord, bring with the bull a grain offering of three-tenths of an ephah of the finest flour mixed with half a hin of olive oil, and also bring half a hin of wine as a drink offering

The community is to have the same rules for you and for the foreigner residing among you; this is a lasting ordinance for the generations to come. You and the foreigner shall be the same before the Lord: The same laws and regulations will apply both to you and to the foreigner residing among you.

Why?

An aroma pleasing to the Lord is God pleased.

All of these offerings with the flock, ram, lamb, or bull are with different grains of olive oil and wine.

All these regulations are for the burnt offering and drink offering.

在記載事件後就會記載律法規條,教導獻祭的事。

人的問題最大是後悔跟隨主,這比道德的罪更嚴重。人會出問題,因為生命沒有建立起來。神藉著會幕把通到神面前的路建造起來,因此我們受洗後,生命需要建造、成長。

你們到了我所應許的地方,要....雖然神要他們再回到曠野,40年,是否永遠不會到應許之地?表示這事必定會成就,應許是不會改變的。

燔祭、平安祭和素祭,前兩者都是獻動物,後者是穀物。

奉獻燔祭代表全然的委身,沒有自己,不再以自我為中心,獻平安祭為了感恩,感恩的人不會驕傲,生活中每件事都心存感恩。這兩者都是為之前的事做彌補的事。同獻的素祭:油和酒,這是生活的奉獻,把工作成果獻上,不管做什麼都是為主做的。奉獻時我們每天的生活、工作也當作在為主而做的奉獻!

How?

Worshiping the Lord or devoting something to the Lord needs to follow the regulation of the Lord declared.
