John Gill's Bible Commentary Ver. 9. And on the sabbath day two lambs of the first year without spot , etc.] Just such as were appointed for the daily sacrifice: and two tenth deals of flour for a meat offering, mingled with oil ; that is, two tenth parts of an ephah of flour mixed with two fourth parts of an hin of oil; of oil olive, as the Targum of Jonathan expresses it, which is always meant, wherever oil is mentioned; which made one meat offering to them doubled for both lambs, or two meat offerings of the same quantity with those of the daily sacrifice, one for one lamb, and the other for the other: and the drink offering thereof : which was of a like quantity of wine doubled, in proportion to the meat offering; when these lambs, with the meat and drink offerings, were offered up, is not said, whether the one in the morning after, and the other in the evening before the daily sacrifice, which is not improbable, or both together.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 9-15 - Every sabbath day, beside the two lambs offered for the dail burnt-offering, there must be two more offered. This teaches us to double our devotions on sabbath days, for so the duty of the da requires. The sabbath rest is to be observed, in order more closely to apply ourselves to the sabbath work, which ought to fill up the sabbat time. The offerings in the new moons showed thankfulness for the renewing of earthly blessings: when we rejoice in the gifts of providence, we must make the sacrifice of Christ, that great gift of special grace, the fountain and spring-head of our joy. And the worshi performed in the new moons is made typical of gospel solemnities, Is 66:23. As the moon borrows light from the sun, and is renewed by it influences; so the church borrows her light from Jesus Christ, who is the Sun of righteousness, renewing the state of the church, especiall under the gospel. (Nu 28:16-31)
