28:7 “‘And its drink offering must be one quarter of a hin for each lamb. 1 You must pour out the strong drink 2 as a drink offering to the Lord in the holy place. 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.
1 tn Heb “the one lamb,” but it is meant to indicate for “each lamb.”
2 tn The word שֵׁכָר (shekhar) is often translated “strong drink.” It can mean “barley beer” in the Akkadian cognate, and also in the Hebrew Bible when joined with the word for wine. English versions here read “wine” (NAB, TEV, CEV); “strong wine” (KJV); “fermented drink” (NIV, NLT); “strong drink” (ASV, NASB, NRSV).
3 tn Heb “as the grain offering of the morning and as its drink offering.”
