Numbers 18:19

Numbers 28:14
Context28:14 For their drink offerings, include 3 half a hin of wine with each bull, one-third of a hin for the ram, and one-fourth of a hin for each lamb. This is the burnt offering for each month 4 throughout the months of the year.
1 tn Heb “from the fire.” It probably refers to those parts that were not burned.
2 sn Salt was used in all the offerings; its importance as a preservative made it a natural symbol for the covenant which was established by sacrifice. Even general agreements were attested by sacrifice, and the phrase “covenant of salt” speaks of such agreements as binding and irrevocable. Note the expression in Ezra 4:14, “we have been salted with the salt of the palace.” See further J. F. Ross, IDB 4:167.
3 tn The word “include” is not in the Hebrew text but is implied. It is supplied in the translation to make a complete English sentence.
4 tn Heb “a month in its month.”
