2. my food] In primitive days in Israel (as in many other nations, e.g. Babylonians, Greeks and Romans) it was believed that the deity really ate and drank the offerings (cf. Jdg_9:13). By the time that this chapter was written, such notions had, of course, long passed away, but the ancient ritual language survived. See W. R. Smith, Rel. Sem. 2 p. 224. On the following words see note on Num_15:3.

Ye shall offer a burnt offering. Such an offering had been commanded, (Lev_23:25) but not specified. It comprised one bullock less than the new moon offering, but the reason of the difference is wholly unknown, unless it were in view of the large number of bullocks required at the feast of tabernacles.
