Numbers 28:1
英文原文
The daily offering had been already commanded Exodus 29:38, and no doubt additional offerings had become customary on festivals. But no such elaborate system as is here prescribed was or could possibly have been observed in the wilderness: compare Deuteronomy 12:8-9. The regulations of this and the next chapter therefore point to the immediate prospect of that settlement in Canaan which alone could enable the Israelites to obey them. Compare the ordinances in Numbers 15.

Numbers 28:2
「我的供物、我的食物……」——或譯「我的供物,就是我的食物」等。這裡的「供物」是希伯來文 קרבן qorbân(參 Leviticus 1:2;Mark 7:11),此詞本身含義極為寬泛,但常特別用來指隨同祭牲一起獻上的素祭,本節顯然亦是如此。這素祭就其本質而言,乃是與以色列人在迦南的生活相連,而非與他們在曠野的生活相連;它被附加於動物祭牲之上,作為一種記號,表明百姓不但要把自己的身體,也要把自己的財產與勞碌所得的果實奉獻給神。見 Numbers 15:2 註釋及 Leviticus 21:6。
英文原文
My offering, and my bread ... - Or, my offering, even my bread, etc. Offering is here קרבן qorbân (compare Leviticus 1:2; Mark 7:11), a term in itself of quite general import, but often especially applied, as apparently in this instance, to the meat-offering which accompanied the sacrifices. This meat-offering connected itself, from its very nature, with the life of the Israelites in Canaan, not with their life in the wilderness; and it was annexed to the animal sacrifices as a token that the people must dedicate to God their property and the fruits of their labor as well as their own persons. See Numbers 15:2 note and Leviticus 21:6.

Numbers 28:7
「醇酒」一詞的原文 שׁכר shêkār,通常是用來描述葡萄酒以外之烈酒的用語(見 Leviticus 10:9 的註釋)。在曠野的以色列人因缺乏葡萄酒,便以大麥釀成的示卡酒代替。這樣,他們雖沒有拘守規例的字句,卻遵守了其中的精意。奠祭或是澆在祭壇的四圍,或是澆在壇上——因而流在遮蓋祭壇之祭肉的上面(對照 Exodus 30:9)。
英文原文
The original of the word "strong wine" שׁכר shêkār is a term usually employed to describe strong drink other than wine (Leviticus 10:9 note). The Israelites in the wilderness had, in their lack of wine, substituted shechar made from barley for it. They had thus observed the spirit, though not the letter of the ordinance. The drink-offering was either poured round the foot of the altar; or on the altar, and so upon the flesh of the sacrifice by which the altar was covered (compare Exodus 30:9).

Numbers 28:9
安息日的祭物是先前未曾吩咐過的,由兩隻羊羔組成,並連同應配的供物,在每日常獻的燔祭以外獻上。
英文原文
The Sabbath-offering, not previously enjoined, consisted of two lambs, properly accompanied, in addition to the regular daily offering.
11
Numbers 28:11
每月朔的祭物也是在這裏首次受到吩咐。山羊作為贖罪祭,雖然列在末後提及,實際上卻似乎是先獻上的(可比較 Exodus 29;Leviticus 5、8、9、14、16 的先例)。那在 Numbers 15:22-26 中為會眾不知情的情況下誤犯之罪所設想的贖罪祭,從此不再是只在情況似乎需要時酌情獻上,而是要定期重複獻上,頻率不少於每月一次。
英文原文
The New-moon offering is here also commanded for the first time. The goat as a sin-offering, though mentioned last, would seem in fact to have been offered first (compare the precedents in Exodus 29; Leviticus 5; 8; 9; 14; 16). The sin-offering, which Numbers 15:22-26 had been contemplated in cases where a sin had been committed ignorantly without the knowledge of the congregation, was henceforth not to be offered merely at discretion, as circumstances might seem to require, but to be regularly repeated, not less frequently than once a month.
16
Numbers 28:16
逾越節的祭物與月朔之祭相同,並在節期的七日裏每日重複獻上,藉此標明這場合的重要性與莊嚴。這祭物的細節在此之前從未明文規定。
英文原文
The Passover offering was the same as that of the New moon, and was repeated on each of the seven days of the festival, thus marking the importance and the solemnity of the occasion. The details of the offering had not been previously prescribed.
26
Numbers 28:26
初熟節期所獻的節期祭物,只在一日之內獻上;它與月朔和逾越節的祭物相同。這祭與 Leviticus 23:18 以下所規定的祭牲幾乎一致,卻不完全相同。
英文原文
The festival offering at the season of first-fruits was to be offered on one day only; and was the same with that of the new moon and Passover. It nearly though not entirely accords with the sacrificial offering prescribed in Leviticus 23:18 ff.
每日獻的祭早已有命令(Exodus 29:38),而在節期加獻祭物無疑也已成為慣例。然而,像這裡所規定的這樣周詳的制度,在曠野中既未曾遵行,也不可能遵行(參 Deuteronomy 12:8-9)。因此,本章與下一章的規定,指向即將在迦南定居的前景——惟有定居迦南,以色列人才能遵行這些規定。參 Numbers 15 中的條例。
