What Does Numbers 15:9 Mean?
The grain portion triples in measure for the bullock compared to the lamb, and increases by one-and-a-half times compared to the ram. This proportional scaling shows that as offerings grow in significance, the accompanying grain grows correspondingly.
The half-hin of oil for the bullock is the largest amount yet, signifying the richness and completeness of worship when the greatest animal is presented. Nothing less matches the value of such a sacrifice.
