Contextual Overview

1 And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying, 2 Speak to the sons of Israel and say to them, When you have come to the land of your dwellings, which I am giving to you, 3 then you shall prepare a fire offering to Jehovah, a burnt offering, or a sacrifice, in fulfillment of a vow, or as a freewill offering, or in your appointed seasons, to make a soothing fragrance to Jehovah, out of the herd, or out of the flock. 4 And he who is bringing his offering to Jehovah shall bring near a food offering of flour, a tenth part, mixed with a fourth of a hin of oil; 5 and wine for a drink offering, a fourth of a hin you shall prepare for the burnt offering, or for a sacrifice, for the one lamb. 6 Or you shall prepare a food offering of flour for a ram, two tenth parts mixed with oil, a third of a hin; 7 and wine for a drink offering, a third part of a hin. You shall bring it near, a soothing fragrance to Jehovah. 8 And when you prepare a son of the herd for a burnt offering, or for a sacrifice, in fulfillment of a vow, or peace offerings to Jehovah, 9 then he shall bring near for the son of the herd a food offering of flour, three tenth parts, mixed with oil, a half of a hin; 10 and you shall bring wine near for a drink offering, a half of a hin, as a fire offering of soothing fragrance to Jehovah.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

One law, and one manner,.... One law respecting these sacrifices, and one manner of offering them; one and the same precept to be observed, and one and the same judgment or punishment inflicted in case of non-observance:

shall be for you, and the stranger that sojourneth with you; for Israelites and proselytes; which is said to invite and encourage the latter, and may have a distant view to the calling of the Gentiles in Gospel times, when there should be no difference between Jews and Gentiles called by grace in matters of religion, but would be one in Christ, Galatians 3:28.
