Commentary
In Numbers 15, the Lord instructs Moses to give the Israelites instructions regarding offerings and sacrifices. He begins by instructing them to offer a burnt offering, a grain offering, and a peace offering. He then goes on to explain the different types of offerings that can be made, including the sin offering, the guilt offering, and the wave offering. He also explains the importance of the tassels on the garments of the Israelites, which were to remind them of the Lord's commandments.
