Command the children of Israel, and say unto them, My offering, and my bread for my sacrifices made by fire, for a sweet savour unto me, shall ye observe to offer unto me in their due season.
Give this command to the people of Israel: 'You must be careful to bring me my offerings and food sacrifices that are burned as a pleasing aroma to me at the right times.'
God is telling Moses to remind the Israelites that they must faithfully bring their required offerings and sacrifices to Him at the appointed times.
📚 Historical Context
This command was given during Israel's wilderness wandering, as God was establishing the regular system of sacrifices and offerings that would continue once they entered the Promised Land. The sacrificial system was central to Israel's worship and relationship with God, providing a way for the people to maintain fellowship with Him and seek forgiveness for their sins.
