And their drink offerings shall be half an hin of wine unto a bullock, and the third part of an hin unto a ram, and a fourth part of an hin unto a lamb: this is the burnt offering of every month throughout the months of the year.
The drink offerings that go with these sacrifices should be half a hin of wine for each bull, one-third of a hin for each ram, and one-fourth of a hin for each lamb. This is the burnt offering that must be made every month throughout the year.
God is giving specific instructions about the exact amounts of wine to be offered alongside the monthly animal sacrifices throughout the year.
📚 Historical Context
This verse is part of God's detailed instructions to Moses about the regular sacrificial system for Israel. A hin was a Hebrew unit of liquid measure (about 1.5 gallons), so these were substantial wine offerings accompanying the monthly burnt offerings. These monthly sacrifices were separate from the daily offerings and were meant to consecrate each new month to God.
