Numbers 28:15 Summary
This verse, Numbers 28:15, tells us that in addition to the regular burnt offering, the Israelites were to present a male goat as a sin offering to God. This sin offering was a way to atone for the people's sins and to cleanse them from their wrongdoing, as seen in Leviticus 4:1-5:13. Just like the Israelites needed to make sacrifices to God, we need to recognize our own sin and seek forgiveness through Jesus Christ, who is our ultimate sacrifice (John 1:29, Romans 3:25). By understanding the concept of substitutionary atonement, we can deepen our appreciation for God's love and redemption in our lives.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the purpose of the sin offering mentioned in Numbers 28:15?
The sin offering was to atone for the sins of the people, as seen in Leviticus 4:1-5:13, and was a vital part of the Israelites' worship and relationship with God, as mentioned in Exodus 29:36 and Hebrews 9:22.
How does this sin offering relate to the regular burnt offering?

What can we learn from the requirement of a male goat for the sin offering?
The use of a male goat for the sin offering, as mentioned in Numbers 28:15, highlights the importance of substitutionary atonement, where an innocent animal would bear the penalty for the people's sins, foreshadowing the ultimate sacrifice of Jesus Christ, as seen in John 1:29 and Romans 3:25.
How does this verse relate to the larger context of Numbers 28?
Numbers 28:15 is part of a larger discussion on the monthly burnt offerings and festivals, such as the Passover in Numbers 28:16, and emphasizes the importance of regular worship and atonement in the Israelites' relationship with God, as seen in Exodus 23:14-17 and Deuteronomy 16:1-17.
Reflection Questions

Cambridge Bible on Numbers 28:15
Chapters 28, 29. P The amounts of public offerings at the sacred seasons The following are the seasons for which offerings are enjoined:—(1) every morning and evening (Numbers 28:3-8), (2) the Sabbath (Numbers 28:9 f.), (3) the first day of each month (Numbers 28:11-15) [the Passover is mentioned Numbers 28:16), but no offering is commanded], (4) the seven days of Unleavened Cakes (Numbers 28:17-25), (5) the Feast of Weeks (Numbers 28:26-31), (6) the first day of the sacred seventh month, i.e. the Feast of Trumpets (Numbers 29:1-6), (7) the tenth day of the seventh month, i.e. the Day of Atonement (Numbers 29:7-11), (8) the fifteenth to the twenty-first day of the seventh month, i.e. the seven days of the Feast of Booths (Numbers 29:12-31), (9) the additional, eighth, day of the Feast of Booths (Numbers 29:35-38). Nos. (7) and (9) shew that the list is post-exilic, for neither was observed before the time of Ezra. The offerings are of four kinds:—burnt-offerings (the flesh of animals), meal-offerings (meal and oil), drink-offerings or libations (wine), and sin-offerings (one he-goat). Similar lists, not, however, so complete and systematic, are found in the Law of Holiness (Leviticus 23) and Ezekiel 45:18 to Ezekiel 46:15. The amounts of the meal-offerings and libations have already been given in Numbers 15:1-16. The animals to be offered are as follows:—4 lambs for a burnt-offering on the Sabbath, and 2 on each of the other days in the week; on all the holy-days except the Sabbath one he-goat for a sin-offering; and in addition to these the following animals: LambsRamsBullocksst day of each month712Each of the 7 days of Unleavened Cakes712Feast of Weeks712st day of 7th month711th day of 7th month711Each of the 7 days of the Feast of Booths also 13 bullocks on the 1st day, and decreasing by one on each succeeding day.142th day of the Feast of Booths711
