The meat-offering is treated in Leviticus. 2. The drink-offering Exodus 29:40; Leviticus 23:13, hitherto an ordinary accessory to the former, is now prescribed forevery sacrifice.

Then shall he that offereth his offering unto the LORD bring a meat offering of a tenth deal of flour mingled with the fourth [part] of an (b) hin of oil.
(b) Read (Exodus 29:40).

Then shall he that offereth his offering unto the Lord,.... Be it of either kind before mentioned:
bring a meat offering of a tenth deal of flour, mingled with the fourth part of an hin of oil; this was made of the tenth part of an ephah, or of an omer of fine wheaten flour, which was the quantity of about three quarts; and which was mixed and macerated with the fourth part of an hin, or with a quart and more than half a pint of oil: see Exodus 29:40; rather this should be called a bread offering.

tenth deal--that is, an omer, the tenth part of an ephah (Exodus 16:36).
fourth part of an hin of oil--This element shows it to have been different from such meat offerings as were made by themselves, and not merely accompaniments of other sacrifices.

A tenth deal - The tenth part of an Ephah, that is, about five pints. An hin contained about five quarts.
