I have to correct an error I made concerning the "hin" of oil and wine. I pray for forgiveness from God and from whoever read this mistake I made. My error was that I endorsed the fractions of the "hin" as 1/4th for all animals offered. That was wrong. Here is my recent findings. Please enjoy, for it is profound when seeing it in the correct manner.
I quote Numbers 15:2-12 to clarify that the rationing of the oil that is mixed with flour and the wine are the same quantity in respect to the animals they represent. “Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye be come into the land of your habitations, which I give unto you, And will make an offering by fire unto the LORD (atonement), a burnt offering (trumpets), or a sacrifice in performing a vow, or in a freewill offering, or in your solemn feasts, (Tabernacles, Unleavened Bread, and Feast of Weeks) to make a sweet savour unto the LORD, of the herd, or of the flock: 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 hin of oil. And the fourth part of an hin of wine for a drink offering shalt thou prepare with the burnt offering or sacrifice, for one lamb. Or for a ram, thou shalt prepare for a meat offering two tenth deals of flour mingled with the third part of an hin of oil. And for a drink offering thou shalt offer the third part of an hin of wine, for a sweet savour unto the LORD. And when thou preparest a bullock for a burnt offering, or for a sacrifice in performing a vow, or peace offerings unto the LORD: Then shall he bring with a bullock a meat offering of three tenth deals of flour mingled with half an hin of oil. And thou shalt bring for a drink offering half an hin of wine, for an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the LORD. Thus shall it be done for one bullock, or for one ram, or for a lamb, or a kid. According to the number that ye shall prepare, so shall ye do to every one according to their number.”
The quantity of oil and wine is the same for burnt offerings for Trumpets, an offering by fire unto the Lord for Atonement, and the three feasts according to the amount for each animal. The finest quality of olive oil was “beaten oil” obtained by gently pounding immature olives in a mortar and then straining it. It was used for lighting, and also the baking of bread. In Mark 14:26-29 we read about the Mount of Olives where Jesus tells Peter that he will deny Him, and in Acts 1:7-12 we see that this is the same place where Jesus ascended into heaven. In 1 Kings 6:23-31 we read about Cherubims, and doors made from olive trees that entered into the Holy of Holies in Solomon’s Temple. So we can safely say that the oil, in part, represents communication with our Savior, the preservation of the Word of truth, the door that leads us to God’s mercy seat, and the promise to send to us the Holy Spirit through Christ Jesus by our Father in heaven.
The oil represents the Holy Spirit mixed with the Word of God in the appropriate amounts for each animal that is offered. God the Father and the Son knew the weakness of man, and the manifestation of sin introduced by the evils of Satan. The love and grace of Jesus Christ, through the Spirit of God, introduces the blood covenant providing atonement for Adam, and Eve. This covenant was completed, but not negated, on Calvary’s hill with the shedding of blood for the remission of sins by Jesus Christ. We know that Jesus is the Passover, but this Lamb is not to be confused with attributes of God described as “shadow of good things to come” that are represented by the bullock, the flour, the oil, and the wine. Hebrews 10:1-4 explains this better than I can. “For the law having a shadow of good things to come, and not the very image of the things, can never with those sacrifices which they offered year by year continually make the comers thereunto perfect. For then would they not have ceased to be offered? because that the worshippers once purged should have had no more conscience of sins. But in those sacrifices there is a remembrance again made of sins every year. For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins.”
