If it was a ram, the meat-offering was doubled, two tenth-deals of flour, about five quarts, and a third part of a hin of oil (which was to them as butter is to us) mingled with it; and the same quantity of wine for a drink-offering, Nu 15:6,7. If the sacrifice was a bullock, the meat-offering was to be trebled, three omers, with five pints of oil, and the same quantity of wine for a drink-offering, Nu 15:8-10. And thus for each sacrifice, whether offered by a particular person or at the common charge. Note, Our religious services should be governed, as by other rules, so by the rule of proportion.

6 Or for a ram, thou shalt prepare for a meat offering two tenth deals
of flour, mingled with the third part of a hin of oil.
7 And for a drink offering thou shalt offer the third part of a hin of
wine, for a sweet savor unto the Lord.
8 And when thou preparest a bullock for a burnt offering, or for a
