in their due season		The stated sacrifices and service of the tabernacle having, probably, been greatly interrupted for several years, and a new generation having arisen, who were children or minors when the law was given respecting these ordinances; and as they were now about to enter into the promised land, where they must be established and constantly observed; God commands Moses to repeat them to the people in the following order:--1. Daily: the morning and evening sacrifices; a lamb each time. (Num 28:3, 4.) 2. Weekly: the sabbath offerings; two lambs of a year old. (Num 28:9, 10.) 3. Monthly: at the beginning of each month, two young bullocks, one ram, and seven lambs of a year old, and a kid for a sin offering. (Num 28:11-15.) 4. Annual: (1) the Passover to last seven days; the offerings, two young bullocks, one ram, seven lambs of a year old, and a he-goat. (Num 28:16-25.) (2) The day of first-fruits: the sacrifices the same as on the beginning of the month. (Num 28:26-31.) Num 9:2,3,7,13; Exd 23:15; Psa 81:3
