A Correction

(From a letter)
“May I ask, in re-reading your lovely booklet on the Offerings of Leviticus, am I to understand that no meat offering was offered on the Day of Atonement? (Lev. 16, and 23). And yet in Numbers 29:7-11,7And ye shall have on the tenth day of this seventh month an holy convocation; and ye shall afflict your souls: ye shall not do any work therein: 8But ye shall offer a burnt offering unto the Lord for a sweet savor; one young bullock, one ram, and seven lambs of the first year; they shall be unto you without blemish: 9And their meat offering shall be of flour mingled with oil, three tenth deals to a bullock, and two tenth deals to one ram, 10A several tenth deal for one lamb, throughout the seven lambs: 11One kid of the goats for a sin offering; beside the sin offering of atonement, and the continual burnt offering, and the meat offering of it, and their drink offerings. (Numbers 29:7‑11) we read of the ‘continual’ burnt offering with its meat offering, evening as well as morning, and its frankincense required in the Law (Lev. 2:1, 21And when any will offer a meat offering unto the Lord, his offering shall be of fine flour; and he shall pour oil upon it, and put frankincense thereon: 2And he shall bring it to Aaron's sons the priests: and he shall take thereout his handful of the flour thereof, and of the oil thereof, with all the frankincense thereof; and the priest shall burn the memorial of it upon the altar, to be an offering made by fire, of a sweet savor unto the Lord: (Leviticus 2:1‑2)), together with the burnt offering of the day with its meat offering (Num. 29:8,98But ye shall offer a burnt offering unto the Lord for a sweet savor; one young bullock, one ram, and seven lambs of the first year; they shall be unto you without blemish: 9And their meat offering shall be of flour mingled with oil, three tenth deals to a bullock, and two tenth deals to one ram, (Numbers 29:8‑9)) and the required frankincense, on the tenth day of the seventh month, and does not this refer to the ‘burnt offering’ for himself (Aaron) and for the people, in Lev. 16:2424And he shall wash his flesh with water in the holy place, and put on his garments, and come forth, and offer his burnt offering, and the burnt offering of the people, and make an atonement for himself, and for the people. (Leviticus 16:24)? For every burnt offering was accompanied by its meat offering (the oil, and the frankincense) and with its drink offering.
“The ‘meat offering’ — of fine wheat flour, with the oil, and the frankincense, and the salt — what a precious type and foreshadowing of the Lord Jesus Christ as Man, in Manhood, on earth. And do we not find Him foreshadowed as such in the offerings on the Day of Atonement? God’s food (bread) and ours.
“Moreover, regarding the ‘live-goat’ let go in the wilderness — do we not find the counterpart or antitype in Hebrews 13:20,20Now the God of peace, that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant, (Hebrews 13:20) in virtue of the blood of the everlasting covenant? “Just a few thoughts, dear brother.
Yours in Him

Thank you so much, dear Brother, for correcting me in this beautiful and important type.
