Drink offering

The phrase "drink offering" appears 29 times in the text.

Drink offering is said to have been common in the patriarchal period and was associated with many of the sacrifices (Exodus 29:40). They could not be poured upon the golden altar of incense (Exodus 30:9) The same as they were not to have strong drink in the vicinity because of a danger of death.

Others also say these drink offerings were required and accompaniment with all freewill offerings and votive offerings and other established feasts (Numbers 28:14-31; Numbers 29:6-39). The reference in Deuteronomy 32:38 indicates that drink offerings were common features of heathen cultic rituals. Oil and wine, used separately or as a mixture, constituted the normal libation.
