And when thou preparest a bullock [for] a burnt offering
Which was a larger offering, and required a larger meat offering and drink offering, as ( Numbers 15:9 Numbers 15:10 ) show:

or [for] a sacrifice in performing a vow or peace offerings unto the
Lord;
by which latter are meant freewill offerings; for though both sorts here mentioned were peace offerings, yet these were more particularly called so.
