Commentary on Numbers 29:8
A burnt offering unto the LORD for a sweet savour (עֹלָה לְרֵיחַ נִיחֹחַ)—The olah completely consumed on the altar signified total dedication to God. Reach nichoach (sweet savour) depicts God's pleasure in willing sacrifice, language used of Noah's altar (Genesis 8:21) and foreshadowing Christ's self-offering (Ephesians 5:2).Without blemish (תְּמִימִם, temimim) demanded perfect animals, pointing to Christ the spotless Lamb. This Day of Atonement offering combined with those of Leviticus 16, layering priestly intercession with covenant worship before Sukkot began.
