All that are born of the country shall do these things after this manner, etc.] Meaning that all Israelites should with their sacrifices bring their meat and drink offerings of the quantity directed to as above: in offering an offering made by fire of a sweet savour unto the Lord; when they offered any burnt offerings or peace offerings: the Jews say, that all sacrifices, whether of the congregation or of a private person, require drink offerings, excepting the firstborn, the tithes, the passover, the sin offering, and the trespass offering; but the sin offering of the leper, and his trespass offering, require them f195: the Targum of Jonathan is, “all that are born in Israel, and not among the people, shall make these drink offerings thus;” for though an uncircumcised Gentile might bring burnt offerings and peace offerings, yet not meat offerings and drink offerings with them; (see Gill on “<032218>Leviticus 22:18”); only such as were proselytes of righteousness, as in (<041514>Numbers 15:14).
