From Chabad.org: This Aliya continues with the rules of the sacrifice
accompaniments -- detailing the quantities of wine, flour and oil to be
brought with various species of livestock.
In previous
Aliyot we've angered G-d, been punished, and now we're finding out how
G-d likes His sacrifices, so that we may appease him, presumably. Then
the Passuk says that converts should be treated like anyone else, which
would otherwise seem superfluous and out of place, but in the context of
the Parsha it actually makes more sense. A convert wasn't part of the
nation when we angered G-d, and some might wonder if the sacrifices
apply to them. The Aliya dispels that notion. Sacrifices (animal, money
or behavioral) are ways to get closer to G-d, regardless of one's past.
