Present to the LORD an offering made by fire, a burnt offering of two young bulls, one ram, and seven male lambs a year old, all unblemished. The grain offering shall consist of fine flour mixed with oil; offer three-tenths of an ephah with each bull, two-tenths of an ephah with the ram, and a tenth of an ephah with each of the seven lambs. Include one male goat as a sin offering to make atonement for you. You are to present these in addition to the regular morning burnt offering. Offer the same food each day for seven days as an offering made by fire, a pleasing aroma to the LORD. It is to be offered with its drink offering and the regular burnt offering. On the seventh day you shall hold a sacred assembly; you must not do any regular work. On the day of firstfruits, when you present an offering of new grain to the LORD during the Feast of Weeks, you are to hold a sacred assembly; you must not do any regular work. Present a burnt offering of two young bulls, one ram, and seven male lambs a year old as a pleasing aroma to the LORD, together with their grain offerings of fine flour mixed with oil—three-tenths of an ephah with each bull, two-tenths of an ephah with the ram, and a tenth of an ephah with each of the seven lambs. Include one male goat to make atonement for you. Offer them with their drink offerings in addition to the regular burnt offering and its grain offering. The animals must be unblemished. |
Ezekiel 45:23 Summary
[Ezekiel 45:23 is talking about a special feast where the prince provides sacrifices to God for seven days. He gives seven perfect bulls and seven perfect rams as a burnt offering, and a male goat as a sin offering, to show God's people how to worship and obey Him (as seen in Numbers 29:12-40). This reminds us of the importance of giving our best to God and seeking forgiveness for our sins (Leviticus 4:23-26). Just like the prince, we can serve others by pointing them to Jesus, who is our perfect sacrifice (Hebrews 7:25).]
