For seven days
The phrase "for seven days" signifies a period of completeness and spiritual perfection in the biblical context. The number seven is often associated with God's creation and covenant, as seen in the seven days of creation in Genesis. This period of seven days for the offerings underscores the importance of thorough purification and dedication to God, reflecting a complete cycle of consecration.

you shall provide
The directive "you shall provide" indicates a commandment given to the Israelites, emphasizing their active role in the sacrificial process. This requirement highlights the responsibility of the people to participate in their own sanctification and the maintenance of their relationship with God. It is a reminder of the covenantal relationship where obedience to God's instructions is paramount.

a male goat as a sin offering
The "male goat as a sin offering" is significant in the sacrificial system of ancient Israel. The Hebrew term for sin offering, "chattat," implies purification from sin and atonement. The male goat, often used in sin offerings, symbolizes the removal of sin and impurity from the community. This offering points to the need for atonement and foreshadows the ultimate sacrifice of Christ, who takes away the sins of the world.

each day
The repetition of the offering "each day" for seven days emphasizes the continual need for atonement and the persistent nature of sin. It reflects the daily renewal of commitment to God and the constant need for His grace and forgiveness. This daily ritual serves as a reminder of the Israelites' dependence on God's mercy.

also a young bull and a ram from the flock
The inclusion of "a young bull and a ram from the flock" alongside the male goat indicates the significance and gravity of the offerings. The young bull, often associated with strength and value, and the ram, a symbol of leadership and sacrifice, together represent a comprehensive offering to God. These animals, being valuable and without blemish, signify the best of what the people could offer, pointing to the need for wholehearted devotion.

without blemish
The requirement that the offerings be "without blemish" underscores the holiness and perfection required in sacrifices to God. This stipulation reflects God's nature as holy and perfect, and the offerings must mirror this standard. It also foreshadows the sinless nature of Christ, the perfect Lamb of God, who was sacrificed for the sins of humanity.

shall be provided
The phrase "shall be provided" indicates the necessity and certainty of the offerings. It reflects God's provision and the assurance that He will accept the offerings when they are made according to His instructions. This provision is a testament to God's faithfulness and the assurance of His presence among His people when they follow His commands.

Verse 25. - Seven days. Hitzig reckons these as additional to the first (ver. 19) and second (ver. 22) days; Kliefoth begins them with the second; Keil, Schroder, Currey, and the majority of expositors take them as inclusive of the first and second. Hitzig's proposal may be set aside, since it cannot be maintained without erasing "thou shalt make atonement for it" in ver. 20, and the first half of the present verse. In favor of Kliefoth's view may be urged that the first day appears to stand out from the others, 'and to be distinguished by the peculiar character of its offering - a young bullock for a sin offering, without any accompanying burnt offering; that the offerings on the second and subsequent days are alike, a he-goat and a ram; that on each of the seven days a goat is mentioned for a sin offering, whereas on the first day it was a young bullock that was slain; and that in Zechariah 3:9 occurs an allusion to what seems a special day such as this first day of Ezekiel. In support of Keil's interpretation it is contended that the seven days were to be employed in purging or making atonement for, and purifying the altar, which was in part at least (even admitting a distinction in meaning between חָטָּא and טָהַר) the business of the first day; that the general statement in ver. 20 as to a goat for a sin offering on the seven days admits of easy qualification by the previous statement in ver. 19; and that seven days was the normal duration of religious solemnities under the Law (see Leviticus 8:33; 1 Kings 8:65; 2 Chronicles 7:8, 9).
