Each day
The phrase "Each day" emphasizes the regularity and consistency of worship and sacrifice in the life of the Israelites. In the Hebrew context, daily offerings were a reminder of the constant need for atonement and communion with God. This daily rhythm of sacrifice underscores the importance of maintaining a continual relationship with the Divine, reflecting the New Testament call to "pray without ceasing" (1 Thessalonians 5:17).

you are also to provide
The directive "you are also to provide" indicates a personal responsibility and active participation in worship. The Hebrew root here suggests a sense of obligation and duty, highlighting that worship is not passive but requires intentional action. This aligns with the Christian understanding that faith without works is dead (James 2:26), emphasizing the need for believers to actively engage in their spiritual practices.

a young bull
The "young bull" was a significant offering in ancient Israel, symbolizing strength and value. In the Hebrew sacrificial system, the bull was often used for atonement, representing the costliness of sin and the need for a substantial sacrifice. This prefigures Christ's ultimate sacrifice, as He is the perfect offering who takes away the sin of the world (John 1:29).

a ram from the flock
The "ram from the flock" signifies leadership and substitution. Historically, rams were used in significant covenantal moments, such as the ram provided in place of Isaac (Genesis 22:13). This offering points to Christ as the Good Shepherd who lays down His life for the sheep (John 10:11), fulfilling the role of both leader and sacrificial substitute.

and seven unblemished male lambs
The "seven unblemished male lambs" highlight the importance of perfection and completeness in offerings to God. The number seven in Hebrew culture symbolizes completeness and divine perfection. The requirement for the lambs to be "unblemished" points to the necessity of purity in worship, foreshadowing Jesus, the Lamb of God, who was without sin (1 Peter 1:19).

as a burnt offering
The term "burnt offering" refers to a sacrifice that is wholly consumed by fire, symbolizing total dedication and surrender to God. In the Hebrew tradition, the burnt offering was a means of atonement and a way to express devotion. This complete offering prefigures the total sacrifice of Christ, who gave Himself entirely for humanity's redemption (Ephesians 5:2).

to the LORD
The phrase "to the LORD" signifies that the offerings are directed to Yahweh, the covenant God of Israel. This underscores the personal relationship between God and His people, reminding believers that all acts of worship and sacrifice are ultimately for His glory. It reflects the Christian call to do everything for the glory of God (1 Corinthians 10:31), acknowledging His sovereignty and grace.

Verses 23, 24. - The deviations of Ezekiel's Torah from that of Moses in regard to the offerings to be made during the seven days of the feast are also unmistakable (see Numbers 28:19-22).

(1) While the Pentateuchal code demanded, as a daily burnt offering, two bullocks, one ram, and seven yearling lambs, this of Ezekiel prescribes seven bullocks and seven rams.

(2) While that enjoined, as a meat offering, three-tenths of an ephah of flour mixed with oil for each bullock, two-tenths for a ram, and one-tenth for each lamb, this asks an ephah of flour with a hin of oil for each bullock and each ram.

(3) The sin offering in the new Torah should be the same as in the old, a he-goat daily.
