On the day of the New Moon
The New Moon was a significant time in the Hebrew calendar, marking the beginning of a new month. In ancient Israel, the New Moon was a time of renewal and dedication, symbolizing a fresh start and a reminder of God's creation and sovereignty over time. The Hebrew word for "New Moon" is "Rosh Chodesh," which literally means "head of the month." This observance was not only a time for sacrifices but also for communal gathering and worship, reflecting the importance of aligning one's life with God's ordained times.

you are to offer
The act of offering in the Hebrew context is deeply rooted in the concept of worship and devotion. The Hebrew word "qarab" means to bring near or present, indicating that offerings were a means of drawing closer to God. This phrase underscores the importance of intentionality in worship, where offerings are not mere rituals but acts of heartfelt devotion and obedience to God's commands.

a young, unblemished bull
The requirement for a "young, unblemished bull" signifies purity and strength. In Hebrew, "tamim" means complete or perfect, emphasizing the need for offerings to be without defect. The bull, a symbol of strength and service, represents the best of what one has to offer to God. This reflects the principle that God deserves our best, and our offerings should be a reflection of our reverence and gratitude.

six lambs
Lambs were commonly used in sacrificial offerings, symbolizing innocence and submission. The number six, often associated with human effort and imperfection, contrasts with the perfection required in the offerings. This juxtaposition highlights the need for divine grace and the insufficiency of human efforts alone to achieve righteousness. The lambs, therefore, serve as a reminder of the need for humility and reliance on God's provision.

and a ram without blemish
The ram, like the bull, was a significant sacrificial animal, often associated with leadership and atonement. The requirement for it to be "without blemish" reiterates the theme of purity and perfection in offerings. In Hebrew, "ayil" refers to a mature male sheep, symbolizing strength and authority. This offering points to the ultimate sacrifice of Christ, the Lamb of God, who was without blemish and provided the perfect atonement for sin.

without blemish
This phrase is crucial in understanding the nature of acceptable offerings to God. The Hebrew word "tamim" again emphasizes the need for completeness and perfection. In a broader theological context, it points to the holiness and perfection of God, who requires that His people strive for purity in their worship and lives. This standard foreshadows the perfect sacrifice of Jesus Christ, who fulfilled the law's requirements and provided a way for believers to be made righteous before God.

(6) A young bullock . . . and six lambs, and a ram.--The law required for the new moons, for a burnt offering, two bullocks, seven lambs, and a ram (Numbers 28:11), so that this sacrifice is here diminished; it also required a he-goat for a sin offering, of which no mention is here made.

Verses 6, 7 specify the corresponding sacrifices for the new moons.

(1) A burnt offering of a young bullock without blemish, six lambs, and a ram, with which may be compared the two bullocks, one ram, and seven lambs of the Mosaic Torah (Numbers 28:11-15).

(2) A meat (or, meal) offering of an ephah for the bullock, an ephah for the ram, and for the lambs according as his hand shall attain unto (comp. ver 5; and the similar expressions in Leviticus 5:7, 11; Leviticus 12:8), with a hin of oil to an ephah. This also is less than that which had been demanded by the Law, viz. three-tenths of an ephah of fine flour mingled with oil for each bullock, two-tenths for the ram and one-tenth for every lamb (Numbers 28:11-15). The Torah of Ezekiel omits the sin offering of a he-goat, which had a place in the Torah of Moses.
