Commentary
4 notes on this verseThis site's exposition
you are to observe the Passover
on Ezekiel 45:21-25
The calendar closes with two pilgrim feasts, the Passover and the feast of the seventh month. Each lasts seven days, with the prince's own sin offering “for himself and for all the people of the land.” Gill notes the vision restores the appointed times the law already named.
This site's exposition
a hin of olive oil for each ephah of grain
An ephah of grain with each bull and each ram is more than the three tenths and two tenths set in Numbers 28:20. A hin of oil goes with each ephah. Over seven days the prince's supply is large, drawn from the land set aside for him in verse 7.
The record, by era
The Church Fathers1 voice
(Verse 18 and following) Thus says the Lord God: In the first month, on the first day of the month, you shall take a young bull without blemish, and you shall purify the sanctuary. The priest shall take some of the blood of the sin offering and put it on the doorposts of the house, and on the four corners of the ledge of the altar, and on the doorposts of the gate of the inner court.
The Puritans and the Awakening1 voice
And he shall prepare a meat offering of an ephah for a bullock,....
