Exegetical and Hermeneutical Commentary of Ezekiel 46:6

And in the day of the new moon [it shall be] a young bullock without blemish, and six lambs, and a ram: they shall be without blemish.

Compare with Num. 28. The enumeration of the offerings both for the Sabbath and new moon is here less complete than there; e. g., the drink offerings are passed by, and in the case of the new moon festival no mention is made of the blowing of trumpets (compare Num 10:10).

In these verses nothing new occurs but the appointing a bullock with its meat-offering for the new moon sacrifice, of which also on another occasion already, Eze 46:1.

A young bullock: see Eze 45:22.

Without blemish: see Eze 45:4.

Six lambs: see Eze 46:4.

And in the day of the new moon it shall be a young bullock without blemish,…. This is also different from the law of Moses, which required two young bullocks and a ram, and seven lambs,

Nu 28:11, whereas here only one bullock:

and six lambs, and a ram; they shall be without blemish; and here Kimchi acknowledges again that this is a new thing to be done in future time. Some have observed, that the seven lambs under the law showed that perfection might be hoped for and expected; but, there being but six now, that this is not yet attained, nor will be till the saints get to heaven; though perfection is come by the priesthood of Christ, whose sacrifice is a perfect and complete one, and by which his people are perfected, and they are complete in him, yet they have no perfection in themselves.

Eze 46:6. The day of the new moon was the beginning of the month and was a holy or sabbath day. Like other Special days, it was celebrated by offering animal sacrifices.

On the new moon days, the prince was to offer the same offerings as he did on the Sabbath days plus a young bull and an ephah of flour and a hin of oil with it. This too is somewhat different from the Mosaic requirement (cf. Num 28:11-15).
