4 6<\/strong>. On the sabbath the burnt-offering shall be six lambs and a ram, and the meal-offering an ephah of flour for the ram and what the prince thinks good for the lambs; and the libation a hin of oil.<\/p>\n The offerings prescribed here Eze 46:4-15<\/span> are generally in excess of those enjoined by the Law, to note not only the greater devotion and magnificence under the new state of things, but also the willingness (compare Deu 16:17<\/span>) of king and people ready to give of their substance to the utmost of their means.<\/P> <\/p>\n Verse 4<\/span>. The burnt-offerings that the prince shall offer<\/B><\/I>] The chief magistrate<\/I> was always obliged to attend the public worship<\/I> of God<\/I>, as well as the priest<\/I>, to show that the civil<\/I> and ecclesiastical<\/I> states were both under the same government of the Lord; and that no one was capable of being prince<\/I> or priest<\/I>, who did not acknowledge God in all his ways. It is no wonder that those lands mourn, where neither the established priest<\/I> nor the civil magistrate<\/I> either fear or love God. Ungodly priests and profligate magistrates are a curse to any land. In no country have I found both so exemplary for uprightness, as in Britain.<\/P> <\/p>\n The burnt-offering; <\/B>this is different from that Eze 42:13<\/span>, as appears both from the kind of sacrifice and the occasion of it, or the time of each. <\/P> In the sabbath day; <\/B>or weekly, sabbath by sabbath; this was three times as much as was required, Num 28:9<\/span>. <\/P> Six lambs<\/B> of the first year, and males, Eze 46:13<\/span>, and as the Hebrew implies. <\/P> Without blemish; <\/B>unblemished sacrifices were ever required, and so this, Lev 1:3<\/span>; Num 6:14<\/span>. <\/P> A ram; <\/B>when it was more than a year old, the Jews accounted it a ram. <\/P> <\/p>\n And the burnt offering the prince shall offer unto the Lord in the sabbath day<\/strong>,…. In Eze 45:17<\/span>, it is said to be the prince’s part to give and prepare sacrifices in the feasts, new moons, sabbaths, and all solemnities; and there follows an account of them, for New Year’s Day, and for the feasts of passover and tabernacles; and here an account is given of those for the sabbaths and new moons; which is very properly reserved for this place, to follow the account of the opening of the eastern gate at those seasons: and the burnt offering for the sabbath shall be<\/p>\n six lambs without blemish, and a ram without blemish<\/strong>; according to the law of Moses, only two lambs were the burnt offering for this day, besides the continual one, Nu 28:9<\/span>, here Jarchi confesses his ignorance; and Kimchi says it is a new thing; and indeed it is, and is a proof of the ceremonial law being now abolished. These seven denote the perfect sacrifice of Christ, by which he has perfected for ever them that are sanctified; and being without blemish, the purity and holiness of it; and as the people of God on the six working days commit much sin, and contract much guilt, the sacrifice of Christ is signified by six lambs, which it is necessary they should hear of, and it should be set before them in the ministry of the word on Lord’s days, which is meant by the offering of it; that they may by faith apply it to themselves, to the removal of sin from their consciences, and take the comfort of it; as the one ram may denote the one sacrifice of Christ, though typified by many; and who, like the ram, is the leader and guide of the flock: now, more creatures being offered for this burnt offering than under the law, denotes the clearer knowledge of the sacrifice of Christ under the Gospel, and the more extensive efficacy of it, to the removal of the guilt of sin from the Lord’s people.<\/p>\n (4) Six lambs . . . and a ram.<\/strong>The burnt offering for the Sabbath, according to the Mosaic law (Num. 28:9<\/span>), was two lambs. This is greatly increased here, and the meat offering for the ram is also made larger, while that for the lambs (Eze. 46:5<\/span>) is left to the princes generosity.<\/p>\n 4-7<\/strong>. <\/strong> Instead of two lambs for a burnt offering the prince in this new and ideal commonwealth shall offer six on the Sabbath (Num 28:9<\/span>), and instead of two tenths of an ephah of flour mingled with oil for a meat and drink offering ( ibid<\/em>.) an entire ephah is required and a bin of oil (about 1 gals.) to each ephah of flour (about 9 gals.). The amount of flour for each lamb is left to the liberality of his hand (Eze 46:5<\/span>; Eze 46:7<\/span>). The offering at the new moons, however, is less than the Levitical law required (Num 28:11-15<\/span>), and the sin offering is entirely omitted. The divergences between the directions of Ezekiel and the Pentateuchal law are as yet inexplicable, as we are too little acquainted with the sacrificial symbolism to explain them. To declare that this law was later than Ezekiel and based upon his legislation does not remove the difficulty; for such small changes as these could not have been made without sufficient reason, and we cannot now know what that reason was; though we may be pretty confident that in the Hebrew ritual, as in that of other nations, each act of the priest and each sacrifice had some definite religious meaning. (Compare Eze 43:11-12<\/span>.)<\/p>\n The Prince’s Offerings On Behalf Of The People ( Eze 46:4-8<\/strong><\/span><\/strong> ).<\/p>\n <\/strong><\/p>\n “And on the sabbath the whole burnt offering that the prince shall offer to Yahweh shall be six lambs without blemish and a ram without blemish, and the meal offering shall be an ephah for the ram, and the meal offering for the sheep as he is able to give, and a hin of oil to an ephah. And on 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. And he will prepare a meal offering, an ephah for the bullock, and an ephah for the ram, and for the lambs according as he is able, and a hin of oil to an ephah.”<\/p>\n The weekly offering is six lambs and a ram, but on the new moon a young bullock is also required. As ever they are to be without blemish, for what is blemished cannot be offered to Yahweh. He is worthy of the best, and what is offered to Him must be without fault. These are offerings of worship and praise. Included with them are meal offerings to a certain level, and then as the prince is able. This interesting proviso recognises that the wealth of princes and their people will fluctuate at different times. Not all harvests will be plentiful. The weekly offering may represent a lamb for each of the six working days of the week and a ram for the sabbath, or it may simply be with the intent of making the divinely perfect seven in all. The additional bullock celebrates the new moon. As described earlier these offerings are on behalf of the people as well as himself (Eze 45:17<\/span>).<\/p>\n These provisions differ from those required by the Mosaic law (Num 28:9-15<\/span>). It is the sign of a new beginning, even though based on the old.<\/p>\n Eze 46:4 And the burnt offering that the prince shall offer unto the LORD in the sabbath day [shall be] six lambs without blemish, and a ram without blemish.<\/p>\n Ver. 4. Six lambs without blemish.<\/strong> ] This was a larger sacrifice than Moses had appointed Num 28:9 – Christians have more cause than Jews had to sanctify the Sabbath – as that for the new moons Eze 46:6 was lesser. See Num 28:11<\/span> . Hereby it appeareth that God was about to abrogate the Mosaical worship, and the Levitical priesthood: Lex enim posterior derogat priori.<\/em> This the Jewish doctors would fain say something to, but cannot tell what. The wit of these miscreants, reprobate concerning the faith, will better serve them to devise a thousand shifts to elude the truth, than their obstinace will suffer them once to yield and acknowledge it.<\/p>\n offer = bring near. App-43. <\/p>\n the burnt: The proportions of the burnt offerings, and also of the meat and drink offerings, are very different here form those prescribed in the Mosaic law. The meat offering, under the law, was only three tenths of an ephah to a bullock, two tenths for a ram, and one tenth for a lamb, with the fourth part of a hin of oil. Eze 45:17, Num 28:9, Num 28:10 <\/p>\n Reciprocal: 2Ki 16:15 – the king’s burnt 2Ch 31:3 – the king’s<\/p>\n Eze 46:4. The details of the burnt offerings are given in Leviticus 1. All the animals for the sacrificial altar must be perfect and the best of the herd or flock.<\/p>\n Eze 46:4-5. The burnt-offering that the prince shall offer, &c. It was the princes part to provide sacrifices for the sabbaths and other festivals: see Eze 45:17. But this was a new ordinance; and the number of the beasts that were to be offered, and the proportions of the meat and drink- offerings, are different here from those prescribed in the law, as will appear by comparing the fourth, sixth, seventh, and fourteenth verses of this chapter, with Num 28:9-12; Num 28:15. And the meat-offering for the lambs as he shall be able to give The Hebrew is, According to the gift of his hand; that is, as much as he shall think sufficient. <\/p>\n On the Sabbath days, the prince’s burnt offering would consist of six lambs and a ram without blemish. Grain offerings were to accompany them: an ephah with the ram, and as much as he was able to provide with the lambs. He was also to offer a hin of oil with each ephah of grain. This is a variation of what the Mosaic Law prescribed (cf. Num 28:9-10). These grain and oil offerings evidently symbolize the Lord’s rich provisions for His people.<\/p>\n And the burnt offering that the prince shall offer unto the LORD in the sabbath day [shall be] six lambs without blemish, and a ram without blemish. 4 6.
