The flour, oil, and wine are not mentioned here; but information concerning amounts is given elsewhere (see Eze. 46:11-15; Num. 15:4-15).

There must next, be a burnt offering dedicated to God. All of these offerings are following the laws in Leviticus. See Leviticus for greater detail about the meaning of the offerings. Notice, all these offerings must be without blemish. This burning, as we said earlier, is for purging or cleansing.



After seven days of offering bulls, goats, and rams the priests will present the people’s burnt offerings and fellowship offerings on the altar. This process will mark the full resumption of God’s fellowship with His people, as then God will accept them.
