This is the oblation that ye shall offer; the sixth part of an ephah
of an homer of wheat, and ye shall give the sixth part of an ephah
of an homer of barley: Concerning the ordinance of oil, the bath of
oil, ye shall offer the tenth part of a bath out of the cor, which
is an homer of ten baths; for ten baths are an homer: And one lamb
out of the flock, out of two hundred, out of the fat pastures of
Israel; for a meat offering, and for a burnt offering, and for peace
offerings, to make reconciliation for them, saith the Lord God. All
the people of the land shall give this oblation for the prince in
Israel. And it shall be the prince's part to give burnt offerings,
and meat offerings, and drink offerings, in the feasts, and in the
new moons, and in the sabbaths, in all solemnities of the house of
Israel: he shall prepare the sin offering, and the meat offering,
and the burnt offering, and the peace offerings, to make
reconciliation for the house of Israel (verses 13-17).
What the ruling Prince, the vice-regent upon the throne of David, is to
receive from the people is stated in verses 13-16. The part of the
Prince is to give burnt-offerings, meal offerings, drink offerings, at
the different feasts and solemnities, to make reconciliation for the
House of Israel. No doubt all this has a retrospective value and
meaning. These sacrifices and offerings commemorate the one great
sacrifice, which is constantly and vividly kept in full view by these
ceremonies.
