Berean Study Bible
They brought
This phrase indicates a deliberate and purposeful action. The Hebrew root for "brought" is "בּוֹא" (bo), which means to come or bring. This action signifies obedience and reverence towards God’s commands. Historically, bringing offerings was a central part of worship in the Old Testament, symbolizing the people's desire to draw near to God and seek His favor.

seven bulls, seven rams, seven lambs, and seven male goats
The number seven in Hebrew culture is significant, often symbolizing completeness or perfection. The use of seven animals for each type of offering underscores the thoroughness and sincerity of the atonement process. Bulls, rams, lambs, and goats were common sacrificial animals, each representing different aspects of atonement and dedication. Bulls often symbolized strength and service, rams were associated with leadership and substitution, lambs with innocence and purity, and goats with sin-bearing.

as a sin offering
The sin offering, or "חַטָּאת" (chatta'ah) in Hebrew, was a crucial part of the sacrificial system, designed to atone for unintentional sins and cleanse the people from impurity. This offering highlights the seriousness of sin and the need for purification before God. It points forward to the ultimate sacrifice of Jesus Christ, who became the perfect sin offering for humanity.

for the kingdom, for the sanctuary, and for Judah
This phrase indicates the comprehensive scope of the atonement. The kingdom represents the political and social structure, the sanctuary signifies the religious and spiritual life, and Judah symbolizes the people and their identity. This tri-fold focus emphasizes the need for holistic repentance and restoration, covering all aspects of life and community.

Then he commanded the priests, the descendants of Aaron
The priests, specifically the descendants of Aaron, were divinely appointed mediators between God and the people. Their role was crucial in performing the sacrifices according to God’s instructions. This highlights the importance of obedience to God’s ordained order and the necessity of a mediator, foreshadowing Christ as our High Priest.

to offer them on the altar of the LORD
The altar was the designated place for sacrifices, symbolizing God’s presence and the meeting point between the divine and human. Offering sacrifices on the altar was an act of worship and submission to God’s will. It underscores the need for a consecrated space and heart in approaching God, reminding believers of the ultimate sacrifice of Christ on the cross, which opened the way for all to come to God.
