On the eighth day
The phrase "on the eighth day" signifies a new beginning and completion in biblical numerology. The number eight often represents a fresh start, as seen in the circumcision of Jewish males on the eighth day (Genesis 17:12) and the resurrection of Jesus, which occurred on the first day of the week, symbolically the eighth day. This marks the transition from the seven days of consecration to the commencement of regular worship, indicating a new phase in the relationship between God and His people.

and thereafter
This phrase implies continuity and ongoing practice. It suggests that the rituals and offerings are not a one-time event but are to be maintained regularly. This continuity reflects the enduring nature of God's covenant with Israel and the perpetual need for atonement and fellowship with God.

the priests are to present
The role of the priests is central in the Old Testament as mediators between God and the people. The Hebrew root for "priests" is "kohen," which denotes someone who serves in a sacred capacity. The priests' duty to present offerings underscores their responsibility to uphold the sanctity of worship and maintain the spiritual health of the nation.

your burnt offerings and peace offerings
Burnt offerings (Hebrew: "olah") were entirely consumed by fire, symbolizing total dedication to God. Peace offerings (Hebrew: "shelamim") were shared between the altar, the priests, and the offerer, symbolizing reconciliation and fellowship. Together, these offerings represent both the need for atonement and the joy of communion with God.

on the altar
The altar is a sacred place of sacrifice and worship. In the context of Ezekiel's vision, the altar represents the restored worship in the new temple. It is a place where heaven and earth meet, and where the divine presence is encountered. The altar's centrality in worship highlights the importance of sacrifice and devotion in the believer's life.

Then I will accept you
This promise from God emphasizes His willingness to receive His people when they approach Him in obedience and sincerity. The Hebrew word for "accept" (רָצָה, "ratzah") conveys the idea of being pleased or satisfied. It reflects God's desire for a relationship with His people, contingent upon their faithfulness and adherence to His commands.

declares the Lord GOD
This authoritative declaration underscores the certainty and divine origin of the promise. The use of "Lord GOD" (Hebrew: "Adonai Yahweh") combines the sovereign authority of God with His covenantal name, emphasizing both His power and His faithfulness to His promises. This assurance from God provides hope and encouragement to the faithful, affirming that their worship and offerings are not in vain.

Verse 27. - The eighth day, and so forward. Omit "so." With this day the regular sacrificial service should commence. Thenceforward the priests should offer upon the altar the burnt offerings and peace offerings of the people. The omission of sin offerings is explained by Keil, on the principle that "burnt offerings" and "peace offerings" were "the principal and most frequent sacrifices, whilst sin offerings and meat offerings were implied therein;" Kliefoth adding that Ezekiel 44:27, 29; Ezekiel 45:17, 19, 22, 23, 25; and Ezekiel 46:20 show it cannot be inferred that sin offerings were no more to be offered on this altar. At the same time, the prominence given to "burnt" and "peace" as distinguished from "sin offerings" may, as Schroder suggests, have pointed to the fact that the sacrificers who should use this altar would be "a people in a state of grace," to whom Jehovah was prepared to say, I will accept you, not your offerings alone, but your persons as well; and not these because of those, but contrariwise, these on account of these. Kliefoth's idea, that the first day symbolized the future day of Christ's sacrifice, that the seven intermediate days (on his hypothesis) pointed to the period of the Christian Church, and that the eighth day looked forward to the time of the end, while not without elements of truth, is open to this objection, that in the period of the Christian Church there should have been "no more sacrifice for sin;" and yet, as Kliefoth admits, "sin offerings" were afterwards to be made upon this altar.
