and a tenth of an ephah
The phrase "a tenth of an ephah" refers to a specific measurement used in ancient Israelite society. An ephah is a unit of dry measure, roughly equivalent to 22 liters or about 5.8 gallons. A tenth of an ephah, therefore, would be a little over 2 liters. This precise measurement underscores the importance of order and obedience in worship. The Israelites were called to offer their best to God, and this included adhering to the specific quantities He commanded. The use of "a tenth" also symbolizes completeness and holiness, as the number ten often represents in biblical numerology. This offering is a reminder of the need for precision and dedication in our spiritual lives, ensuring that we give God what is due to Him with a heart of reverence and gratitude.

with each of the seven lambs
The "seven lambs" mentioned here are part of the sacrificial offerings prescribed for the Israelites. The number seven is significant in the Bible, often symbolizing completeness or perfection, as seen in the seven days of creation. Offering seven lambs signifies a complete and perfect offering to God, reflecting the fullness of devotion and worship. Lambs, in particular, are symbolic of innocence and purity, pointing forward to the ultimate sacrifice of Jesus Christ, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world (John 1:29). Each lamb offered is a foreshadowing of Christ's perfect sacrifice, reminding believers of the depth of God's love and the call to live lives of holiness and dedication. The repetition of the offering with each lamb emphasizes the continual nature of worship and the need for ongoing commitment to God’s commands.
