You are to present
This phrase indicates a command, not a suggestion, emphasizing the importance of obedience in worship. The Hebrew root for "present" is "qarab," which means to draw near or approach. This reflects the idea that offerings are a means of drawing near to God, highlighting the relational aspect of worship. In the historical context, presenting offerings was a central part of Israelite worship, symbolizing devotion and reverence.

an offering made by fire
The Hebrew term "ishsheh" refers to offerings consumed by fire, symbolizing purification and the ascent of the offering to God. Fire in the Bible often represents God's presence and holiness. The act of burning the offering signifies the complete surrender and dedication of the worshiper to God, as the smoke rises to heaven.

to the LORD
The use of "LORD" in all capitals indicates the Hebrew name "YHWH," the covenant name of God. This emphasizes the personal relationship between God and Israel. The offerings are not just ritualistic acts but are directed to a personal, covenant-keeping God who desires a relationship with His people.

a burnt offering
The Hebrew word "olah" means "that which goes up," referring to the smoke rising to God. Burnt offerings were entirely consumed on the altar, symbolizing total dedication and atonement. This offering foreshadows the ultimate sacrifice of Jesus Christ, who offered Himself completely for the atonement of sin.

of two young bulls
Bulls were valuable animals, symbolizing strength and wealth. Offering two young bulls indicates the significance and costliness of the sacrifice. In the ancient Near Eastern context, bulls were often associated with leadership and power, underscoring the importance of offering the best to God.

one ram
Rams were also significant in sacrificial rituals, often representing substitutionary atonement. The ram's inclusion in the offering highlights the completeness and variety of the sacrifice, ensuring that it covers all aspects of atonement and dedication.

and seven male lambs a year old
The number seven in the Bible often symbolizes completeness or perfection. Offering seven lambs signifies the completeness of the sacrifice. Lambs, being gentle and innocent, are a poignant symbol of purity and innocence, pointing to Christ, the Lamb of God.

all unblemished
The requirement for the animals to be unblemished underscores the need for purity and perfection in offerings to God. This reflects God's holiness and the standard of perfection required for atonement. It also points to Jesus Christ, the sinless and perfect sacrifice for humanity's sins.

Verse 19. - Ye shall offer a sacrifice. This offering, the same for each day of Mattsoth as for the feast of the new moon, had not been prescribed before, and almost certainly not observed at the one passover kept in the wilderness (Numbers 9:5).
