A tenth of an ephah would therefore be a small portion, indicating the precision and care in the offerings prescribed by God. This specific measurement reflects the importance of obedience to God's commands in worship. The use of a tenth may also symbolize completeness or wholeness, as the number ten often represents in biblical numerology. This offering is part of the daily sacrifices, emphasizing the regularity and consistency of worship.<p><b>with each of the seven lambs</b><br>The number seven in the Bible often signifies completeness or perfection, as seen in the creation week. The offering of seven lambs could symbolize a complete and perfect offering to God. Lambs were commonly used in sacrifices, representing innocence and purity, which foreshadows the ultimate sacrifice of Jesus Christ, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world (<a href="/john/1-29.htm">John 1:29</a>). The daily offering of lambs underscores the need for continual atonement and the constant presence of sin requiring redemption. This practice also points to the future fulfillment in Christ, who provides a once-for-all sacrifice.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/m/moses.htm">Moses</a></b><br>The leader of the Israelites who received the laws and instructions from God, including the sacrificial system outlined in Numbers.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/i/israelites.htm">Israelites</a></b><br>The chosen people of God, who were given specific instructions on how to worship and offer sacrifices.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/t/tabernacle.htm">Tabernacle</a></b><br>The portable dwelling place for the divine presence, where sacrifices and offerings were made.<br><br>4. <b><a href="/topical/s/sacrificial_system.htm">Sacrificial System</a></b><br>The set of offerings and sacrifices commanded by God, including burnt offerings, grain offerings, and others, to maintain a covenant relationship with Him.<br><br>5. <b><a href="/topical/f/feast_of_weeks.htm">Feast of Weeks</a></b><br>One of the appointed feasts where these offerings were to be made, emphasizing the importance of obedience and worship.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/o/obedience_in_worship.htm">Obedience in Worship</a></b><br>The specific instructions for offerings highlight the importance of obedience in worship.
