The return from exile was a fulfillment of God's promise through prophets like Jeremiah (<a href="/jeremiah/29-10.htm">Jeremiah 29:10</a>) and Isaiah (<a href="/isaiah/44-28.htm">Isaiah 44:28</a>). The return signifies a restoration of the covenant relationship between God and His people.sacrificed burnt offerings to the God of Israel Burnt offerings were a central part of Israelite worship, symbolizing atonement and dedication to God. The act of sacrifice upon returning to Jerusalem underscores the importance of re-establishing worship and obedience to God as a community. It reflects the priority of spiritual renewal and covenant faithfulness.12 bulls for all Israel The number 12 is significant, representing the twelve tribes of Israel. Offering 12 bulls symbolizes unity and inclusivity of the entire nation in this act of worship, despite the historical division between the northern and southern kingdoms.96 rams Rams were often used in sacrificial offerings and symbolize strength and leadership. The specific number may not have a direct symbolic meaning but indicates the abundance and generosity of the offerings, reflecting the people's gratitude and commitment.77 lambs Lambs are frequently used in sacrifices, often symbolizing innocence and purity. The number 77 could be seen as a symbol of completeness or perfection, emphasizing the thoroughness of the people's dedication to God.and a sin offering of 12 male goats Sin offerings were made to atone for unintentional sins and to purify the people. The use of 12 goats again highlights the representation of all Israel, emphasizing collective repentance and the need for purification as they re-establish their community in the land.All this was a burnt offering to the LORD The burnt offering was entirely consumed by fire, symbolizing total surrender and devotion to God.

Like their predecessors under Zernbbabel, who had made an offering for all Israel (<a href="/ezra/6-17.htm">Ezra 6:17</a>), so the present colonists under Ezra, assuming that they represented all Israel, offered for the whole nation. The classes of animals offered are the same on the two occasions, and the number of the he-goats is identical; but in every other case the victims are far less numerous now than on the former occasion.
