A tenth of an ephah would be a small portion, indicating the precision and care in the offerings prescribed by God. This specific measurement reflects the detailed nature of the sacrificial system, emphasizing obedience and the importance of following God's instructions exactly. The use of a tenth may also symbolize completeness or a portion set apart for God, similar to the tithe.<p><b>with each of the seven lambs</b><br>The number seven in the Bible often signifies completeness or perfection, which is evident in the seven days of creation and the Sabbath. Offering seven lambs could symbolize a complete and perfect offering to God. Lambs were commonly used in sacrifices, representing innocence and purity, and they foreshadow 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 repetition of the offering with each lamb underscores the thoroughness and consistency required in worship and devotion to God.<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 the Israelites performed their sacrifices and offerings.<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, which included burnt offerings, grain offerings, and others, as a means of worship and atonement.<br><br>5. <b><a href="/topical/f/feast_of_weeks.htm">Feast of Weeks</a></b><br>One of the appointed feasts of the Lord, during which these offerings were to be made, as part of the Israelites' worship and thanksgiving.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/u/understanding_the_sacrificial_system.htm">Understanding the Sacrificial System</a></b><br>The sacrificial system was a means for the Israelites to maintain a right relationship with God.
