In the context of Ezekiel, it refers to a future time of restoration and renewal for Israel. The prophetic vision given to Ezekiel often points to a messianic age, a time when God's kingdom will be fully realized. The phrase underscores the importance of divine timing and God's sovereign plan in the unfolding of redemptive history.<p><b>the prince</b><br />The identity of "the prince" in Ezekiel's vision has been the subject of much theological discussion. In a conservative Christian perspective, this prince is often seen as a leader or ruler in the restored Israel, possibly a messianic figure. The Hebrew word used here, "nasi," can mean a leader or chief, and it emphasizes the role of leadership in spiritual and communal life. This prince is distinct from the high priest, yet he plays a crucial role in the religious life of the people.<p><b>is to provide</b><br />This phrase indicates an obligation or duty. The prince has a responsibility to ensure that the necessary offerings are made. This reflects the biblical principle that leaders are accountable for the spiritual well-being of their people. It also highlights the importance of sacrificial offerings in maintaining a right relationship with God, a theme that runs throughout the Old Testament.<p><b>a bull</b><br />The bull is a significant animal in the sacrificial system of ancient Israel. It was often used for sin offerings, especially for leaders and the community, as seen in Leviticus. The choice of a bull signifies the gravity of sin and the need for a substantial offering to atone for it. In the context of Ezekiel, it symbolizes the need for purification and reconciliation with God.<p><b>as a sin offering</b><br />The sin offering is a critical component of the sacrificial system, designed to atone for unintentional sins and restore the sinner to a state of purity before God. The Hebrew term "chatat" refers to this type of offering, emphasizing the need for cleansing from sin. In Ezekiel's vision, the sin offering underscores the ongoing need for atonement and the hope of ultimate redemption through the Messiah.<p><b>for himself</b><br />This phrase highlights the personal responsibility of the prince. Even leaders are not exempt from the need for atonement. It serves as a reminder that all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, as stated in <a href="/romans/3-23.htm">Romans 3:23</a>. The prince's offering for himself signifies humility and acknowledgment of his own need for God's grace and forgiveness.<p><b>and for all the people of the land</b><br />The inclusion of "all the people of the land" emphasizes the communal aspect of sin and atonement. It reflects the biblical understanding that sin affects not just individuals but the entire community. The prince's role in providing the offering for the people signifies his intercessory role and the unity of the community in seeking God's forgiveness and favor. This communal aspect points to the ultimate fulfillment in Christ, who offered Himself for the sins of the whole world.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/ellicott/ezekiel/45.htm">Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers</a></div>(22) <span class= "bld">A bullock for a sin offering.</span>--In <a href="/ezekiel/45-21.htm" title="In the first month, in the fourteenth day of the month, you shall have the passover, a feast of seven days; unleavened bread shall be eaten.">Ezekiel 45:21</a> the Passover is appointed quite in accordance with the Mosaic institution, although there is a peculiarity in the language of the original which has led some writers to infer, unnecessarily, that the feast was to be kept for seven weeks. But the sacrifices are in many respects quite different. Nothing is said of the Paschal lamb itself: but this may be because it was understood as a matter of course. The sin offering by the Mosaic law (<a href="/numbers/28-17.htm" title="And in the fifteenth day of this month is the feast: seven days shall unleavened bread be eaten.">Numbers 28:17</a>; <a href="/numbers/28-22.htm" title="And one goat for a sin offering, to make an atonement for you.">Numbers 28:22</a>) was to be a he-goat for each day; here, a bullock for the first day, and a he-goat for the other days (<a href="/ezekiel/45-23.htm" title="And seven days of the feast he shall prepare a burnt offering to the LORD, seven bullocks and seven rams without blemish daily the seven days; and a kid of the goats daily for a sin offering.">Ezekiel 45:23</a>). The burnt offering by the law was to be two bullocks, a ram, and seven yearling lambs for each day; here, seven bullocks and seven rams. The meat offering was to be three-tenths of an ephah of meal, mixed with oil, for each bullock, two-tenths for each ram, and one-tenth for each lamb, or one and a half ephahs in all daily; here, a whole ephah for each victim, making in all fourteen ephahs daily and as many hins of oil (<a href="/ezekiel/45-24.htm" title="And he shall prepare a meat offering of an ephah for a bullock, and an ephah for a ram, and an hin of oil for an ephah.">Ezekiel 45:24</a>). The offerings required here therefore are much richer than under the law.<p><div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/ezekiel/45.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div><span class="cmt_sub_title">Verse 22.</span> - The first day of the feast proper, <span class="accented">i.e.</span> the fourteenth, should be distinguished by the prince's presenting, <span class="cmt_word">for himself and for all the people of the land, a bullock for a sin offering.</span> That this was a deviation from the earlier Mosaic legislation in three particulars is apparent. In, the first place, the "sin offering" here prescribed was manifestly to take precedence of the Paschal feast proper, whereas in the Paschal festival of the so-called priest-code the daffy sacrifices were appointed to begin on the fifteenth after the Paschal lamb had been slain and eaten (<a href="/leviticus/23-8.htm">Leviticus 23:8</a>). In the second place, the sin offering was to consist of a bullock instead of a he-goat as formerly (<a href="/numbers/28-22.htm">Numbers 28:22</a>). In the third place, it was not intended to be renewed on each of the seven following days of the feast, but was designed, by repeating the sacrifice of the first and seventh days, to connect these with the fourteenth, on which the feast proper opened. <span class="p"><br /><br /></span><span class="versiontext"><a href="/commentaries/ezekiel/45-22.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a></span><span class="p"><br /><br /><br /></span><a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div><span class="word">On that</span><br /><span class="heb">הַה֔וּא</span> <span class="translit">(ha·hū)</span><br /><span class="parse">Article | Pronoun -
