In the context of ancient Israel, sheep were a vital part of the agrarian economy, providing wool, meat, and milk. Spiritually, sheep often symbolize innocence and purity, and they are frequently used in sacrificial contexts throughout the Old Testament. The specification of "one sheep" underscores the principle of offering a portion of one's resources back to God, a practice that reflects gratitude and acknowledgment of God's provision.from every flock of two hundred This phrase indicates a specific ratio, suggesting a systematic and fair approach to offerings. The number "two hundred" may not have a specific symbolic meaning but rather serves to illustrate a manageable and equitable portion for the people to contribute. It reflects the idea that God’s requirements are reasonable and considerate of the people's capacity. This also emphasizes the communal responsibility in worship and sacrifice, where each member of the community contributes to the collective offering.from the well-watered pastures of Israel The "well-watered pastures" signify fertile and productive land, a blessing from God. In the arid climate of the Near East, water was a precious resource, and well-watered areas were seen as particularly valuable. This phrase highlights the abundance and prosperity that God provides to His people. It also serves as a reminder that the offerings to God should come from the best of what He has given, reflecting the principle of giving God the firstfruits of our labor.These will be used for the grain offerings, burnt offerings, and peace offerings The mention of "grain offerings, burnt offerings, and peace offerings" refers to different types of sacrifices prescribed in the Mosaic Law. Each type of offering had a distinct purpose: grain offerings were expressions of thanksgiving, burnt offerings symbolized atonement and dedication to God, and peace offerings represented fellowship and reconciliation. Together, they encompass a holistic approach to worship, involving gratitude, repentance, and communion with God. This comprehensive sacrificial system points to the multifaceted relationship between God and His people.to make atonement for the people Atonement, from the Hebrew "kaphar," means to cover or reconcile. In the Old Testament, atonement was achieved through the sacrificial system, which foreshadowed the ultimate atonement through Jesus Christ. This phrase underscores the necessity of atonement for maintaining a right relationship with God. It reflects the seriousness of sin and the need for a divinely instituted means of reconciliation, pointing forward to the New Testament fulfillment in Christ's sacrificial death.declares the Lord GOD This phrase, often rendered as "declares the Sovereign LORD," emphasizes the authority and sovereignty of God. The use of "declares" (Hebrew "ne'um") signifies a prophetic utterance, underscoring that these instructions are not merely human traditions but divine mandates. The title "Lord GOD" (YHWH Elohim) combines the covenant name of God with a term denoting His power and majesty, reminding the reader of God's faithfulness and His ultimate authority over all creation. This declaration assures the people that the instructions given are part of God's divine plan and purpose for His people. <a href="/commentaries/ezekiel/45-15.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a> <a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div>And מִן־ (min-) Preposition <a href="/hebrew/strongs_4480.htm">Strong's 4480: </a> A part of, from, out of one אַחַ֨ת (’a·ḥaṯ) Number - feminine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_259.htm">Strong's 259: </a> United, one, first sheep shall be given וְשֶׂה־ (wə·śeh-) Conjunctive waw | Noun - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_7716.htm">Strong's 7716: </a> A member of a, flock, a sheep, goat from [each] flock הַצֹּ֤אן (haṣ·ṣōn) Article | Noun - common singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_6629.htm">Strong's 6629: </a> Small cattle, sheep and goats, flock of מִן־ (min-) Preposition <a href="/hebrew/strongs_4480.htm">Strong's 4480: </a> A part of, from, out of two hundred הַמָּאתַ֙יִם֙ (ham·mā·ṯa·yim) Article | Number - fd <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3967.htm">Strong's 3967: </a> A hundred from the well-watered pastures מִמַּשְׁקֵ֣ה (mim·maš·qêh) Preposition-m | Noun - masculine singular construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_4945.htm">Strong's 4945: </a> Causing to drink, a butler, drink, a well-watered region of Israel. יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל (yiś·rā·’êl) Noun - proper - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3478.htm">Strong's 3478: </a> Israel -- 'God strives', another name of Jacob and his desc These are for the grain offerings, לְמִנְחָ֖ה (lə·min·ḥāh) Preposition-l | Noun - feminine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_4503.htm">Strong's 4503: </a> A donation, tribute, a sacrificial offering burnt offerings, וּלְעוֹלָ֣ה (ū·lə·‘ō·w·lāh) Conjunctive waw, Preposition-l | Noun - feminine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_5930.htm">Strong's 5930: </a> Whole burnt offering and peace offerings, וְלִשְׁלָמִ֑ים (wə·liš·lā·mîm) Conjunctive waw, Preposition-l | Noun - masculine plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_8002.htm">Strong's 8002: </a> A sacrifice for alliance or friendship, peace offering to make atonement לְכַפֵּ֣ר (lə·ḵap·pêr) Preposition-l | Verb - Piel - Infinitive construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3722.htm">Strong's 3722: </a> To cover, to expiate, condone, to placate, cancel for the people, עֲלֵיהֶ֔ם (‘ă·lê·hem) Preposition | third person masculine plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_5921.htm">Strong's 5921: </a> Above, over, upon, against declares נְאֻ֖ם (nə·’um) Noun - masculine singular construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_5002.htm">Strong's 5002: </a> An oracle the Lord אֲדֹנָ֥י (’ă·ḏō·nāy) Noun - proper - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_136.htm">Strong's 136: </a> The Lord GOD. יְהוִֽה׃ (Yah·weh) Noun - proper - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3069.htm">Strong's 3069: </a> YHWH <div class="vheading">Links</div><a href="/niv/ezekiel/45-15.htm">Ezekiel 45:15 NIV</a> <a href="/nlt/ezekiel/45-15.htm">Ezekiel 45:15 NLT</a> <a href="/esv/ezekiel/45-15.htm">Ezekiel 45:15 ESV</a> <a href="/nasb/ezekiel/45-15.htm">Ezekiel 45:15 NASB</a> <a href="/kjv/ezekiel/45-15.htm">Ezekiel 45:15 KJV</a> <a href="//bibleapps.com/ezekiel/45-15.htm">Ezekiel 45:15 BibleApps.com</a> <a href="//bibliaparalela.com/ezekiel/45-15.htm">Ezekiel 45:15 Biblia Paralela</a> <a href="//holybible.com.cn/ezekiel/45-15.htm">Ezekiel 45:15 Chinese Bible</a> <a href="//saintebible.com/ezekiel/45-15.htm">Ezekiel 45:15 French Bible</a> <a href="/catholic/ezekiel/45-15.htm">Ezekiel 45:15 Catholic Bible</a> <a href="/ezekiel/45-15.htm">OT Prophets: Ezekiel 45:15 And one lamb of the flock out (Ezek.
