Historical Commentaries

Scholarly Analysis and Interpretation.

All the oxen for the burnt offering were twelve bullocks,.... According to the number of the princes and their tribes, and so:
the rams twelve, the lambs of the first year twelve; which were also for the burnt offering:
with their meat offering; which always went along with the burnt offering:
and the kids of the goats, for a sin offering, twelve; thus the twelve princes, and by them the twelve tribes, expressed their faith in Christ, the antitype of those sacrifices, and their hope of his coming into the world to be a sacrifice for sin, and of their atonement, reconciliation, peace, pardon, and salvation by him; see Acts 26:6.

Their meal - offering - Which was not mentioned before, because it was sufficiently understood from the law which required it.
