Study note
Setting — The Lord GOD speaks through Ezekiel to the prince and the community, detailing the daily temple ritual requirements. This instruction immediately follows the morning grain offering measurements and precedes regulations concerning princely inheritance.
The words — The verb יַעֲשׂ֨וּ (ya'asu) literally means "they will offer," and בַּ/בֹּ֣קֶר (ba./boker) fixes the timing as "in the morning." These terms ground the command in a specific, repeated action involving a lamb, grain offering, and oil.
The thread — The mandate for a consistent morning burnt offering is established in Exodus 29:42 and Numbers 28:6 as a permanent statute. Hebrews 10:1 later notes that such repeated sacrifices function as a shadow rather than the ultimate reality.
Why it lands — The text explicitly commands the daily provision of a lamb, grain offering, and oil as a fixed ritual. A reader must recognize the requirement for unvarying obedience to the prescribed schedule and components.
