Ezra 6:9 - Exposition

Both young bullocks, and rams, and lambs . These were the chief sacrificial animals of the Jews—a lamb being required every morning and evening, two more on the sabbath, seven at each of the great feasts and at the beginning of each mouth, and fourteen on every day during the feast of tabernacles, altogether more than a thousand in the course of the year; and rams and bullocks being joined with the lambs on the more solemn occasions. The only other ordinary sacrificial animal was "a kid of the goats ." Wheat, salt, wine, and oil were needed for the "meat offerings" by which every burnt offering was accompanied ( Exodus 29:40 , Exodus 29:41 ; Le Exodus 2:13 , etc.). Let it be given them day by day . Since sacrifice was offered every day.
