“And on the eighth day he shall take two he lambs without blemish, and one ewe lamb of the first year without blemish, and three tenth deals of fine flour for a meat offering, mingled with oil, and one log of oil.”
On the eighth day they must bring two male lambs and one ewe lamb a year old, each without defect, along with three-tenths of an ephah of the finest flour mixed with olive oil for a grain offering, and one log of olive oil. The eighth day — the new beginning day — brings the elaborate offering package for the final restoration ceremony: two male lambs (for the guilt offering and the burnt offering), one ewe lamb (for the sin offering), grain offering flour and oil, and a log of olive oil. The comprehensiveness of the offering package for the restored person communicates the significance of the restoration: full reintegration into the covenant community's worship requires the full range of the offering system.
