And in the day of the new moon it shall be a young bullock without blemish, &c.] This is also different from the law of Moses, which required two young bullocks and a ram, and seven lambs, (<042811>Numbers 28:11), whereas here only one bullock: and six lambs, and a ram; they shall be without blemish; and here Kimchi acknowledges again that this is a new thing to be done in future time. Some have observed, that the seven lambs under the law showed that perfection might be hoped for and expected; but, there being but six now, that this is not yet attained, nor will be till the saints get to heaven; though perfection is come by the priesthood of Christ, whose sacrifice is a perfect and complete one, and by which his people are perfected, and they are complete in him, yet they have no perfection in themselves.
