Komentaryong Sumisipi para sa Ezekiel 46:4

וְהָ֣עֹלָ֔ה אֲשֶׁר־יַקְרִ֥ב הַנָּשִׂ֖יא לַֽיהוָ֑ה בְּי֣וֹם הַשַּׁבָּ֗ת שִׁשָּׁ֧ה כְבָשִׂ֛ים תְּמִימִ֖ם וְאַ֥יִל תָּמִֽים׃

Ang handog na susunugin na ihahandog ng pinuno sa Walang-Hanggan sa araw ng Sabbath ay anim na korderong walang kapintasan at isang lalaking tupang walang kapintasan.

Rabbeinu Bahya

According to the plain meaning of the text, the reason that the inaugural sacrifices comprised both burnt-offerings, sin-offerings as well as peace-offerings, was that the sin-offering was in order to obtain atonement for any desecration of the Altar that might have occurred by oversights in these various procedures. The Torah had already spelled this out in 34,15 ויקדשהו לכפר עליו, “he sanctified it (the Altar) in order to enable it to serve as a source of atonement.” The reason the Priests had to offer the burnt-offerings was in order to establish G’d’s goodwill vis-a-vis the Priests. The peace-offerings formed part of the inaugural procedures in order to express thanks to the Lord for His having given the Jewish people the means to establish close relations with Him through the presence of the Tabernacle and everything connected with it.
When you examine what Maimonides writes in Maasseh Ha-Korbanot 2,14 you will find that when the Temple of the future will be inaugurated similar inaugural procedures will take place when the Altar will be consecrated. In fact, according to Moed Katan 9, these rites will override the Sabbath and those offerings will be offered on the Altar also on the Sabbath. All of this is spelled out in Ezekiel 46,4. May the Lord grant us that we see the fulfillment of all these promises including the rebuilding of the Holy Temple soon in our days. May Isaiah’s prophecy (Isaiah 60,7) “all the flocks of Kedar shall be assembled for you, the rams of Nebaioth shall serve your needs; they shall be welcome offerings on My Altar, and I will add glory to My glorious House,” be fulfilled speedily.
