In Ezekiel 46, part of these visions, he outlines specific regulations for worship, including sacrifices on the new moon, which was a monthly holy day in ancient Israelite culture for renewing covenant relationship with God. These instructions emphasized the need for unblemished animals to symbolize purity and the holiness required in approaching God.
