Scholars note that the sacrificial rules in this vision intentionally differ from the Mosaic Law. For example, a bullock is used for a sin offering instead of a goat. This indicates that Ezekiel's vision is not a literal blueprint for a future temple, but a symbolic representation of a new and perfect form of worship.
