A Symbolic, Perfect Covenant
Commentators note that the sacrificial requirements here differ from the Mosaic law. They see this not as a contradiction, but as a sign that Ezekiel's vision is symbolic. The repeated use of the number seven (seven bullocks, seven rams, for seven days) is seen to represent a new and 'perfect' covenant, pointing toward the era of Christ rather than a literal temple blueprint.
