Verse Meaning

On the fifteenth day of the seventh month, at the feast on that day, the prince would repeat the cycle of offerings he made during the Passover. This feast corresponds to the seven-day feast of Tabernacles under the Mosaic system (cf. Leviticus 23:39-43; Numbers 29:12-38). In the Millennium it will undoubtedly be a celebration of God"s faithfulness in bringing the Israelites securely and permanently into the Promised Land, which the feast of Tabernacles anticipated.
Other feasts of Israel in the past receive no mention in Ezekiel"s revelation concerning future worship: Firstfruits, Pentecost (Harvest, Weeks), Trumpets, and day of Atonement. Probably they will be absent in the future millennial system of worship. Some scholars believe that by describing only two of the feasts (Passover/Unleavened Bread and Tabernacles) Ezekiel was using a figure of speech (merism) and meant the reader to understand all the others. It Isaiah , of course, a dangerous interpretive practice to assume that the writer intended something that he did not state, especially when so much detail characterizes this portion of Ezekiel. However, this interpretation is possible.
