54 On the eighth day Gamaliel, the son of Pedahzur, the leader of the men of Manasseh:
55 his offering was one silver plate, whose weight was a hundred and thirty shekels, one silver basin of seventy shekels, according to the shekel of the sanctuary, both of them full of fine flour mixed with oil for a cereal offering;
56 one golden dish of ten shekels, full of incense;
57 one young bull, one ram, one male lamb a year old, for a burnt offering;
58 one male goat for a sin offering;
59 and for the sacrifice of peace offerings, two oxen, five rams, five male goats, and five male lambs a year old. This was the offering of Gamaliel, the son of Pedahzur.
Gamaliel means guidance of God. The sacrifices he makes symbolize letting go of the past. Specifically, it is letting go of past mistakes and issues, thereby freeing your mind from them. The plate of flour here symbolizes the current beliefs about the individual, God, and the Universe. The flour mixed with oil symbolizes the old subconscious tendencies that are not in accord with the Divine. The cereal offering represents balancing of the Masculine and Feminine ways of knowing (Intellect and Intuition). The dish full of incense symbolizes the Soul reaching for the Divine. The bull and ram symbolize, respectively, the initial belief and the ideas in the mind that follow that way of thinking. Sacrificing them in a burnt offering symbolizes completely changing one’s way of thinking. The peace offerings symbolize those things that must be sacrificed in order to attain peace of mind: The two oxen symbolize the way of thinking that supports Materialism. The rams symbolize the consciousness that was raised up by this way of thinking. The Five male goats symbolize stubbornness and refusal to change. The male lambs symbolize the beginning ideas of false beliefs (those that are not in accord with Spiritual laws). Letting go of these things is what is needed to truly free your mind. It must be done through divine guidance, however. This guidance is symbolized by Gamaliel.

64 one male goat for a sin offering;
65 and for the sacrifice of peace offerings, two oxen, five rams, five male goats, and five male lambs a year old. This was the offering of Abidan the son of Gideoni.
