Quick answer
The same week-long pattern of offerings is to be kept at the autumn feast (Tabernacles) beginning on the fifteenth of the seventh month. It shows that God orders the worship of His people across the whole festal calendar.
Overview
Closing the regulations for the prince's role in the festivals, this verse parallels the Passover provisions (45:21-24) and applies the same generous offerings to the seventh-month feast. Atonement and consecration frame Israel's worship year-round in this restored temple vision. The continual need for sin and burnt offerings points ahead to Christ, whose single sacrifice fulfills all that these shadows pictured (Heb. 10:1-14).
