9463. 'And this is the offering which you shall take from them' means that those requirements are altogether indispensable. This is clear from the meaning of 'offering' as requirements, as above in 9459, 9461. The reason why it means that they are altogether indispensable is that the word 'offering' is now used for a third time, and such repetition implies that they are a necessity.
