Ezekiel 45:24

24 And he shall make the sacrifice of ephah by a calf, and of ephah by a wether, and of oil the measure hin, by each ephah. (And he shall provide a sacrifice of an ephah of grain with each calf, and with each ram, and the measure of a hin of oil with each ephah.)

Ezekiel 45:24 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 45:24

And he shall prepare a meat offering of an ephah for a
bullock Of the meat offering, (See Gill on Ezekiel 45:17), this was to consist of an ephah of fine flour; and for every bullock on each of the seven days of the passover was a meat offering of such a quantity to be made: and an ephah for a ram;
a like quantity of fine flour was to be made into a meat offering for every ram on the same days: and an hin of oil for an ephah;
to every ephah of fine flour was, to be allowed an hin of oil, which, according to Bishop Cumberland, was a gallon and two pints, being the sixth part of an ephah or bath: here also, as Kimchi observes, will be an innovation in the offerings in future times, whether we will or not, he says; and Jarchi confesses his ignorance of these things; since, according to the law, three tenth parts of an ephah of fine flour were only allowed to make a meat offering for one bullock, and two tenth parts for a ram, ( Numbers 28:12 ) , this may denote the more abundance of grace, and of the knowledge of Christ, under the Gospel dispensation, and especially in the latter day glory.

22 And the prince shall make (ready) a calf for sin in that day, for himself and for all the people of the land. (And on that day, the prince shall provide a calf for a sin offering, for himself and for all the people of the land.)

(And for the seven days of the feast he shall provide a burnt sacrifice to the Lord; for seven days, each day he shall offer seven calves and seven rams without blemish, or without fault, and also each day a goat-buck for a sin offering.)
24 And he shall make the sacrifice of ephah by a calf, and of ephah by a wether, and of oil the measure hin, by each ephah. (And he shall provide a sacrifice of an ephah of grain with each calf, and with each ram, and the measure of a hin of oil with each ephah.)
25 In the seventh month, in the fifteenth day of the month, in the solemnity, he shall make as those be before-said, by seven days, as well for sin, as for burnt sacrifice, and in sacrifice, and in oil. (And in the seventh month, on the fifteenth day of the month, for the seven days of the feast, he shall provide what was before-said, that is, the sin offering, and the burnt sacrifice, and the grain sacrifice, and the oil.)
