Ezequiel 45:13 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 45:13

This is the oblation that ye shall offer
Not at the dedication of the temple, to be built in time to come, as Kimchi thinks; nor for the daily sacrifices, as others; but for the maintenance of the priests, that is, the ministers of the Gospel; for here begin the rules for the right ordering of ecclesiastical affairs of those times: the sixth part of an ephah of an homer of wheat, and ye shall give the
sixth part of an ephah of an homer of barley:
this confirms that an "ephah" was for dry measure, of wheat and barley; and as it was the tenth part of an homer, a sixtieth part of an homer of wheat and barley was to be given for this service; that is, if a man had an homer of wheat or of barley, he was to give a sixtieth part of it for the use of the ministers of the Lord: the meaning is, that the people should give freely and liberally, according to their substance, for their support and maintenance,

Ezequiel 45:13 In-Context

11 A efa e o bato serão duma mesma medida, de maneira que o bato contenha a décima parte do hômer, e a efa a décima parte do hômer; o hômer será a medida padrão.
12 E o siclo será de vinte jeiras; cinco siclos serão cinco siclos, e dez siclos serão dez; a vossa mina será de cinqüenta siclos.
13 Esta será a oferta que haveis de fazer: a sexta parte duma efa de cada hômer de trigo; também dareis a sexta parte duma efa de cada hômer de cevada;
14 quanto � porção fixa do azeite, de cada bato de azeite oferecereis a décima parte do bato tirado dum coro, que é dez batos, a saber, um hômer; pois dez batos fazem um hômer;
15 e um cordeiro do rebanho, de cada duzentos, de todas as famílias de Israel, para oferta de cereais, e para holocausto, e para oferta pacífica, para que façam expiação por eles, diz o Senhor Deus.
