Ezekiel 46:11-15

11 At the festivals and appointed feasts, the grain offering shall be an ephah with a bull, an ephah with a ram, and as much as one is able to give with the lambs, along with a hin of oil per ephah.

12 When the prince makes a freewill offering to the LORD, whether a burnt offering or a peace offering, the gate facing east must be opened for him. He is to offer his burnt offering or peace offering just as he does on the Sabbath day. Then he shall go out, and the gate must be closed after he goes out.

13 And you shall provide an unblemished year-old lamb as a daily burnt offering to the LORD; you are to offer it every morning.

14 You are also to provide with it every morning a grain offering of a sixth of an ephah ^[a] with a third of a hin of oil ^[b] to moisten the fine flour—a grain offering to the LORD. This is a permanent statute.

15 Thus they shall provide the lamb, the grain offering, and the oil every morning as a regular burnt offering.’
