Ezekiel 46:7 Made Simple

KJV ORIGINAL

And he shall prepare a meat offering, an ephah for a bullock, and an ephah for a ram, and for the lambs according as his hand shall attain unto, and an hin of oil to an ephah.

Close to the original. Clear modern English.

✦ MADE SIMPLE

He needs to bring grain offerings along with the sacrifices — about a bushel of grain for each bull and each ram, and whatever he can afford for the lambs, plus a quart of oil mixed with each bushel of grain.

⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE

God cares about both your sacrifice and your heart — give what you can, but don't skip the details that matter.
