Along with these sacrifices, you must also bring a grain offering made of flour mixed with oil: offer three-tenths of an ephah for each bull, and two-tenths of an ephah for each ram.

⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE

God is giving specific instructions about the grain offerings that must accompany the animal sacrifices - different amounts of flour and oil for different animals.

📚 Historical Context

This verse is part of God's detailed instructions to Moses about the daily, weekly, and festival sacrifices that the Israelites were to offer at the tabernacle. These grain offerings (flour mixed with oil) were always offered alongside animal sacrifices as part of the complete worship system. An ephah was a Hebrew unit of dry measure, roughly equivalent to about 22 liters or 5.8 gallons.
