This is the oblation that ye shall offer; 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:
Here's what you need to bring as your offering: take a sixth of your wheat harvest and a sixth of your barley harvest.
God's asking for a specific portion of your harvest, he's not vague about what he wants from you.
