And the meat offering shall be an ephah for a ram, and the meat offering for the lambs as he shall be able to give, and an hin of oil to an ephah.
The grain offering should be about a bushel for each ram, and for the lambs, give whatever you can afford. Add a gallon of oil for every bushel of grain.
Give what you can afford, God sees your heart, not your wallet size.
📚 Historical Context
Ezekiel was a prophet during the Babylonian exile, receiving visions about the future restoration of Israel and its temple after the people's judgment for idolatry. In Ezekiel 46, he outlines specific regulations for offerings in this idealized temple, emphasizing structured worship as a symbol of God's renewed covenant and the importance of devotion in Israelite society. These details, like the measurements of grain and oil, reflect the cultural emphasis on precise rituals to maintain purity and honor God.
