Context — Offerings and Feasts
14The prescribed portion of oil, measured by the bath, is a tenth of a bath from each cor (a cor consists of ten baths or one homer, since ten baths are equivalent to a homer).
15And one sheep shall be given from each flock of two hundred from the well-watered pastures of Israel. These are for the grain offerings, burnt offerings, and peace offerings, to make atonement for the people, declares the Lord GOD.
16All the people of the land must participate in this contribution for the prince in Israel.
17And it shall be the prince’s part to provide the burnt offerings, grain offerings, and drink offerings for the feasts, New Moons, and Sabbaths—for all the appointed feasts of the house of Israel. He will provide the sin offerings, grain offerings, burnt offerings, and peace offerings to make atonement for the house of Israel. 18This is what the Lord GOD says: ‘On the first day of the first month you are to take a young bull without blemish and purify the sanctuary.Cross References

Ezekiel 45:16 Summary
This verse, Ezekiel 45:16, means that everyone in the land of Israel is required to contribute to the prince's portion, which is used to support the spiritual needs of the people. This contribution is part of the larger system of worship and sacrifices in Israel, as described in Leviticus 1:1-7, and is similar to the tithe mentioned in Malachi 3:10. It teaches us about the importance of contributing to the spiritual well-being of our community, as seen in Acts 2:45, and the role of leaders in providing for the spiritual needs of their people, as seen in 1 Timothy 5:17-18. By contributing to the needs of others, we can demonstrate our love and commitment to God and to our community, as Jesus taught in Matthew 25:40.

Gill's Exposition on Ezekiel 45:16
All the people of the land shall give this oblation,.... None shall be exempted from it; all according to their capacity and ability shall contribute to the support of the ministry, and the service
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Ezekiel 45:16
All the people of the land shall give this oblation for the prince in Israel. No JFB commentary on these verses.
Matthew Poole's Commentary on Ezekiel 45:16
The plain and summary meaning of this verse is, that this daily sacrifice should be, as for the people and the prince, so should it be provided by a common purse of prince and people, all should contribute to this charge. Though some think the people were to give this, and the prince to give a like share; and I know some think that this prince is the high priest, and that all the people, joining and contributing to this sacrifice, are here bound to bring it to the high priest.
Trapp's Commentary on Ezekiel 45:16
Ezekiel 45:16 All the people of the land shall give this oblation for the prince in Israel.Ver. 16. For the prince,] i.e., Upon a levy made by the prince for that purpose. Of these oblations, prefiguring evangelical sacrifices, the use followeth, it being first premised what the prince should do over and above these offerings of wheat, barley, oil, and lambs.
Adam Clarke's Commentary on Ezekiel 45:16
Verse 16. All-this oblation for the prince] A present or offering to the prince.
Cambridge Bible on Ezekiel 45:16
16. A.V. margins on this verse ought to be deleted. The words “all the people of the land” are anomalous grammatically; LXX. omits “of the land.”
