Context — The Prince’s Offerings
12When the prince makes a freewill offering to the LORD, whether a burnt offering or a peace offering, the gate facing east must be opened for him. He is to offer his burnt offering or peace offering just as he does on the Sabbath day. Then he shall go out, and the gate must be closed after he goes out.
13And you shall provide an unblemished year-old lamb as a daily burnt offering to the LORD; you are to offer it every morning.
14You are also to provide with it every morning a grain offering of a sixth of an ephah with a third of a hin of oil to moisten the fine flour—a grain offering to the LORD. This is a permanent statute.
15Thus they shall provide the lamb, the grain offering, and the oil every morning as a regular burnt offering.’ 16This is what the Lord GOD says: ‘If the prince gives a gift to any of his sons as an inheritance, it will belong to his descendants. It will become their property by inheritance.Cross References

Ezekiel 46:14 Summary
[Ezekiel 46:14 tells us about a daily grain offering that the Israelites were to make to the Lord, which included a specific amount of flour and oil. This offering was a way for the people to show their devotion and worship to God every day, similar to the daily burnt offering mentioned in Ezekiel 46:13. By including oil to moisten the flour, the offering represented the nourishment and blessing that comes from God, and its designation as a 'permanent statute' emphasizes the importance of consistent and ongoing worship (as seen in Exodus 29:38-42). This reminds us that our worship and devotion to God should be a regular and intentional part of our lives, just like the daily offerings in the Old Testament.]
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the significance of the grain offering in Ezekiel 46:14?
The grain offering in Ezekiel 46:14 is a symbol of worship and dedication to the Lord, as seen in other passages like Leviticus 2:1-2, where grain offerings were a regular part of Israel's sacrificial system. This daily offering emphasizes the importance of consistent devotion to God.
Why is oil used to moisten the fine flour in this verse?
The use of oil to moisten the fine flour in Ezekiel 46:14 represents the anointing and blessing of God, similar to the anointing oil used in Exodus 30:23-33 to consecrate the priests and the tabernacle. This addition of oil signifies the spiritual nourishment and empowerment that comes from God.
What does it mean that this is a 'permanent statute'?
The description of this offering as a 'permanent statute' in Ezekiel 46:14 indicates that it is a lasting and unchanging requirement, much like the permanent statutes given to the Israelites in other contexts, such as Exodus 28:43, emphasizing the continuity and stability of God's commands.
How does this daily grain offering relate to our lives today?
While the specific details of the grain offering in Ezekiel 46:14 may not directly apply to modern Christian practice, the underlying principle of regular, dedicated worship and sacrifice is still relevant, as seen in Romans 12:1, where believers are called to offer themselves as living sacrifices to God.
Reflection Questions
- What does my daily life look like in terms of dedicated worship and sacrifice to God?
- How can I incorporate regular times of devotion and prayer into my daily routine, just as the Israelites were instructed to offer the daily grain offering?
- In what ways can I use my resources and abilities to 'moisten the fine flour' of my life, symbolizing the anointing and blessing of God?
- What are some 'permanent statutes' or unchanging principles in my life that reflect my commitment to following God's commands?
Gill's Exposition on Ezekiel 46:14
And thou shalt prepare a meat offering for morning,.... That is, for the daily burnt offering to go along with it; prayer and thanksgiving for our temporal and spiritual food, which should be done
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Ezekiel 46:14
Now when the prince shall prepare a voluntary burnt offering or peace offerings voluntarily unto the LORD, one shall then open him the gate that looketh toward the east, and he shall prepare his
Matthew Poole's Commentary on Ezekiel 46:14
A meat-offering: see . The sixth part of an ephah; half a bushel of fine meal. The third part of an hin; an hin held nine pints. Continually; morning by morning. A perpetual ordinance, to continue till the Messiah comes, who will set up a more spiritual worship.
Trapp's Commentary on Ezekiel 46:14
Ezekiel 46:14 And thou shalt prepare a meat offering for it every morning, the sixth part of an ephah, and the third part of an hin of oil, to temper with the fine flour; a meat offering continually by a perpetual ordinance unto the LORD.Ver. 14. The sixth part of an ephah.] This is also different from the Levitical ordinance, though R. Solomon here extremely troubleth himself, but to no purpose, to reconcile them.
Cambridge Bible on Ezekiel 46:14
14. to temper] Probably as R.V. to moisten, or, besprinkle the fine flour. Son 5:2, drops of the night.
Whedon's Commentary on Ezekiel 46:14
13-15. Instead of two lambs a day, one in the morning and one in the evening (Exodus 29:38-42; Numbers 28:1-8), the daily morning offering shall be one “yearling lamb without blemish,” and instead of
