Ezekiel 46:5 Summary
Ezekiel 46:5 talks about the grain offering that was given to God along with the ram and lambs. The grain offering was a way to say thank you to God for all He has done, similar to the sacrifices mentioned in Leviticus 2:1-2. Just like the prince in this verse, we can show our gratitude to God by giving our best to Him, as seen in 2 Corinthians 9:7, where it says each should give as they are able. By doing so, we can worship God with our whole hearts and lives, just as Romans 12:1 encourages us to offer our bodies as living sacrifices.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the significance of the grain offering in Ezekiel 46:5?
The grain offering in Ezekiel 46:5 represents a gesture of thanksgiving and worship to the Lord, as seen in other parts of the Bible such as Leviticus 2:1-2, where grain offerings were used to express gratitude and devotion to God.
Why does the amount of grain offering vary between the ram and the lambs in Ezekiel 46:5?
The amount of grain offering varies because the ram requires a fixed amount of one ephah, while the lambs' offering is based on the ability of the one presenting the offering, as stated in Ezekiel 46:5, similar to the principle of giving in 2 Corinthians 9:7, where each gives as they are able.
What is the purpose of the hin of oil per ephah in Ezekiel 46:5?
The hin of oil per ephah serves as a symbol of God's abundance and blessing, much like the oil used in Exodus 30:24, where it was used for anointing and consecration, highlighting the sacred nature of the offerings.
How does the grain offering in Ezekiel 46:5 relate to our worship today?
The grain offering in Ezekiel 46:5 reminds us that our worship should be a heartfelt expression of gratitude, as seen in Romans 12:1, where we are called to offer our bodies as living sacrifices, and in Hebrews 13:15-16, where we are encouraged to offer sacrifices of praise and do good deeds.
Reflection Questions

Gill's Exposition on Ezekiel 46:5
And the meat offering shall be an ephah for a ram,.... [See comments on Ezekiel 45:24]: and the meat offering for the lambs as he shall be able to give; or, and "the gift of his hand" (k); it was
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Ezekiel 46:5
Likewise the people of the land shall worship at the door of this gate before the LORD in the sabbaths and in the new moons. No JFB commentary on these verses.
Matthew Poole's Commentary on Ezekiel 46:5
An ephah, three bushels of meal, for each ram. As he shall be able to give; rather, as he shall see good, as much as he thinks fit in decency or in bounty. An hin; one gallon and a pint, for an hin did contain twelve logs, and each log contained three quarters of a pint, or thereabouts. To an ephah; which was three times eight gallons, for each ephah contained three bushels: see . So then one gallon and one pint of oil was required as proportion to three bushels of meal in the meat-offering.
Trapp's Commentary on Ezekiel 46:5
Ezekiel 46:5 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.Ver. 5. As he shall be able to give.] Heb., The gift of his hand. Some render it, According as it shall be given unto his hand - i.e., as God shall put into his heart to give; and here he is not tied, as in the law, to such a proportion, but left to his Christian liberty.
Cambridge Bible on Ezekiel 46:5
Ezekiel 46:1-7. Offerings for the Sabbath and new moon The prince was under obligation, besides providing for the great festivals of unleavened bread or passover and tabernacles (Ezekiel 45:21; Ezekiel 45:25), and for the special new moons in the first and seventh months (Ezekiel 45:18; Ezekiel 45:20), to furnish offerings also for the sabbaths and the ordinary new moons. The east gate of the inner court was kept shut six days of the week (the outer was always shut), but opened on the sabbaths and also on the new moons (Ezekiel 46:1). On these days the prince came by way of the porch and advanced as far as the door-posts of the inner gate, where he worshipped while the priests were offering the burnt and peace-offerings (Ezekiel 46:2). The gate remained open till the evening. While the prince could come as far as the threshold of the inner gate the people stood without before the inner east gate to worship (Ezekiel 46:3).
Barnes' Notes on Ezekiel 46:5
As he shall be able to give - Rather, “as he shall be willing to give.” So also in Ezekiel 46:7.
