Exegetical and Hermeneutical Commentary of Ezekiel 45:14
Concerning the ordinance of oil, the bath of oil, [ye shall offer] the tenth part of a bath out of the kor, [which is] a homer of ten baths; for ten baths [are] a homer:
14. The cor was another name for the homer, 1Ki 5:2; 2Ch 2:9; 2Ch 27:5.
which is a homer baths ] ten baths are an homer. The words are wanting in LXX. The due in oil was one-hundredth part.

Now forasmuch as oil was always offered with the meat-offering, here is direction what quantity shall be used at each offering.
The bath of oil; which contained about twenty-four gallons, or very near it.
The tenth part; so the quantity of oil by this account will be two gallons, three pints, and a little more.
The cor; which is here said to be an homer: these were two names of one and the same measure, and described by the baths it contained.

Concerning the ordinance of oil, the bath of oil,…. This shows that the bath was for liquid measure; and as oil was a part of food with the Jews, as well as used in their offerings, a rule is given for the distribution of that to the Lord’s ministers, that they may have everything convenient for them:
ye shall offer the tenth part of a bath out of a cor; which was the same measure with the “homer”, only another name for it, as follows:
which is an homer of ten baths, for ten baths are an homer; so that if a man had an homer or ten baths of oil, he was to give a hundredth part of it for the use of the priests and Levites, or ministers of the word; a greater portion of wheat or barley is given than of oil, because there is a greater expense in families of the one than of the other.

(14) The cor.This measure is first met with in 1Ki. 4:22; 1Ki. 5:11; 2Ch. 2:10; 2Ch. 27:5, and is here fixed as exactly equal to the Homer. In the English it is always translated elsewhere measure.

Eze 45:14. The oil in use was olive oil and it was valuable because of its many purposes. It furnished light, was used as food and was valuable for medical treatment. The offering of it was therefore the giving of a thing of value. A cor was a deep round vessel in which the olive oil was stored.
