Exegetical and Hermeneutical Commentary of Ezekiel 45:24
And he shall prepare a meat offering of an ephah for a bullock, and an ephah for a ram, and a hin of oil for an ephah.
And he, the prince,
shall prepare a meat-offering; for the sacrifice was not entire without this, and the text proportions this also: for each
bullock one
ephah of fine flour, three bushels and one half with the seven bullocks of the first day; and so for the rams; that is, seven bushels every day for seven days together, according to the number of rams and bullocks.
An hin of oil: this was about one gallon and three quarters of a pint.
For an ephah; to each ephah of meal. To every of the seven there were
Seven bullocks, seven ephahs, and seven hins of oil,
Seven rams, seven ephahs, and seven hins of oil;
Forty-nine of each kind of the beasts in the space of the seven days, and ninety-eight ephahs and as many hins with them: a greatly and costly service.

And he shall prepare a meat offering of an ephah for a bullock,…. Of the meat offering, [See comments on Eze 45:17], this was to consist of an ephah of fine flour; and for every bullock on each of the seven days of the passover was a meat offering of such a quantity to be made:
and an ephah for a ram; a like quantity of fine flour was to be made into a meat offering for every ram on the same days:
and an hin of oil for an ephah; to every ephah of fine flour was, to be allowed an hin of oil, which, according to Bishop Cumberland, was a gallon and two pints, being the sixth part of an ephah or bath: here also, as Kimchi observes, will be an innovation in the offerings in future times, whether we will or not, he says; and Jarchi confesses his ignorance of these things; since, according to the law, three tenth parts of an ephah of fine flour were only allowed to make a meat offering for one bullock, and two tenth parts for a ram, Nu 28:12, this may denote the more abundance of grace, and of the knowledge of Christ, under the Gospel dispensation, and especially in the latter day glory.

Eze 45:24. The word meat means meal” and it is so rendered in the margins of some Bibles. The formula for this offering, which was wholly vegetable except the salt, may be found in Leviticus 2. It was to be added to the animal sacriflees named.
