Exegetical and Hermeneutical Commentary of 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 a hin of oil to an ephah.
As he shall be able to give – Rather, as he shall be willing to give. So also in Eze 46:7.

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 Eze 46:11. So then one gallon and one pint of oil was required as proportion to three bushels of meal in the meat-offering.
