Ezekiel 46:14
You 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.

Study note
Setting — God addresses Ezekiel concerning the daily ritual procedures for the future temple. The command specifies the exact morning grain provision required alongside the daily lamb sacrifice.
The words — מִנְחָה (minchah) denotes a grain offering, while שִׁשִּׁית (shishith) specifies the sixth portion of an ephah. These terms anchor the measurement and type of provision required for the ritual.
The thread — The daily grain and oil measurements parallel the ritual specifications in Numbers 28:5. Ezekiel 46:13 and 46:15 frame this verse as part of a continuous morning sacrificial routine.
Why it lands — The text demands strict adherence to a fixed daily provision without alteration. It requires the reader to recognize the non-negotiable nature of the prescribed worship routine.
