What Does Ezekiel 46:7 Mean?
This verse establishes the grain offering proportions for new moon worship—matching the pattern of bulk animal plus variable smaller portions. One ephah per major animal (bullock and ram) ensures stable, recognizable quantities, while the lambs' portions flex with the prince's capacity or willingness.
The phrase 'according as his hand shall attain unto' invites the prince's voluntary amplification. His wealth and devotion can expand the offering beyond minimum, turning each sacrifice into a personal expression of gratitude and commitment.
