Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible (1871)

on Ezekiel 45:13-15

In these oblations there is a progression as to the relation between the kind and the quantity: of the corn, the sixth of a tenth, that is, a sixtieth part of the quantity specified; of the oil, the tenth of a tenth, that is, an hundredth part; and of the flock, one from every two hundred.

This site's exposition

This is the oblation that ye shall offer

on Ezekiel 45:13-15

The people's own oblation is fixed by the new honest measures just given, a sixth part of an ephah of wheat and of barley, a tenth of the bath of oil, and one lamb from every two hundred, brought for the meat offering, the burnt offering and the peace offerings. The stated purpose closes the unit, to make reconciliation for them, keeping the whole ordinance tied to atonement rather than mere ritual tax. Fairbairn notes the modest fraction required, a system built to be sustainable rather than crushing.
