Commentary
3 notes on this verse(Verse 11) And on market days and festivals there will be a sacrifice of one ephah of flour with a bull, and one ephah of flour with a ram. But the sacrifice of the lamb will be according to what his hand finds, and a hin of oil for each ephah. Therefore, at the fairs and solemnities, namely the Sabbaths, Kalends, and all the festivals we have spoken about before, both a calf and a ram will be offered as sacrifices, each measuring an ephah.
This site's exposition
At the festivals and appointed feasts
on Ezekiel 46:11-12
At the festivals the grain offering keeps the same measures, “an ephah with a bull, an ephah with a ram”. When the prince brings a freewill offering, “the gate facing east must be opened for him”. The freewill offering stands apart from the fixed calendar.
