Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible (1871)

Not only is he to perform official acts of worship on holy days and feasts, but in "voluntary" offerings daily he is to show his individual zeal, surpassing all his people in liberality, and so setting them a princely example.

This site's exposition

unblemished year-old lamb as a daily burnt offering

on Ezekiel 46:13-15

Beneath the sabbath and new moon offerings sits the base rhythm of every morning, a yearling lamb without blemish with its own meat offering. Henry notes the daily lamb as the floor under the whole calendar, the one offering that never waits for a feast day.

This site's exposition

every morning a grain offering

The law of Exodus 29:38 to 42 set a lamb each morning and evening, and here only the morning offering is named. The flour is a sixth of an ephah, larger than the tenth in Numbers 28:5. Oil rises from a quarter hin to a third.

proposed

(Verses 13-15) He shall also offer a year-old lamb without blemish as a burnt offering to the Lord every day. He shall offer it in the morning and in the evening. And he shall offer as a grain offering a sixth of an ephah of grain and a third of a hin of olive oil, mixed with the grain offering. This is a perpetual ordinance to the Lord. You will make a lamb and a sacrifice, and oil every morning, a perpetual burnt offering.

How the passage was read

What the Jewish commentators add

a sixth of an ephah of the [post-Exodus] Jerusalemite measure, which is a fifth of the [Mosaic] “measure of the desert,” equaling two tenth parts, one for the daily meal-offering and one for the pancakes.
