An ephah is a unit of dry measure used in ancient Israel, approximately equivalent to 22 liters or about half a bushel. This specific measure for the grain offering with the ram indicates a standard of worship and sacrifice that reflects the order and holiness required in the temple service. The ram, often used in sacrificial offerings, symbolizes strength and leadership, pointing to the need for a strong commitment in worship. This offering aligns with the Levitical laws found in <a href="/leviticus/23-13.htm">Leviticus 23:13</a>, where specific measures are prescribed for offerings, emphasizing the importance of obedience to God's commands.<p><b>and the grain offering with the lambs shall be as much as he is able</b><br>This phrase introduces flexibility in the offering, allowing the worshiper to give according to their means. The lamb, a common sacrificial animal, often represents innocence and purity, and is a type of Christ, the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world (<a href="/john/1-29.htm">John 1:29</a>). The allowance for the offerer to give "as much as he is able" reflects God's understanding and grace towards individual circumstances, encouraging heartfelt worship rather than mere ritual compliance. This principle is echoed in <a href="/2_corinthians/9-7.htm">2 Corinthians 9:7</a>, where Paul writes about giving as one has decided in their heart, not reluctantly or under compulsion.<p><b>along with a hin of oil per ephah</b><br>A hin is a unit of liquid measure, approximately 3.7 liters or about one gallon. Oil in biblical times was a valuable commodity, used for anointing, cooking, and as a symbol of the Holy Spirit. The inclusion of oil with the grain offering signifies the anointing and presence of the Spirit in the act of worship. This combination of grain and oil offerings is reminiscent of the peace offerings described in <a href="/leviticus/2.htm">Leviticus 2:1-16</a>, where oil is mixed with fine flour, symbolizing the richness and fullness of life in fellowship with God. The precise measure of oil per ephah underscores the importance of balance and completeness in worship, ensuring that offerings are made with sincerity and devotion.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/e/ezekiel.htm">Ezekiel</a></b><br>A prophet and priest during the Babylonian exile, Ezekiel is the author of the book.
