He shall also provide as a grain offering
In the context of Ezekiel's vision of the restored temple, the grain offering is a significant element of worship, symbolizing dedication and thanksgiving to God. Grain offerings were part of the Levitical sacrificial system (Leviticus 2), representing the fruits of human labor offered back to God. This offering underscores the importance of acknowledging God's provision and sovereignty.

an ephah for each bull
An ephah is a unit of dry measure used in ancient Israel, roughly equivalent to 22 liters or about half a bushel. The specific measurement for each bull indicates the precision and orderliness required in worship, reflecting God's holiness and the need for obedience to His commands. Bulls were often used in sacrifices for atonement and dedication (Leviticus 4:3), symbolizing strength and service.

and an ephah for each ram
Rams were also significant in sacrificial rituals, often associated with consecration and atonement (Exodus 29:1). The equal measure of an ephah for each ram highlights the uniformity and fairness in the offerings, ensuring that each sacrifice is given due respect and value.

along with a hin of olive oil for each ephah of grain
A hin is a liquid measure, approximately 3.7 liters or about one gallon. Olive oil was a valuable commodity in ancient Israel, used for anointing, cooking, and as a symbol of the Holy Spirit. The inclusion of oil with the grain offering signifies the richness and completeness of the offering, enhancing its aroma and quality. This combination can be seen as a type of Christ, who is the anointed one (Messiah) and the bread of life, providing spiritual nourishment and the presence of the Holy Spirit.

The specific measurements (ephah and hin) remind us that God values order and intentionality in worship. Our worship should be thoughtful and purposeful.

The Fulfillment in Christ
While the Old Testament offerings were a shadow of things to come, they find their fulfillment in Jesus Christ, who is the ultimate sacrifice for our sins.

Community and Worship
The communal aspect of offerings in the temple underscores the importance of corporate worship and the role of the community in supporting one another in faith.
