Ezekiel 46:16

14 And you shall prepare a grain offering with it every morning, a sixth of an ephah, and a third of a hin of oil to moisten the fine flour. This grain offering is a perpetual ordinance, to be made regularly to the Lord.

15 Thus they shall prepare the lamb, the grain offering, and the oil, as a ^aregular burnt offering every morning.”

The Prince and Inheritance Laws

16 ‘Thus says the Lord God: “If the prince gives a gift of some of his inheritance to any of his sons, it shall belong to his sons; it is their possession by inheritance.

17 But if he gives a gift of some of his inheritance to one of his servants, it shall be his until ^athe year of liberty, after which it shall return to the prince. But his inheritance shall belong to his sons; it shall become theirs.

18 Moreover ^athe prince shall not take any of the people’s inheritance by evicting them from their property; he shall provide an inheritance for his sons from his own property, so that none of My people may be scattered from his property.” ’ ”

How the Offerings Were Prepared

19 Now he brought me through the entrance, which was at the side of the gate, into the holy ^achambers of the priests which face toward the north; and there a place was situated at their extreme western end.

20 And he said to me, “This is the place where the priests shall ^aboil the trespass offering and the sin offering, and where they shall ^bbake the grain offering, so that they do not bring them out into the outer court ^cto sanctify the people.”
