The prescribed portion of oil
In the context of Ezekiel's vision of the restored temple, the prescribed portion of oil signifies the offerings required for temple worship. Oil was a valuable commodity in ancient Israel, used for anointing, lighting, and as a part of grain offerings. This prescription underscores the importance of maintaining the temple's rituals and the people's dedication to God.

measured by the bath
The bath was a standard unit of liquid measurement in ancient Israel, approximately equivalent to 5.8 gallons or 22 liters. This precise measurement indicates the structured and orderly nature of worship in the temple, reflecting God's desire for order and precision in His instructions to His people.

is a tenth of a bath from each cor
A cor was a larger unit of measurement, and a tenth of a bath from each cor represents a tithe or a portion set aside for sacred purposes. This reflects the biblical principle of giving a portion of one's resources back to God, as seen in other scriptures like Leviticus 27:30 and Malachi 3:10, emphasizing stewardship and devotion.

(a cor consists of ten baths or one homer, since ten baths are equivalent to a homer)
This parenthetical explanation provides clarity on ancient measurements, showing the relationship between different units. A homer was a larger measure used for dry goods, equivalent to ten baths. This detailed explanation highlights the meticulous nature of God's instructions and the importance of understanding His commands fully. It also reflects the interconnectedness of the community's offerings, as each individual's contribution was part of a larger whole, symbolizing unity and collective worship.
