The Prince's Offerings
10When the people enter, the prince shall go in with them, and when they leave, he shall leave. 11At the festivals and appointed feasts, the grain offering shall be an ephah with a bull, an ephah with a ram, and as much as one is able to give with the lambs, along with a hin of oil per ephah. 12When the prince makes a freewill offering to the LORD, whether a burnt offering or a peace offering, the gate facing east must be opened for him. He is to offer his burnt offering or peace offering just as he does on the Sabbath day. Then he shall go out, and the gate must be closed after he goes out.…

At the festivals and appointed feasts
This phrase refers to the sacred times set by God for the Israelites to gather and worship. The Hebrew word for "festivals" is "חַג" (chag), which implies a pilgrimage feast, a time of joy and celebration. "Appointed feasts" translates from "מוֹעֵד" (moed), meaning a fixed time or season, often associated with divine appointments. These times were not merely cultural traditions but divinely instituted occasions for worship, reflection, and community. They remind us of the importance of setting aside regular times to honor God, recognizing His sovereignty over time and history.

the grain offering
The grain offering, or "מִנְחָה" (minchah) in Hebrew, was a tribute to God, symbolizing the fruits of human labor and the acknowledgment of God's provision. It was an offering of gratitude and dedication, representing the work of human hands consecrated to the Lord. In a spiritual sense, it calls believers to offer their daily work and efforts to God, recognizing Him as the source of all blessings.

shall be an ephah with a bull, an ephah with a ram
An "ephah" is a unit of dry measure used in ancient Israel, roughly equivalent to 22 liters or about half a bushel. The specific mention of an ephah with a bull and a ram indicates the substantial nature of the offering, reflecting the worshiper's devotion and the significance of the occasion. The bull and the ram were valuable animals, symbolizing strength and leadership, and their inclusion in the offering underscores the importance of giving God our best.

and with the lambs as much as one is able to give
This phrase introduces a principle of proportional giving, where the offering of lambs is based on the individual's capacity. It highlights the grace and flexibility in God's requirements, acknowledging that not everyone has the same resources. This principle encourages believers to give according to their means, emphasizing the heart's willingness over the quantity of the gift.

along with a hin of oil per ephah
A "hin" is a liquid measure, approximately 3.7 liters or about one gallon. Oil was a valuable commodity in ancient times, used for anointing, cooking, and lighting. The inclusion of oil in the offering signifies the richness and completeness of the sacrifice. It symbolizes the Holy Spirit's presence and the anointing that comes from God. The combination of grain and oil in the offering points to a holistic dedication of both material and spiritual resources to God.

(11) And in the solemnities.--The new rules for the proportion of the meat offering, as laid down in Ezekiel 46:5; Ezekiel 46:7, Ezekiel 45:24, are here repeated for the feast days; and it is added that the same is to hold for all established seasons, a different proportion being prescribed only for the daily sacrifice (Ezekiel 46:14).

Verse 11 specifies the meat (or, meal) offering which should be presented in the feasts (חַגּים), or high festivals, as the Passover and Feast of Tabernacles, and in the solemnities (מועֲדִים), or appointed feasts generally, viz. an ephah to a bullock, and an ephah to a ram, and to the lambs as he is able to give (comp. vers. 5, 7), with a hin of oil to an ephah. This is the same meat offering as was appointed for the new moons (see ver. 7), but slightly different in quantity from, though the same in principle as, that stipulated for the seven days of the Passover (Ezekiel 45:24).
