Contextual Overview

1 So says the Lord Jehovah: The gate of the inner court that faces the east shall be shut the six days of work. But on the sabbath day it shall be opened, and in the day of the new moon it shall be opened. 2 And the prince shall enter by way of the porch of the gate from outside and shall stand by the gatepost. And the priests shall prepare his burnt offering and his peace offerings. And he shall worshipat the threshold of the gate. Then he shallgo out, but the gate shall not be shut until the evening. 3 And the people of the land shall worship at the door of that gate on the sabbaths, and on the new moons, before Jehovah. 4 And the burnt offering that the prince shall bring near to Jehovah on the sabbath day shall be six lambs without blemish, and a ram without blemish. 5 And the food offering shall be an ephah for a ram, and a food offering for the lambs, a gift of his hand; and a hin of oil to an ephah. 6 And in the day of the new moon: a bull without blemish, a son of the herd, and six lambs, and a ram, they shall be without blemish, 7 and an ephah for a bull and an ephah for a ram he shall prepare as a food offering; and for the lambs as his hand can reach; and a hin of oil to an ephah. 8 And when the prince shall enter, he shall enter by way of the porch of the gate, and by its way he shall go out. 9 But when the people of the land come before Jehovah at the appointed feasts, he who enters by way of the north gate to worship shall go out by way of the south gate. And he who enters by way of the south gate shall go out by way of the northgate. He shall not return by way of the gate by which he came in, but shall go out opposite it. 10 And the prince shall go in among them when they go in, and he shall go out when they go out.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And the meat offering shall be an ephah for a ram,....

:-:

and the meat offering for the lambs as he shall be able to give; or, and "the gift of his hand" k; it was fixed and stinted under the law,

Numbers 28:9, but now should be free and voluntary, and according to the ability of the giver; that is, the preacher of the word, who officiates for the prince, and in his name, and sets before the people the meat, or rather bread offering, Christ the bread of life, freely, and according to the ability and measure of the gift of grace bestowed upon him:

and an hin of oil to an ephah; which was also a larger quantity than under the law, denoting the larger measure of the gifts and graces of the Spirit, signified by oil, given unto the ministers of the word, and the people also; Numbers 28:9- :.

k מתת ידו "donum manus ejus", Cocceius, Starckius.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

As he shall be able to give - Rather, “as he shall be willing to give.” So also in Ezekiel 46:7.
