Parallels

  • Ezekiel 45:11 (verbal): Immediate context about weights and measures (homer and ephah); verse 13 repeats the allocation of one-sixth of an ephah from a homer for wheat and barley, linking the same measurement system.
  • Ezekiel 45:14–15 (thematic): Nearby instructions concerning the prince’s obligations to provide offerings and portions; verse 13 fits into these regulations about what the prince and the people must give for temple or cultic support.
  • Leviticus 27:30 (thematic): Law that the tithe (including grain) is holy to the Lord; connects with Ezekiel’s prescribed grain contributions (fractions of a homer/ephah) as designated portions for cultic use.
  • Numbers 18:21–24 (thematic): Rules assigning tithes and portions to the Levites/priests as their inheritance for service; parallels Ezekiel’s allocation system whereby specified portions of grain are set aside for cultic personnel/authority.
  • Ezekiel 46:12 (allusion): Regulation about the prince supplying offerings and portions when the people bring offerings; echoes Ezekiel 45:13’s concern with fixed grain portions as part of the prince’s and community’s cultic provisioning.

Parallels

  • Numbers 18:12-13 (thematic): Gives the priests’ entitlement to the best of the offerings and portions of the people’s produce (including sacred shares/tithes); parallels Ezekiel’s regulations about designated portions (oil/tithes) for the temple/priestly service.
  • Leviticus 2:1-2 (verbal): Prescribes oil as an essential element of the grain/meal offering ('pour oil on it'); connects verbally and liturgically with Ezekiel’s mention of oil in the context of offerings and sacred portions.
  • Deuteronomy 14:22-29 (thematic): Outlines the tithe of agricultural produce (including oil and wine), its use at the central sanctuary and support for Levites/poor; thematically parallels Ezekiel’s treatment of tenth-portions and distribution of produce for cultic/communal use.
  • Ezekiel 44:30 (structural): Within Ezekiel’s temple legislation, assigns priests specific portions of sin, guilt, burnt and other sacred offerings; structurally parallels 45:14 as part of the same program of priestly shares and cultic regulation.

Alternative generated candidates

  • And for the oil: a bath of oil shall be the tenth of a bath from the cor; the cor is ten baths.
  • And as the statute for oil: the bath of oil shall be from the tenth of a homer; for ten baths are a homer.

Parallels

  • Ezekiel 45:17 (structural): Immediate internal parallel — specifies the prince's obligation to give burnt offerings, meal offerings and sin offerings for the people, closely echoing 45:15's provision of a lamb for offerings and atonement.
  • Ezekiel 46:3-6 (thematic): Continues the temple-prince cultic regulations: the prince provides sin offerings, burnt offerings and peace offerings for the people when they worship — same liturgical function as the lamb-for-atonement in 45:15.
  • Leviticus 1:10 (cf. 1:2-3) (verbal): Law concerning offerings from the flock and the requirements for burnt offerings ('from the flock'/'lamb') — a verbal and cultic parallel to 45:15's specification of a lamb for burnt/meal/peace offerings.
  • Leviticus 16:6-11 (thematic): Day of Atonement ritual in which sacrificial animals are offered to make atonement for the people — thematic parallel to 45:15's use of offerings (including sin/peace/burnt) to secure atonement for the community.

Alternative generated candidates

  • And one sheep in two hundred from the flocks of Israel shall be the contribution—an offering for grain, for a burnt offering, and for peace offerings—to make atonement for them, says the Lord GOD.

Parallels

  • Ezekiel 45:17 (verbal): Immediate continuation in the same legal section: specifies the prince's responsibility for offerings, echoing that the people's contributions are for the prince.
  • Ezekiel 46:18 (structural): Another temple‑regulation in Ezekiel describing the prince’s receipt and distribution of oblations when the people come to worship—same institutional role for the prince.
  • Numbers 18:21 (thematic): God assigns the Levites an inheritance of the tithe given by the people—parallel principle of the community providing regular portions to appointed officials.
  • Deuteronomy 18:1 (thematic): The priests (Levites) are said to have no land inheritance because their share is the offerings of the people—similar allocation of popular contributions to religious/official functionaries.
  • 1 Samuel 8:15–17 (allusion): Samuel’s warning about a king’s exactions (levying sons, daughters, fields) forms a foil to Ezekiel’s regulated provision for a prince—both address authority taking from the people, but with different character and limits.

This is the offering that you shall present: one-sixth of an ephah of the finest wheat meal and one-sixth of an ephah of fine barley meal. And as for the oil: a bath of oil—an appointed portion of beaten oil, the tenth of an ephah shall be the measure for the grain offering. And one lamb from the flock—one for every two hundred—shall be the prince’s, for a sin offering and for a burnt offering and for peace offerings, to make atonement for them, declares the Lord GOD.

All the people of the land shall give this offering to the prince of Israel. And it shall be the prince’s to present the sin offering, the grain offering and the drink offering at the festivals, at the new moons and at the Sabbaths, in all the appointed feasts of the house of Israel; he shall make atonement for the house of Israel. Thus says the Lord GOD: On the first day of the first month you shall take a young bull—without blemish—and cleanse the sanctuary. And the priest shall take some of the blood of the sin offering and put it on the doorposts of the house, on the four corners of the court, and on the posts of the inner gate. Thus you shall do on the seventh day of the month: from a man who has erred you shall take the offering, and you shall make atonement for the house.

In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month, you shall observe the Passover; it shall be a seven-day feast—unleavened bread shall be eaten. And the prince shall, on that day, prepare for himself and for all the people of the land a young bull for a sin offering. And for the seven days of the feast he shall present a burnt offering to the LORD: seven bulls and seven rams, perfect for the seven days, and a sin offering—a goat—every day. And for a grain offering, an ephah for a bull and an ephah for a ram shall he prepare, and a hin of oil to the ephah.

In the seventh month, on the fifteenth day of the month, at the festival, he shall do likewise for seven days: as a sin offering, as a burnt offering, as a grain offering, and as oil. Thus says the Lord GOD: The gate of the inner court that faces east shall be shut six working days; but on the Sabbath it shall be opened, and on the day of the new moon it shall be opened.

When the prince enters, he shall enter by the outer vestibule of the gate and stand by the doorpost of the gate. The priests shall prepare his burnt offering and his peace offerings, and he shall bow down at the threshold of the gate; then he shall go out; and the gate shall not be shut until evening.

The people of the land shall bow themselves in worship at the entrance of that gate on the Sabbaths and on the new moons before the LORD.

When the prince presents a voluntary burnt offering to the LORD on the Sabbath, it shall be six perfect lambs and one perfect ram. And for a grain offering for the ram and for the lambs, an ephah—this as a voluntary gift from his hand; and a hin of oil to the ephah. And on the day of the new moon it shall be a young bull, perfect, and six lambs and a ram, all perfect. And a grain offering—an ephah for the bull and an ephah for the ram—and for the lambs as many as the hand may reach; and a hin of oil to the ephah.

When the prince enters by the outer vestibule of the gate he shall come in, and when he goes out he shall go out by the same way.

When the people of the land come before the LORD at the appointed festivals, he who enters by the north gate to worship shall go out by the south gate; and he who enters by the south gate shall go out by the north gate. They shall not return by the gate through which they entered, but shall go out opposite it.

The prince shall be in their midst when they come in and when they go out.

At the festivals and at the appointed seasons the grain offering shall be an ephah for a bull and an ephah for a ram, and for the lambs a voluntary gift from his hand; and a hin of oil to the ephah.

If the prince makes a voluntary burnt offering or peace offerings as a freewill offering to the LORD, the gate that faces east shall be opened for him; and he shall offer his burnt offering and his peace offerings as on the Sabbath. After he goes out, the gate shall be shut.

A yearling lamb, perfect, shall the prince offer every morning as a burnt offering to the LORD; every morning he shall offer it. And the grain offering on it shall be one-sixth of an ephah, and a third of a hin of oil to the ephah of fine flour—a perpetual statute for the LORD. Thus they shall offer the lamb and the grain offering and the oil every morning as the continual burnt offering. Thus says the Lord GOD: If the prince gives a gift to any of his sons, it shall be his inheritance; it shall belong to his sons by inheritance. But if he gives a gift from his inheritance to one of his servants, it shall be his until the year of release; then it shall return to the prince. His inheritance, however, shall be for his sons.

The prince shall not take any of the people’s inheritance by wrong to deprive them of their property; he shall give his sons an inheritance from his own possessions, so that my people will not be dispossessed.

Then he brought me to the entrance on the side of the gate leading to the priests’ chambers that face north; and behold, there was a place on the west side.

He said to me, "This is the place where the priests shall boil the guilt offerings and the sin offerings and bake the grain offerings; they shall not take them out into the outer court to sanctify the people."

Then he brought me out into the outer court and led me to its four corners; and behold, in each corner of the court there was a separate court.

At the four corners of the court there were four slaughter courts, each forty cubits long and thirty cubits wide—the same measurements for each of the four. And a pavement surrounded them all around, and cooking pits were made beneath the buttresses round about.

He said to me, "These are the kitchens where the ministers of the house shall boil the sacrifices of the people."
