Context of Ezekiel 46:12

10And the prince in the midst of them, when they go in, shall go in; and when they go forth, shall go forth. 11And in the feasts and in the solemnities the grain offering shall be an ephah to a bullock, and an ephah to a ram, and to the lambs as he is able to give, and an hin of oil to an ephah. Now when the prince shall prepare a voluntary burnt offering or peace offerings voluntarily unto Yhwh, one shall then open him the gate that looketh toward the east, and he shall prepare his burnt offering and his peace offerings, as he did on the sabbath day: then he shall go forth; and after his going forth one shall shut the gate. 13Thou shalt daily prepare a burnt offering unto Yhwh of a lamb of the first year without blemish: thou shalt prepare it every morning. 14And thou shalt prepare a grain offering for it every morning, the sixth part of an ephah, and the third part of an hin of oil, to temper with the fine flour; a grain offering continually by a perpetual ordinance unto Yhwh.
