Ezekiel 46:4-5

[4] And the burnt offering  that the prince  shall offer  unto the LORD  in the sabbath  day  shall be six  lambs  without blemish,  and a ram  without blemish.  [5] 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,  and an hin  of oil  to an ephah. 

What does Ezekiel 46:4-5 Mean?

Contextual Meaning

On the Sabbath days, the prince"s burnt offering would consist of six lambs and a ram without blemish. Grain offerings were to accompany them: an ephah with the ram, and as much as he was able to provide with the lambs. He was also to offer a hin of oil with each ephah of grain. This is a variation of what the Mosaic Law prescribed (cf. Numbers 28:9-10). These grain and oil offerings evidently symbolize the Lord"s rich provisions for His people.
