Ezekiel's measured final vision states or reports “Concerning the ordinance of oil, the bath of oil, ye shall offer the tenth part of a bath…” at Ezekiel 45:14 as a specific part of “People and Prince Share Responsibility for Offerings.”

- Ezekiel 45:13–17
Read Ezekiel 45:14 with 45:13–17. By itself, “Concerning the ordinance of oil, the bath of oil, ye shall offer the tenth part of a bath…” can be detached from the speaker, addressee, date, exilic horizon, visionary movement, or outcome that gives it force. The complete unit establishes: Grain, oil, and animals form an offering for the prince, who supplies festival, new-moon, Sabbath, sin, meal, burnt, and peace offerings for the people.
Why It Needs Context
Ezekiel 45:14 performs a local role inside “People and Prince Share Responsibility for Offerings.” Ezekiel's measured final vision states or reports “Concerning the ordinance of oil, the bath of oil, ye shall offer the tenth part of a bath…” at Ezekiel 45:14 as a specific part of “People and Prince Share Responsibility for Offerings.” The selected verse alone does not carry the full claim.
