John Gill Commentary Ezekiel 46:14

"And thou shalt prepare a meal-offering with it morning by morning, the sixth part of an ephah, and the third part of a hin of oil, to moisten the fine flour; a meal-offering unto Jehovah continually by a perpetual ordinance." — Ezekiel 46:14 (ASV)

And you shall prepare a meat offering for morning That is, for the daily burnt offering to go along with it; prayer and thanksgiving for our temporal and spiritual food, which should be done every morning:

the sixth part of an ephah, and the third part of a hin of oil, to temper with the fine flour; to mix with it, and moisten it:

Under the law, only a tenth part of an ephah of fine flour, and a fourth part of a hin of oil, were ordered to make this meat offering of, (Exodus 29:40), therefore Kimchi observes, this is a new thing in time to come: The reason of it is this; to show us, that as the blessings of grace abound under the Gospel dispensation, we should abound in our thanksgiving to God:

a meat offering, continually, by a perpetual ordinance unto the Lord; these sorts of sacrifices are never to cease; and so the Jews ^F14 themselves say, 'In future time, or in the days of the Messiah, all sacrifices shall cease; but the sacrifice of praise shall not cease.'
