Ezekiel 45:15 Summary
Ezekiel 45:15 is talking about how the people of Israel were supposed to give some of their sheep to God as an offering. This was a way for them to show God they were thankful for all He had given them and to ask for forgiveness for their sins. It's like when we give our best to God, we are showing Him that we trust Him and are grateful for His love (as seen in Psalm 50:14 and Matthew 22:37). By giving to God, we are reminded that everything we have comes from Him, and we should always be willing to give back to Him.
