Ezekiel

Ezekiel 45:9–12

⁹For this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘Enough, O princes of Israel! Cease your violence and oppression, and do what is just and right. Stop dispossessing My people, declares the Lord GOD.’

¹⁰You must use honest scales, a just ephah,^h and a just bath.ⁱ

¹¹The ephah and the bath shall be the same quantity so that the bath will contain a tenth of a homer, and the ephah a tenth of a homer; the homer will be the standard measure for both.^j

¹²The shekel will consist of twenty gerahs.^k Twenty shekels plus twenty-five shekels plus fifteen shekels will equal one mina.^l
