Ezekiel 45:9-11

Contemporary English Version

Israel's Rulers Must Be Honest

⁹The Lord God said:

You leaders of Israel have cheated and abused my people long enough! I want you to stop sinning and start doing what is right and fair. You must never again force my people off their own land. I, the Lord, have spoken.

¹⁰^(A) So from now on, you must use honest weights and measures. ¹¹The ephah will be the standard dry measure, and the bath will be the standard liquid measure. Their size will be based on the homer, which will equal ten ephahs or ten baths.^[a]
