Ezekiel 45:11-15
Good News Translation
11 “The ephah for dry measure is to be equal to the bath for liquid measure. The standard is the homer.[a] The resulting measures are as follows:
1 homer = 10 ephahs = 10 baths
12 “Your weights are to be as follows:
20 gerahs = 1 shekel[b]
60 shekels = 1 mina
13-15 “This is the basis on which you are to make your offerings:
Wheat: 1/60th of your harvest
Barley: 1/60th of your harvest
Olive oil: 1/100th of the yield of your trees
(Measure it by the bath 10 baths = 1 homer = 1 kor)
Sheep: 1 sheep out of every 200 from the meadows of Israel
“You are to bring grain offerings, animals to be burned whole, and animals for fellowship offerings, so that your sins will be forgiven. I, the Sovereign Lord, command it.
