Ezekiel 45:9-11
Contemporary English Version
Israel's Rulers Must Be Honest
9 The 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. 11 The 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]

- 45.11 the homer … ten ephahs … ten baths: A homer was either a dry or a liquid measure and equaled about 220 liters; an ephah would be about 22 liters, and a bath would be about 22 liters.
