Ezekiel 45:9-11

Expanded Bible

⁹ “‘This is what the Lord God says: ·You have gone far enough [Enough!], you ·rulers [princes] of Israel! Stop ·being cruel and hurting people [your violence and oppression], and do what is right and ·fair [just]. Stop ·forcing my people out of their homes [evicting my people], says the Lord God. ¹⁰ You must have ·honest [just] scales, an ·honest [just] ·dry measurement [^Lephah] and an ·honest [just] ·liquid measurement [^Lbath]. ¹¹ The dry measure [^Lephah] and the liquid measure [^Lbath] will be the same: The ·liquid measure [^Lbath] will always be a tenth of a homer [^C the Hebrew means “donkey-load,” and was about five bushels of dry measure and 55 gallons of liquid measure], and the dry measure [^Lephah] will always be a tenth of a homer. The ·measurement they follow [standard measure] will be the homer.
