Ezekiel 45:10–12

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
