Ezequiel 45:10 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 45:10

Ye shall have just balances
That is, take care that true weights and just measures be used in trade and commerce, that so one man may not impose upon and cheat another; which is the business of the civil magistrate to look after: and a just ephah, and a just bath;
and not make the ephah small, and the shekel great, and falsifying the balances by deceit, as some did, ( Amos 8:5 ) the "ephah" was a measure for dry things, as wheat, barley and the "bath" for liquid things, as wine oil as Jarchi and Kimchi observe; see ( Leviticus 19:35 Leviticus 19:36 ) .

Ezequiel 45:10 In-Context

8 E esta terra será a sua possessão em Israel; e os meus príncipes não oprimirão mais o meu povo; mas distribuirão a terra pela casa de Israel, conforme as suas tribos.
9 Assim diz o Senhor Deus: Baste-vos, ó príncipes de Israel; afastai a violência e a opressão e praticai a retidão e a justiça; aliviai o meu povo das vossas exações, diz o Senhor Deus.
10 Tereis balanças justas, efa justa, e bato justo.
11 A efa e o bato serão duma mesma medida, de maneira que o bato contenha a décima parte do hômer, e a efa a décima parte do hômer; o hômer será a medida padrão.
12 E o siclo será de vinte jeiras; cinco siclos serão cinco siclos, e dez siclos serão dez; a vossa mina será de cinqüenta siclos.
