Ezekiel 45:10

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 ) .
