Ezekiel 45:11

11 The ephah and the bath shall be one unit of measurement; the tenth part of the homer [is] the bath, and the tenth of the homer [is] the ephah; [so] the homer shall be its unit of measurement.

Ezekiel 45:11 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 45:11

The ephah and the bath shall be of one measure
The one held as much of dry things as the other of liquor; which, according to Bishop Cumberland, were seven wine gallons, four pints, and a little more: that the bath may contain the tenth part of an homer, and the ephah the
tenth part of an homer;
this "homer" must be carefully distinguished from another measure, called "omer", written without an "h", which was but the tenth part of an "ephah", ( Exodus 16:36 ) : the measure thereof shall be after the homer:
"as the homer was", so should the ephah and bath be, just the tenth part of it.

Ezekiel 45:11 In-Context

9 Thus says the Lord Yahweh, "Enough [of this] for you, the princes of Israel; put away violence and destruction and do justice and righteousness; revoke your [acts of] dispossession from upon my people!" {declares} the Lord Yahweh.

10 [There] shall be for you {an honest set of scales} and {an honest ephah} and {an honest bath}.

11 The ephah and the bath shall be one unit of measurement; the tenth part of the homer [is] the bath, and the tenth of the homer [is] the ephah; [so] the homer shall be its unit of measurement.

12 And the shekel [shall weigh] twenty gerahs, twenty shekels and five and twenty shekels [and] ten and five shekels, [that] shall make the mina for you.

13 This [is] the contribution [offering] which you shall present: a sixth of the ephah from a homer of wheat, and a sixth of the ephah from a homer of barley.
