Ezekiel 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 ) .

Ezekiel 45:10 In-Context

8 The prince will own that land in Israel. And my princes will not crush my people anymore. Instead, they will allow the people of Israel to receive their own share of land. It will be divided up based on their tribes."

9 The LORD and King says, "Princes of Israel, you have gone far enough! Stop hurting others. Do not crush them. Do what is fair and right. Stop taking my people's land away from them," announces the LORD and King.

10 "Use weights and measures that are honest and exact.

11 Use the same standard to measure dry and liquid products. Use a 6-bushel measure for dry products. And use a 60-gallon measure for liquids.

12 Every amount of money must be weighed out in keeping with the standard weights.
