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 Esta tierra será su posesión en Israel; así mis príncipes no volverán a oprimir a mi pueblo, sino que dejarán que las tribus de Israel ocupen la tierra.
9 »”Así dice el SEÑOR omnipotente: ¡Basta ya, príncipes de Israel! ¡Abandonen la violencia y la explotación! ¡Practiquen el derecho y la justicia! ¡Dejen de extorsionar a mi pueblo! Lo afirma el SEÑOR.
10 ¡Usen balanzas justas, y pesas y medidas exactas!
11 Para sólidos y líquidos usarán la misma unidad de medida. El jómer de doscientos veinte litros servirá de patrón. Un bato de líquido será igual a una décima de jómer, y un efa de granos será igual a una décima de jómer.
12 En cuanto a las medidas de peso: una mina será igual a veinte siclos, y un siclo será igual a veinte guerás.
