Berean Standard Bible
Ezekiel 45:11-14
11The ephah and the bath shall be the same quantity so that the bath will contain a tenth of a homer, and the ephah a tenth of a homer; the homer will be the standard measure for both.1
12The shekel will consist of twenty gerahs.2 Twenty shekels plus twenty-five shekels plus fifteen shekels will equal one mina.3
13This is the contribution you are to offer: a sixth of an ephah from each homer of wheat, and a sixth of an ephah from each homer of barley.4 14The prescribed portion of oil, measured by the bath, is a tenth of a bath from each cor5 (a cor consists of ten baths or one homer, since ten baths are equivalent to a homer).
