Context of Ezekiel 45:10

8This will be the part of Israel's land that belongs to the ruler. Because my rulers will have their own land, they will no longer need to make my people suffer. They will give to each tribe a part of the land that will belong to them. 9The Almighty Lord says this: Rulers of Israel, stop cheating my people and making them suffer! You have done enough bad things! Instead, do things that are right and fair. Stop chasing my people off their land. That is what the Almighty Lord says. You must use correct measures for size and for weight. 11The ephah that you use to measure dry things must be the same measure that you use for wet things. Ten ephahs will be equal to one homer. 1220 gerahs will be equal to one shekel. 60 shekels will be equal to one mina.
