Context of Ezekiel 45:11

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. 10You must use correct measures for size and for weight. The 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. 13This is the offering that you must give. Take from your harvest one homer from every 60 homers of wheat or barley.
