Context of Ezekiel 45:12

10You 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. 20 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. 14Take one litre of olive oil from every 100 litres.
